I don't need to do any research, guy. 99% of their squad was born in France. DEFINITELY the "top players on their team." Hence their country of origin is France. Hence people calling you out.
What do you want me to Google? French colonization of Africa from like 150 years ago?
Should we go back a few decades back and talk about the US men's national basketball team members' "countries of origin?" :-) [Reply]

Just trying to say that the US team is no worse than those guys
Different leagues(or whatever there called). But, that aside, trust me this version of the USMNT was quite capable of losing to any team that made this year's WC. They lost a match to Trinidad and Tobago. [Reply]

Yeah, but it sounds like they were outnumbered if they played both Trinidad and Tobago.
We have an apartment building across the street from our house, and there are some idiots there who occasionally have loud parties. Most of the time we don't notice it because they're far enough away, but today it was a bunch of drunk millennials drunkenly pretending to be drunken fans of the World Cup and yelling and singing incredibly loudly. We were having lunch outside and it was really annoying, so I'm hoping that the rest of the World Cup games get taken out by a mudslide just to spite them. [Reply]

So did heads roll after missing the cup? Are they making changes? Or does our talent level suck so bad we have no business being in the tournament anyway? [Reply]
