World Cup 2018

This year the giants are falling with remarkable speed. That being said, I forecast either FRA v ENG or BEL v ENG in the final.

There is only one guy on that roster born in Africa.

I have one born in Cameroon,  another in guadeloupe, which is still part of france,  or am I missing another?

Edit: Backup goalie is born in Zaire, so you are right, 2.
 
I have no clue and haven’t looked into it, but CTV news last night displayed  a tweet in its reporting of the French victory which claimed that the team was “80% immigrants and 50% Muslim”.

Sad commentary on the state of CTVs journalism if they didn’t fact check that before broadcasting it.
 
A more useful statistic would be how many have training in theatre arts or interpretive dance.  The closest one sees of faking injuries to that degree is in a UMS line-up before a major exercise.

Very sad.

Some of these men were the sons of immigrants, but very much born in France.
