Croatian national team refused to kneel for BLM

They are another merchantile squad, German Federation tried to recruit Croatian player a month ago and that player has 0% German blood, wasn't born nor raised in Germany and doesn't speak German well.

Well even Croatia and Bulgaria have had Brazilians playing for them...

Don‘t worry, african Players are Starting to choose their Nation of origin and Not the colonisers, you‘re going to See very Strong African and asian Teams Soon.

The only place where that could happen would be in a football related video game.

Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Algeria, Japan, South Korea and Iran all have increasingly competitive national teams.

Our Brazilian Eduardo came to Croatia at age 16, was product of Dinamo Zagreb youth academy, married Croat woman, had half Croat kids and spoke Croatian perfectly. He had no chance to play for Brazil.
Our current team is 100% native as were most Croatian teams before that.

Not strong enough to win a WC though.

The first WC ever was played in 1930, 91 years ago. I bet on my money that it will pass at least 91 more years from now until a team from outside UEFA or CONMEBOL is going to win the WC.

Looking at the 44 names and faces of the German squad according to Wiki, I count 7 who are Black/mixed-race, 3 Turks, 2 Levantines, 1 Afghan and 1 Pole. While 30% of the squad is indeed a lot, to say there are "virtually no ethnic German players" is a gross exaggeration.

Despite that, football is still infinitely more global, competitive and democratic than are rugby and basketball.

Imma become the next German manager only to exclude those 7 + 3 +2 + 1 +1 non Germans from the squad.
