White people crying for quotas, who’s crying for hand me outs now? Critical race theory 😂
You cannot take racism out of Germany, Every facet of the European/German society is mired in racism.
Didn’t hear anyone saying there was anything wrong with South Africa fielding a 100% black team at AFCON earlier in the year
South Africa has laws reserving sports teams, saving a certain amount of places for black people.
Whole team should be white
Isn't it about who's the best to play in each position lol …with this mindset the France national team is fuc*ed then 😂
Do channel 4 hire anybody to narrate these days
The ARD is a right wing channel
Aren't the Euros racist to start with?
Uh oh not again
Hopefully they will be in disarray when Scotland play them Get right into them Scotland
Doesn't matter what colour skin a player is, if they are the best for you in that position, then they should be playing, simple as. Whether those players are just that, is up to the coach and the selectors.
Germans are white
End of discussion
But the football is not politics and any eligible player should be able to play
I mean where would France i mean African 11 be without Africa ?
What you gonna do when Mohammed Mohammed is a player in all europe national teams?
England squad looks closer to Nigerian team now. Well done Germany
But there are regular views expressed suggesting there should be more black representation?
Flip it and say black. It won't be racist.
Just change the font on the shirt so the number looks like this: 4 4
21% sounds about right, doesn't mean they have to listen🤷🏿
German, racist and pole in the same sentence. This can’t be good.
How many black players do they have?
They're not exactly France. 😂😂😂
