Looking at the list of players that played for France there are more migrants from Africa in there and so is it not justified to say that it is Africa that won and not France?
Les Bleus clinched their first title on the global stage since 1998 after defeating the Croats in Moscow

Except Samuel Umtiti all players yesterday were born in France. 8 of the players yesterday have at least 1 parent from foreign origin (among them 2 from Spain and 1 from Belgium, and these are not African countries). They are proofs that integration works well in France, and it is not something new, France has always welcomed migrants.

@topffer Here the Government would like to have in the Swiss team only players who are born here. Most of the players have Swiss passport but they were not born here. The majority is from Kosovo and Albania. After the "incident" occurred during this World Cup, they are planning to impose restrictions.

I thought that myself. Mbappe was the real hero of this World Cup. And there are other players whose names show clearly their ancestry.

@LadyDuck If you notice people are becoming aware of this situation and as you said probably there will be new rules formed.
Sania Mirza the Tennis Player is settled in Pakistan but plays for India.
