I think his wife posted a pic of them playing Uno, around the time the England game kicked off.

such a boy scout man, let the man make his own decision.

Normally I do think most players would regret it (especially English), but Ben seems a little different.

No one does controversy like the French.

Outrageous btw.

Outrageous btw.

I was surprised / disappointed more French players didn’t kick up a fuss as there’s so many Muslims in their squad.

If they went on strike…

Players are a bit funny about jeopardizing their call ups, especially for the big nations.

Individually yes, but if a critical mass of players spoke up about this it would be changed in about 5 seconds.

You’d be surprised tbh.

All these counties have sleepwalked to a place a few steps away from fascism so it’s not that surprising people are biting their tongues.

I mean they discussed revoking Benzemas citizenship coz he wore an Arab outfit fgs

Yes, and no. Heck, Mbappe alone could threaten to quit France over this and they would bin it in like 3 seconds.

I didn’t even see this initially lol I only saw the video posted in the Southgate thread and knew what he was trying. Leave our club alone smh

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Boooooo!!!

 

[RunTheTrap]

Outrageous by the way.

It is. You would think a country that has produced some of the best Muslim footballers would be more considerate. Tbf, France has a history of Islamophobia. I believe they’re the first European country to ban the burqa too.

No surprise here. France is outrageously bigoted. To be fair most of Europe is now.

Awful place to live.

They'd just call their bluff. Can't expect Mbappe to end his national team career over it, pretty sure he wasn't raised Muslim. The Muslims in the NT themselves who knows how much they care.

This isn't the first time this happened, Clairefontaine Frances most elite academy used to do witch hunts for prayer mats and literally kick kids out if they were found with one. There was a documentary where one of the yutes said the non Muslims started snitching on the Muslims.

Not just in the past or with kids either, Nabil Fekir was asked by club management to trim his beard so that people wouldn't associate him with Islam. Good on him that he told them to **** off and left the club.
