The Chelsea Club Thread **No Spoilers**

Is it only black players though? Surely the song is also pointing to the likes of Zidane who was Algerian but played for France.

Zidane is French, was born in France and was raised in France.

I’m sure it’s pure coincidence they chose Angola, Cameroon, and Nigeria.

Zidane is French, was born in France and was raised in France.

Both his parents are Algerian and they emigrated to France.

Isn't this the whole point of this song?

Why are they singing about France anyway?

100%

It's like United winning the FA cup and then singling songs about Liverpool.

In fact it's even more bizarre as i wouldn't say there was much animosity between Argentina and France!

Where was Zidane born? His parents escaped before the war and lived in France for 20 years before Zidane was born. Zidane is French. Regardless, they didnt sing about Algeria!


Its quite clearly racist.

Who knows. People have this weird idea that everything people say and do is calculated. People are idiots and do silly things in the moment. There isn't usually a planning meeting involved in these things.

I've only seen the lyrics posted in this thread. Which bit is racist? It's anti immigrants if anything.
