Purely out of curiousity: what is the definition of 'migrant' for these statistics? A player being born outside the country they are playing for? Or a player who was born in the country they are playing for, but whose parents or grandparents or greatgrandparents weren't?

Must be the second proposition.

In the case of the French team, most of the players are French-born. Only Mandanda and Umtiti were born abroad.

Not even...  to reach 78% (18/23), you have to count the likes of Griezmann and Hernadez and also Lémar and Varane (whose famillies were allready french citizns living in a french territory at a time when most of the countries in this world cup didn't even exist, but still count as "migrants", presumably becaure they are not white...)

 

Funny how teams made up of virtualy 100% foreigner-born players like Tnisia or Morocco somehow don't count either...

 

Nevermind, really.

'Rarely' is not 'never'

This match is exactly what I expected to see today. I think who will score first will qualify, and I don't see a big score, maybe 1-0, 2-1...
