Are there any polls or data on how ethnic French people in France feel about their French World Cup team being <20% ethnic French? Do you think most disapprove of it?

https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/87-of-france-s-world-cup-winning-team-are-immigrants-or-children-of-immigrants In 2018, 87% of their team was not even French. It is probably lower for 2022. Some players are Europeans but not French. For example, Greizmann is Portuguese+German. Giroud is Italian. Hernandez brothers are Spanish.

I think only 3 players of the 25-man team are fully French. Veretout, Pavard, and Rabiot. Yikes.

I know France is 40% African, but are the remaining ethnic French people really fine with this? I am unsure because the entire nation still loves World Cup despite how the team doesn't seem to represent the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sickle_Cell_disease_screening_of_newborns_in_Metropolitan_France_in_2018.png

An error in you post, 40% of new borns are not french, not 40% of the population.

    Because sickle cell gene is in Sub-Saharan Africans, I am using that 40% sickle cell number to say 40% of France is Sub-Saharan Africa. I don't think Algerians like Zidane have sickle cell gene so they are not included. Not really sure because France made it illegal to collect racial data.

    Aren't there still parts of Africa which are officially France?
