Well its true he looks white. Algerians are on the med so have a varied ethnic background from north africa - middle east - southen europe. Probably the best footballer ever.
I don't undestand why people are saying there's too many black people ? THEY ARE FRENCH!!!!!!! We don't care if they are black, white, yellow or blue! They are simply french! So for you, americans who are black are americans but french people who are black , are not french?? Come on people we're in 2011 not in the 1800! Stop being racist!
@MrTheAntman of course they are! Most of them are born in France, and even those who are not, they lived all their life here, and they chose to play for our country.
Barthezv, Zidane And Sagnol ! Are 3 ! But the BLACKS they are all french ! We live in 2012 And Not in 1880 ! Wie have to live together we are all The Same And only The Color ist different -.- Poor World we have to learn that !
You are right friend !!!! In basketball USA team, the major players are black, but they play for USA and they are AMERICAN. Same as the national soccer team of France, the major players are black, but they play for FRANCE and they are FRENCH. Stop racism.
VIVE LA FRANCE !!! Ce pays rempli d'histoire (LouisXIV, Napoléon, résisitance contre les Nazies ....). Contrairement à beaucoup d'autres pays, nous sommes un pays mixtes (blanc - black - beurre) ... c'est ça qui fait la beauté de notre pays :) Vive la France !!!
many french players have double passports, one french passport + one of a African country. Basing on the law, it is not wrong to call them french, but it is also right to call many of them Africans.
@sheriffisback In this army you have also Burgundians with the Franks you have also as leader Merovech a Frankish king who created the Merovingian dynasty who ruled France for a long time .
why you all say ,that they are africans? after all, the most of them sing the french nationalanthem. Watch at the German nationalteam.. no one immigrant in the german nationalteam,up to Cacau, sing one word of our anthem. Greetings from Germany ;D
There are all french ! But don't forget that we have some islands and columnies all over the world. Some come from Africa, that explains why there are blacks...
@cintaswart exactly. I am French and every single time that we win a game, there is always someone to throw that argument at me. I don't understand that someone can be so hurt by a defeat or be so affected by jealousy that they suddenly become racist. French people all feel pride for their national team. If the French press was bombarding the national team during the World Cup in South Africa, it's because they felt that they weren't represented correctly, which I totally agree with.
@sheriffisback i know the Visigoth and their kingdom were established in the south of France . But after their defeat at Vouillé by Clovis , they were been pratically expelled of France .
that wasn't a chicken, it was a rooster its the symbol of France, its the Football Federation logo, France used to be called Gaul in ancient times and gaul means rooster
@Antralian these guys are BORN in france!!!!!!! They grew up there and they probably never left their country! Some of them are more french than me even if i'm white and my name and last name are pure french
@guiris76 It could be, because nearly all these players have TWO passports: one is french, the place they born, and one passport of North/west africa country, where they parent immigrated (mainly ilegal at the beginning) from. So instead to call them the french team, we could also name them the 'Africa United', without any discrimination/disrespection
@MrTheAntman you can think whatever you like, but I don't see where's the problem. If you consider that people who are born and raised in a country are not from there just because of their origins it's your opinion and I respect it.But if we take your argument, it means that no one is from their country and that all the people are african because Africa is the cradle of civilization :)
@maimonidis He is of 100% Algerian descent. Both his parents are from there and were born there. He is an Algerian born in France, not a Frenchman. If one of his parents was French that would be fine, but their not. The black players are either born in an African country and illegally emigrate with their families as children, or their families illegally immigrate before they are born. In all cases they are not French, the only Frenchmen there are Willy Sagnol and Faban Barthez
@sheriffisback Oh and the British historian Nial Ferguson said this is the French who have won the most of battles and war in European history , so you can return to school to learn history .
@Cdb6es Oui. Je vu que beaucoup de gens croient encore au vieux fantôme de De Gaulle. J'ai été beaucoup de fois en la France. Et a ma humble avis d'étranger (je suis islandais), il y a beaucoup de noirs, musulmaines et arabes que sont tré plus de français que certains que sont blancs, latins, catholiques, né en France, enfants de français, petits-enfants de français, etc, mais n'ont pas la France dans son coeur.
So following your logic, it's okay to import an Italian goalkeeper, 2 German defenders, Two Brazilian full-backs, 2 Cameroonian Defensive Midfielders, 2 Portuguese Wingers, 1 Argentine Attacking Midfielder, and 1 Ivorian Striker, just as long as they acquire French citizenship??? The World Cup is NOT about club teams, that's what the CLUB World Cup is for.
Je ne critique absolument pas..Je sais que la France a beuacoup de colonie mais du point de vue des pays autres que les francophones ou européens,voir une équipe francaise avec autant de noir est assez incroyable...,c'est ce que je voulais dire.
when they sing AUX ARMES citoyens! THAT's amazing.
This was by far the best world cup!
le truc c'est pas de gagner ou perdre, c'est de représenter SON pays dans une compétition internationale.
Hino lindo, este da França.
even Zidane is Algerian.
Thank you for the intelligent comment. Its quite hard to actually find these nowadays.
great national anthem
VIVE LA FRANCE....from Newfoundland your Irish brother Travis Drago
Well its true he looks white. Algerians are on the med so have a varied ethnic background from north africa - middle east - southen europe. Probably the best footballer ever.
Foi uma pena na sua despedida o zizu não ter conquistado essa copa jogou muito bola nessa copa de 2006
Veo a Zidane con su adusta mirada y su balon bajo el brazo y reflexiono : " Lionel Messi ni viviendo cinco vidas podra igualarlo"
Tu comentario envejeció muy mal
I don't undestand why people are saying there's too many black people ? THEY ARE FRENCH!!!!!!! We don't care if they are black, white, yellow or blue! They are simply french! So for you, americans who are black are americans but french people who are black , are not french?? Come on people we're in 2011 not in the 1800! Stop being racist!
definitely they were the 2 greatest teams in the world cup, Italy beat the host Germany and France the favourite Brazil.
Nice to read this words :)
Merci CanadianWild.
Nous sommes d'accord , il ne faut pas réduire cette question a la dimension ethnique mais la loyauté et l'intégration comme disait Jacques Soustelle .
@MrTheAntman of course they are! Most of them are born in France, and even those who are not, they lived all their life here, and they chose to play for our country.
the best anthem after mexico....jajaja....its beautiful
dude was that a live rooster at the end?
Zidane
@taimeboubou because they are the best athletes..
im not saying its a bad thing, but it is amazing to see how many black players France have.
Barthezv, Zidane And Sagnol ! Are 3 ! But the BLACKS they are all french ! We live in 2012 And Not in 1880 ! Wie have to live together we are all The Same And only The Color ist different -.- Poor World we have to learn that !

the major players are black, but they play for FRANCE and they are FRENCH. Stop racism.
@cintaswart they're so proud of being french that they sing your anthem with all their heart lol zidane included cause he's algerian
le petit ecolier
@Feuerbach92 Thanks :)
VIVE LA FRANCE !!! Ce pays rempli d'histoire (LouisXIV, Napoléon, résisitance contre les Nazies ....). Contrairement à beaucoup d'autres pays, nous sommes un pays mixtes (blanc - black - beurre) ... c'est ça qui fait la beauté de notre pays :)
Vive la France !!!
ese gallo es un ganador
France plays football the same way it fights its wars: with other countries' men.
100 % avec toi
t'as raiiiison
@MrTheAntman please tell us in which city is zidane born?
@Tetistar l'hymne national c'est justement un des symboles les plus importants du pays donc c'est peut être pour ça
Para mi es más bonita la música del himno italiano !!!
hahahahahah very funny. At least we have people of all origins here in France. LONG LIVE FRANCE !
many french players have double passports, one french passport + one of a African country. Basing on the law, it is not wrong to call them french, but it is also right to call many of them Africans.
@sheriffisback
The Domain of Soissons who which defeated by Clovis was the perpetuation of the Roman empire in France .
@sheriffisback
In this army you have also Burgundians with the Franks you have also as leader Merovech a Frankish king who created the Merovingian dynasty who ruled France for a long time .
Chale, nadie aguanta un poco de saludable e hilarante racismo.
@sheriffisback
We can say that clovis put the coup de grace to the Roman Empire in France .
@MrBlackbrazilian
Because they were mixed since long times .
@sheriffisback
We talk about the same time 5th et 6th century . You are right Clovis beaten the roman empire and expelled the Visigoth after .
why you all say ,that they are africans? after all, the most of them sing the french nationalanthem. Watch at the German nationalteam.. no one immigrant in the german nationalteam,up to Cacau, sing one word of our anthem. Greetings from Germany ;D
There are all french ! But don't forget that we have some islands and columnies all over the world. Some come from Africa, that explains why there are blacks...
more than a half.
Only Sagnol, Barthez and Zidane are white.
Rien à voir avec l'equipe de France de rugby qui elle est vraiment passionnée
@cintaswart exactly. I am French and every single time that we win a game, there is always someone to throw that argument at me.
I don't understand that someone can be so hurt by a defeat or be so affected by jealousy that they suddenly become racist. French people all feel pride for their national team.

No , but it´s their habit very difficult to stop....
grande Zidane!!!!
right..
@sheriffisback
i know the Visigoth and their kingdom were established in the south of France . But after their defeat at Vouillé by Clovis , they were been pratically expelled of France .
Légion étrangère
@gipcambero ahhahaha thanks
that wasn't a chicken, it was a rooster
its the symbol of France, its the Football Federation logo, France used to be called Gaul in ancient times and gaul means rooster

Oui enfin ça passe par la victoire quand même.
Teriffic, la Marseillaise!
ZIDANE - the best player in the world.
Oh Zidane.
MATERAZZI !
Zidane is the best... Materazzi is bastard
@guiris76
It could be, because nearly all these players have TWO passports: one is french, the place they born, and one passport of North/west africa country, where they parent immigrated (mainly ilegal at the beginning) from. So instead to call them the french team, we could also name them the 'Africa United', without any discrimination/disrespection
@sheriffisback
Yes i know that but Clovis beaten what remained of the Roman Empire .
@MrTheAntman you can think whatever you like, but I don't see where's the problem. If you consider that people who are born and raised in a country are not from there just because of their origins it's your opinion and I respect it.But if we take your argument, it means that no one is from their country and that all the people are african because Africa is the cradle of civilization :)
Respect France Tkank's.
LIBERTY EGALITY FRATERNITY.
stevefrommass1982: Sorry I bothered you.
@maimonidis He is of 100% Algerian descent. Both his parents are from there and were born there. He is an Algerian born in France, not a Frenchman.

In all cases they are not French, the only Frenchmen there are Willy Sagnol and Faban Barthez
at least they've got the 3 token whites at the end haha!
el equipe africa!!!
Nobody has hair on the head. Everybody was bald
@sheriffisback
Oh and the British historian Nial Ferguson said this is the French who have won the most of battles and war in European history , so you can return to school to learn history .
@sheriffisback
At the 5th century the Franks beaten the Roman and the Visigoths and it's the begining of the creation of France .
is barthezz from south africa? did he neutralize himself to play for them?
@Cdb6es Oui. Je vu que beaucoup de gens croient encore au vieux fantôme de De Gaulle. J'ai été beaucoup de fois en la France. Et a ma humble avis d'étranger (je suis islandais), il y a beaucoup de noirs, musulmaines et arabes que sont tré plus de français que certains que sont blancs, latins, catholiques, né en France, enfants de français, petits-enfants de français, etc, mais n'ont pas la France dans son coeur.

The World Cup is NOT about club teams, that's what the CLUB World Cup is for.
Is it French or south africa ?

그나저나 닭을 들고있는 그 프랑스아저씨는 대체 누굽니까?
@taimeboubou
Why are there only blacks in your national Track and field's team?
@Calatafimi bravo!! tu veux un cookie pour ce commentaire tres instructif? :)
Toulalan is the only french guy in there with Barthez...the rest seem to be from ghana
@MrTheAntman aren´t we not all sons of god!?
@Tommyfazz my mistake it should read: 'stupid question'.
So basically you don't want blacks player for France, because Zidane himself is not European - he is Berber.
enorme zizou
no. mooron.. near kentuky ¬¬
I don´t care if they are black or white, as long as they are singing the natonal anthem. In Germany, no imigrate Player sings the hymn. Thats a shame!
the middle part of the anthem is nicely written! but not easy to sing for everyone?
@TheFrieza16 lol And Zidane is neither "white" really actually, he has also algerian blood ;P
well Zimbabwe don't get final world cup
The Africa's All Stars Team!!! Why they are singing the French Anthem? :D
@i9520083 All those blacks are from their former colony in north africa.
comment aimé un pay qui refuse de nous respecter
@sheriffisback
"and just for three centuries." . 3 centuries is a very very long time this is why you have Arab head now .
zidane the beast
Why would you frown?
africa du nord o new africa vs korea¿?¿?¿
Je ne critique absolument pas..Je sais que la France a beuacoup de colonie mais du point de vue des pays autres que les francophones ou européens,voir une équipe francaise avec autant de noir est assez incroyable...,c'est ce que je voulais dire.
@sheriffisback
The Franks beaten the Goths and others and created the Carolingian empire .
