French FEMALE Football squad, which European football team looks the closest?

There are a couple very exotic ones in the Dutch team, I don't think they are ethnic Dutch.

[Smaug]

Some look Slavic.

[WOOHP]

Some look Slavic.

I think it's the Sub-Nordid ones giving a pseudo Baltid/West Baltid vibe.

Eugénie Le Sommer(7th) for an example does that, she looks a bit Slavic.

[WOOHP]

Bump

[Graham]

They look a cross between Germans & English.

[rashka]

To me she doesn't look Slavic. Maybe everyone has their own concept of Slavic looks.

The one from ABF is the same as mine, excpet that I've got all the whites and I excluded the obvious mixed one.

Include the Scotland team also. :)

So many Börrebys in the Scottish team lol. They're hot.

[Armand_Duval]

They look more similar to britsh team IMHO.

[Sikeliot]

Dutch with some Spanish types. So Dutch.

Dutch with some Spanish types. So Dutch.
She looks very Iberian imo:

Camille Catala. Surname indicates that she's from Midi-Pyrénées, SW France.

I agree. Even her profile.

http://www.vavel.com/files/Juvisy_PSG__18.05.13__Camille_Catala__2__842397696 .jpg

Her surname, Catala, is Catalan. If it was occitan, it'd finish with an n.

[Graham]

Some masculine Borreby. It tends to be the type that are 'tom-boys', who grow up playing football..

[WOOHP]

Yes, French football team attracts blonde people or what? :rolleyes:
Give it a rest they are quite typical, and most are "bottle blondes".

[rashka]

Female athletes can have all sorts of looks but if you want us to vote then you should put the French girls in a similar style of photographs like the others.

Similar to this layout: these are Serbian girl soccer players.

http://i.imgur.com/Tinr2jH.jpg

[WOOHP]

I havn't said that they do represent France as a whole, but they certainly arn't atypical or give a wrong picture of how French women look like.

What's wrong with the pics? You can compare quite easily with the other teams.

Couldn't imagine her fitting anywhere but England. Looks so English

Nę, but some of those ladies could pass in Eastern European countries in my opinion, but what do I know? I'm just a Westerling...

I think it's the Sub-Nordid ones giving a pseudo Baltid/West Baltid vibe.

Eugénie Le Sommer(7th) for an example does that, she looks a bit Slavic.

West-Baltids/practically unaltered Cro-Magnons are common among Estonians, Swedes, Finns etc. and this type has nothing to do with the Slavs.

east-baltids are Slavic.

[jerney]

Some look German, some look British, some look Spanish etc. They really are a mixed bag

east-baltids are Slavic.

West Baltid is way more common among Balto-Slavics than among Swedes/Scandinavians.

[Germanicus]

They look like the English team.

[jerney]

Mixed? They look French to me. Looking French is the same as looking mixed?!

No, I mean that as a group they don't look that homogenous. One player looks more British, one looks more German, etc.

[Mans not hot]

east-baltids are Slavic.
Not really, Eastbaltids are more common among Estonians than Poles for instance.

[WOOHP]

No, I mean that as a group they don't look that homogenous. One player looks more British, one looks more German, etc.

Ah ok. Strange cause to me, they do look rather homogeneous. All look French, and I think I would have guessed most of them French before anything else, excpet the Iberian looking player mentioned above and these four who to me look like they could be either Dutch, German or English in additional to French ofc.

Looks German or French, or Dutch.

Yes, it would have been a better comparision.

I think it's quite amusing how people still claim that they are atypical and that I cherrypicked them.
You can check for yourself here that I took all the white ones with a French surname:

I guess the French football team attracts atypical, more northern than average looking French women :rolleyes:

If we go by football teams then Italians are mostly blond because of their national team: De Rossi, Abate, Marchisio, Balzaretti, Giaccherini, Diamanti, Marchetti

Most of these above mentioned are not even blonde. Light haired maybe.

I can't see what this has to do with anything. These are the French people representing France. Football, as far as I know is just a regular sport that everyone can play and it doesn't appeal more northern/blonde looking people than brown haired ones.

[WOOHP]

They are typical. They do look French, don't let the bottle blonde ones fool you.

They can't be cherrypicked. I did not pick the more northern looking ones and left out those who look more southern.
This is how the French female squad looks like. Follow this topic, you're supposed to match them with the European team that looks most similar.

[Ouistreham]

That was a hard choice, but I couldn't but answer "England".

Except for one or two individuals, no much resemblance with Germany.

(It always strikes me how different French and German natural blondes are. Actually, the French ones are most often closer to the Danish. Probably did the Germans absorb a considerable Slavic and/or Magyar input from the East, which makes them quite distinctive compared to their Western neighbours).

:picard2:

Are you telling me that blonde Macedonians and blonde Belarusians are similar? Lawls.

[Hevo]

West-Baltids/practically unaltered Cro-Magnons are common among Estonians, Swedes, Finns etc. and this type has nothing to do with the Slavs.

east-baltids are Slavic.

It's the oppposite Karl, West-Baltids are common among Poles while East-baltids are more common in the Baltic states and Finland.

[WOOHP]

:picard2:

By Slavic blood he surely meant Polish or Czech and not Serbian or anything.

Ouistreham: I dunno, I think that they resemble the Germans a bit more. But maybe it's me confusing the Faelid type, which some of the women are influenced by, as being "German".

[Äike]

West Baltid is way more common among Balto-Slavics than among Swedes/Scandinavians.

West-Baltids are non-existent in Eastern-Europe. Eastern-Europe/Balto-Slavs = East-Baltids, just look at all the different anthropological maps or just browse the SNPA and educate yourself.

There's a reason why the term is named "Baltid" because it exists around the Baltic sea. and "EAST"-Baltids are east of it, like in Russia, Belarus and other Balto-Slavic/Eastern-European places.

[Äike]

It's the oppposite Karl, West-Baltids are common among Poles while East-baltids are more common in the Baltic states and Finland.

There are no East-Baltids in Estonia, if we leave out Slavic immigrants. East-Baltids is an Eastern-European thing, because Eastern-Europe is a lot colder because of its continental climate. + Finland with its subarctic climate. But places like Estonia, Southern-Sweden, Denmark, coastal Finland, represent the purest Nordic type, that means, West-Baltids, Nordids, Faelids etc. and all of that bunch.

http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/bilder/denikeren.jpg

http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/bilder/eickrassen.jpg

There are more maps in the SNPA.. But yeah, look for East-Baltids among Eastern-Europeans, not Estonians, Swedes or other Nordics.

The are mostly playing for Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint Germain. There is not a lot of big transfers yet in women's football but that doesn't mean they are actually from these regions.

Laure Boulleau is from Clermont Ferrand (center France), she looks Subnord, i think very common around Lyon maybe with darker hair tone.

Some are a bit atypical but that's probably the bias of women football, where you gonna find kind of rough manly faces.

Le Sommer is a breton surname, very common in Morbihan( the same commune of Jean- Marie Le pen).

Thiney is from Troyes and surnames ends in Ey are common in French- Swiss and the near regions of France borders with Switzerland

They are currently playing against Columbia.

As they are much better (and much less recognized) than their male counterparts let's show them some support!

I also wanted to start a thread on them but upping this one is probably better :)
