No, I'm saying they're not as good with a near 100% immigrant team.
Their 1998 team should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Belgium's "golden generation" were hyped because all of them played in the overrated English premiership. They were an utter failure, winning nothing after being predicted to win at least two tournaments, all compounded by their humiliation to lowly Wales in Euro 2016.
Belgium's real golden generation was their 1986 world cup semi final team who were almost all Flemish, East Belgian or Walloon.
The French team that won the 1998 world cup had a core group of French players who were all key leaders in every position - Deschamps, Blanc, Barthez and Dugarry. This was the same of the 2018 team. What happened in Qatar once these leaders were off the field? They collapsed in the penalty shoot out. Their French players are vital to the integrity of the team.
Yes, I'm talking about players who come from their ancestral homeland. The quality of these tournaments has declined because all these teams have immigrant players, while the only truly good team - Spain - didn't.
You know what I'm talking about then haha.
No, he over-acted in this film. Far too hysterical, which is typical of Oliver Stone films.
Tom's best acting performance is Rain Man, which was far more understated and convincing.
<blockquote> at the end of the day, Tom Cruise is writing stories for Tom Cruise,” Jacinto, who’s Filipino Canadian, told the outlet. <b>“It’s up to us — Asian Americans, people of color — to be that [for ourselves]. We can’t wait for somebody else to do it. If we want bigger stories out there, we have to make them for ourselves</b>.”</blockquote>
Ding ding ding!!!
Exactly! But they can't. Minorities are incapable of creating their own film franchises, their own stories, and their own characters. All they can do is beg a white man to create something cool and then bitch at him for not including them in it.
As regards to him being cut. Yes, we get it, the original Top Gun had an all white cast with all male pilots, and that's unacceptable in today's environment, but they don't have to always cast people just to fill a quota, you need good actors, which I'm assuming is why this guy had his lines cut - he wasn't good enough.
Top Gun Maverick was chock full of diversity regardless, and it was a pale imitation of the original.
You sound like someone who only watches football because you identify with the non-white players. That's not being a football fan.
So.. France lost 3 times since winning the world cup. They've failed. Got it.
France, Holland etc have teams made up of players from an immigrant background. I don't care if they're born there. They are not ethnically French or Dutch. That's my point.
There is a big difference between 5-6 and 7-4. Germany won the World Cup in 2014 with a mostly ethnic German team. They have underachieved since bringing in immigrant players.
And France's 2018 team had a core of French players - Pavard, Lloris, Girourd and Greizmann (his German relative is from two centuries ago so it's safe to say he's ethnic French). These players were leaders for the team in defense, midfield and attack. They do not win the world cup without them. Since then they've failed since they've become near 100 percent immigrant.
There is a pattern - the best teams are not full of immigrants.
2018 was three entire tournaments ago. They have failed in three consecutive tournaments since then, proving that their immigrant team are not good enough to dominate international football like what Spain did from 2008-12 with their ethnic Spaniard team.
Germany had 2 more white players - which meant most of their team is not immigrants. 7-4 is a majority.
England had 6 white players meaning their side was mostly not immigrant in the final... and they lost to a team that was vastly superior because they had 9 Spaniards and not 9 immigrants.
No, you're clearly not a football fan. There is a clear difference between a team and a squad. I would've mentioned their entire national squad, and not team, if that was my point.
I didn't ignore it. It was a ridiculous point. Italy and Croatia played bad? So? Turkey reached the quarter finals with a team with zero immigrants. Slovakia, a tiny nation of zero immigrants, reached the knockout stages and were one minute from beating England.
And the team who won the tournament, who were head and shoulders above everyone else - had 9 of their 11 players who were not of immigrant background.
And again, no one cares about squads. That German team, the first 11, the same players they kept for the entire tournament, were mostly white. Spin it all you want.
In what game? All of them. Did you watch the tournament? Their starting 11 were mostly German.
Yes the key word being "team" and not "squad"
International sides keep more or less the same 11 throughout the tournament. That's why I emphasize team.
Germany's starting 11 did not have 8 non-Germans. They were mostly white.
I originally said the *team* that played England, not the *squad*. I watched the game and saw the names on the starting 11 before it kicked off.
The Swiss team are mostly immigrant background. Albanians, Spanish, Turkish, mixed race, Africans - none of these are ethnic Swiss. It is not their ancestral homeland. My point still stands.
They're forced to play those tactics because the French coach knew they'd be easily beaten by not playing ultra defensive. That shows a lack of belief in his players to play the same way the ethnic Spaniards or Argentines do. Their immigrant team failed.
As for your second point, it doesn't matter. Spain won the tournament with almost of all their players being ethnic Spaniards. Germany were clearly the second best team, had a mostly ethnic German team as well.
You just proved that most of that team are not ethnic Swiss whose ancestors have been there for centuries. That's my point.
Lol, so 5. Why not 11? More than half the team is still immigrant background compared to all Serbian and Danish teams that were all ethnic Serbs or Danes.
The French team were absolutely awful to watch, and spoiled the tournament. They were easily undone by a Spanish side that had 9 out of 11 ethnic Spaniards, likewise in the World cup final they were beaten by an Argentine team who were all Argentines, sending a message that giving up your whole team to immigrants doesn't mean you will be the best.
The Swiss team that played England had a few German Swiss, the rest were immigrant background.
Compare that to Scotland, Denmark or any of the former Soviet bloc countries, and it's night and day.
I think the France team is going the way of the American NBA.
It's not racist to notice it, or talk about it. If the South African national team were all white then there would be a lot of pissing and moaning. In fact, any time you have white people anywhere be it in movies or tv or competitions or schools then there's always someone complaining about "too many" whites.
