That's right. 1998, 20 years ago when France last hosted and won the World Cup, they had an all white players.
2018, 20 years later winning the World Cup again, the team is full of black players.

Who says climate change isn't real?

It is obvious that you didn't watch France '98. Desailly, Barthez, Henry and Zidanne and many more were also Africans or have African ancestry.

TheArticleNG:
Sunday Oliseh, former Super Eagles player has congratulated France in a hilarious manner, highlighting the heavy African flavour in Didier Deschamps’ World Cup winning set-up.

Les Bleus defeated Croatia 4-2 to emerge champions at the Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday evening.

The victorious squad have a huge number of their players, including goalscorers Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe, with diverse African heritage.

And with any country from the continent yet to hoist the prestigious trophy, the former Super Eagles coach joined an array of fans to acknowledge Africa’s input to France’s second World Cup triumph.

The football manager wrote:

“Finally, Africa wins its first World Cup but in French colours lol,” Oliseh tweeted.

“Congratulations France, well deserved. Love the Croatian spirit though & their great team spirit.”

Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, Tunisia and Morocco were the five teams that represented Africa at this edition of the World Cup, but none was able to make it past the group stage in Russia as the continent marked another forgettable appearance at the grandest stage of football.

Zidane Zidane a player with Algeria roots scored two headed goals against Brazil in the final and Patrick Veira set up Emmanuel Petite for the third goal that ended in a humiliating defeat of Brazil who paraded stars like Romario,Rovaldo,, Ronaldo, Cafu and Roberto Carlos and the likes.
Virtually the whole French team in 98 were more than half a dozen player of African root that shook the world with their football artistry.
Euro2000 was no different co-hosted by Belgium and Holland and the French stars of African roots did the same.
I remember Silva Wiltod dying minutes goal and David Trezeguezt golden goal that broke the hearts of the Italians.
Oga,check your fact right before commenting.

Wow! I never knew.

Berbers are about a fifth of Algeria's population and complain about discrimination by the Arab majority.

I think Tunisia is the only Berber majority country in North Africa run by Berbers.

Spanish Sahara has been annexed by Morocco.
