>Spain: 24 in joint 5th place
If we go further down the list
>United Kingdom: 17
>Belgium: 14
>Netherlands: 6
>Germany: 6
>Portugal: 5
You fellas need to step up your game

>>152846350
you're welcome, fren
now gib us only best of the best

Why do French women love black men so much?

If we do leagues it gets interesting
>Ligue 1: 51 (70 in total including lower divisions)
>English Premier League: 33
>Egyptian Premier League: 31
>South African Premiership: 30
>Turkish Super Lig: 21
>Serie A: 21
>Bundesliga: 18
>La Liga: 16
>Saudi Pro League: 16

>>152846350
But France is a African country too

>>152846350
>tfw our Empire subjects are all shit at sport

Honestly this just highlights how insane France's infrastructure is. They have an elite nt while simultaneously pumping like 9 other African countries nt's

>>152848145
The good ones declared their independence a long time ago.

>>152846350
why so many from ivory coast, are those from french academies aswell?

>>152846350
Them all using only domestic talents would surely massively change the power balance. Egypt and South Africa would profit a lot, I guess. Nigeria might also get a bit off it. The rest? Would be fucked, wouldn’t they?
As much talent Africa is credited with, they seem to absolutely suck at developing it. Not like their domestic output also partially depends on European clubs and organizations financing it

>>152848145
aren't there a lot of pakistanis and indians and even somalis in the uk too ? why are they not using your infrastructure to pump out players i thought they loved football

>>152846350
the african man can only achieve greatness through the white man

>>152846350
>MY NIGGERS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR NIGGERS
Doesn’t work with France I guess, they’re all french ahaha

>>152848211
They are still shit at the only sport that matters though

>>152848330
They have a lot of diaspora in neighbouring countries most notably Burkina Faso, 8 of Burkina's players were born there so that inflates the numbers a little. but they do have a strong youth development system, they probably still send them to Europe at a young age though

>>152846350
so how come Africans act like France stole the 2018 world cup title when their national teams are full of players that were born and raised in France?

>>152846450
Correct. The reunion islands , part of french territory are in the african continent

>>152848419
They do not. They love cricket and selling steroids at the gym. They hate football. Adverts are legally required to depict diversity, so every group of football fans advertising Ladbrokes or Bet365 or whatever will always include Mohammed and Tariq among the #lads, but in real life that’s very rare.

>>152848622
because we don't let them borrow the best ones

>>152848419
>Pakis
Yes
>Indians
Yes
>Somalis
Not really

It's mostly we ex colonies. The largest non white nationalities are India , Pakistani, Nigerian, Jamaican and Bangladesh in the UK

>>152848379
You'd have to look at club football to gauge that, Egyptian, South African, Tunisian, Moroccan, Congolese clubs are the most competitive and I think Algeria would be fine as well even if their clubs choke a lot but their league is decent. so all those nations would be the most competitive in Afcon but obviously nowhere near as good as they are now

>>152848145
Well, so are you

>>152848379
that's what the CHAN is for

>>152846350
that can't be true

>>152848200
It only highlights how having a large African diaspora is an advantage.
They have an elite black team and are pumping out multiple African teams on the side, other European countries have Indian and Syrian diaspora so it's not nearly as impressive.

>>152848440
and vice versa

>>152859530
They're getting rid of CHAN.
Another Afcon next year and in 2028. From then on Afcon will be held every 4 years + 4 Nations Leagues in this 4 year cycle.

someone on leddit made a map. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1GUjYFLSQx-dlthE23Fd8WFPGgKOZfIw

>Some stats: 665 players
>206 players born outside the country they represent. 108 in France, 24 in Spain, 17 in England, 14 in Belgium, 10 in Côte d'Ivoire.
>Most represented town is Bamako with 17 players (all play for Mali). Then it's Luanda with 14 (all — Angola), Lusaka with 12 (all — Zambia).
>Paris is the most international city: 12 players representing 7 countries. Marseille has players from 4 countries. Montreuil, Lyon and Adjame — 3 countries.
>Every player in Egypt, South Africa and Botswana's squads was born within the national borders. Comoros have only one player actually from the country of Comoros (three more are from Mayotte, which is part of the Comoro Islands archipelago, but is a French territory).

>>152864193
lolno

>>152884304
>that one tunisian nigga in the northernmost part of norway
>that other tunisian nigga in reunion island
what are tunisians up to...

>>152884304
>Every player in Egypt was born within the national borders
And this is why they don't win it anymore, which sucks because they're playing fair unlike the others.

>>152884366
won't deny the disadvantage but that's just too easy of an excuse tbqh, >we won it thrice in a row with locals against the golden generations of ivory coast and cameroon which were stacked with players from europe's top leagues. it's just that this current crop of players are soulless chokers

>>152884308
congrats on the World Cup win

>>152878110
what do you want me to say ? It is the reason why. Why do you think pakis are common in england but not france but algerians are common in france but not england
