14 out of the 15 players who played for France today were black (including substitutions). Edit: the match was against Croatia, not the Netherlands.
The West is overrun.

To be fair? France always had a number of Black players due to their many colonies. They kept control of them far later than UK or other nations, and encouraged immigration to Europe from there.
That said: It used to be 6-8 while other nations had 3-5. Now as you say it's 14/15 and other nations are 10/15 as well.
there was a terrorist organization inside the military that wanted to assassinate de Gaulle because he wanted out of the colonies.
That was Algeria. They're not quite as black.
