2014 World Cup

Those are not Gallic surnames.  Valbuena is clearly Spanish, Cabaye cripto Spanish, Griezmann Germanic.

[Duque de Bragança]

Distinct absence of French surnames on the team.  So with the absence of the very French Ribbery, this team's Frenchiness is only 50% of the previous team's.

Benzema is what, an Arab name?

Distinct absence of French surnames on the team compared the previous team? Seriously ? This has been this way for quite a while.
As for very French Ribéry, yes he's from Northern France from French parents but he's a total ghetto reject and retard who cannot even speak French properly. Going through a windshield as a baby did not help, maybe the parents weren't the best but still calling him very French 

PS: Cabaye as cripto (sic) Spanish ? Really?

Valbuena is no French surname (Spanish) Évra is an African surname (Guinea/Senegal). The rest is spot on unless you consider à la Yi Catalan and Alsatian/Mosellan surnames to be out of place in France.

I'm not calling him le plus frenchie for his dictee scores.

He's got a beak like a toucan, he's on the short side, he's got a pretty scowly face, and a very French sounding name.  Voila!

Didn't you just say it was a Catalan name?

If prior games were any indication, Argentina loses this one 1-3.

He can't even speak much less write. Being French is more than a gallic surname or name like Gérard. Culture matters.

Nope. I used Spanish since it encompasses more than Castilian and more easily understood. What's so Catalan about Cabaye? Guy is from Northern France. Just a spelling variant of Cabaille (Frog enough for you?).

By the way, Yanks, how's Roberto doing on ESPN?

[Warspite]

Messi is moving around like a lead brick on Jupiter.

[Liep]

What a poorly played game.

Besic.
Sensible haircuts.
Lulic.
