corentin tolisso: Blaise Matuidi, Thomas Lemar, Steven Nzonzi, Kylian Mbapp Nabil Fekir, Paul Pogba, Samuel Umtiti, Steve Mandanda and Corentin Tolisso are the children of African immigrants who found a new home in France, according to NOW Magazine. There are others among the team, like Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann, whose parents emigrated from other parts of Europe to France. In the face of growing anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States and parts of Europe, France's national team triumphed in the recently concluded World Cup with a squad composed mostly of players whose families are originally from Africa. In fact, only two in the starting lineup Benjamin Pavard and Florian Thauvin can lay claim to being full-blooded Frenchmen. Zidane's background is Algerian. It's the second time France has won the World Cup with a similar composition of immigrants' sons having raised the trophy with the great Zinedine Zidane as captain in 1998.
