The French National Team may have won the world cup in grande style and deservedly too with so many talented players in their ranks, but one thing to point out is that they won it with Africans and Africa as a whole. One cannot fault the quality in the squad and their ability to live up to expectation on the biggest stage. Another golden generation and another success for the country who are reaping the reward from their multiculturalism and ability to integrate different people, class, skills, and talents into their own and use them wisely.
This is more than a success on the pitch but in all ramifications in the country and other European countries whose doors are open to the black nations and Africans looking to excel outside the shores of the continent. They should be applauded and given some accolades for this success.
As we are celebrating them, the African Continent should be ashamed of herself because it also shows another area in which she has failed. From political, economic, and all spheres of life the continent keeps on going backward as she can't harness the potentials inherent in her. Both Natural and human resources are being wasted everyday in this continent, no wonder many citizens are relocating abroad for shelter and support. Most Africans will rather be a refugee in Europe because they know they have brighter chances of making it than being a free citizen in this continent. Nothing is working in every areas and we have been put to shame on the biggest sport platform in the world.
Their are so many Mbappe, Kante, Pogba, our own Messi, and Ronaldo e.t.c right here on the street of Africa with heads full of dreams but with uncertainties if they will ever make it out of the hood but nobody is doing anything about it. Talents are struggling to shine or blossom in Africa because of bad leadership, powers in the wrong hands, old men who will not change, or lack the ideas of how to run a country but who are after their own well being not that of the nation, under developed economy, corruption, and oppressions of various forms
Almost 80% of the French national team players consist of Africans whose talents may have never been used if they had been in Africa. We are talking of players who are dominating the world right now with amazing price tags on their head, these are players with normal African Background of suffering and hardship but are currently ruling the world, the reward of hardwork and ability to break from the chains of oppression and under development. The European continent keep on re writing our wrongs and succeeding in areas we have failed woefully. We keep on fighting corruption and neglecting the resources we have to dominate the world. If things don't get better anytime soon, resources will keep on relocating and the world outside will continue to grow while this continent continue to die in struggles.
