did I say something against it? I said their achievements are result of colonialism.

Yeah, but a similar thing could be said about Turkey. A big number of Turkey's population is consisted of people who speak Turkish, feel Turkish but their grandfathers or great grandfathers (especially their great great grandfathers ) were actually islamized Slavs, Greeks or Albanians who were colonized in Turkey.
Don't forget the population exchanges between Turkey and other countries (most of all Greece, and the population exchange in 1923). The people who left Greece weren't only Turkish. They were all muslims but they weren't all Turkish. Many of them were actually islamized Macedonians, Bulgarians etc.

So if we talk about the descent and the "blood argument" we can also say that Turkey's achievements are a result of colonialism and population exchanges.

P.S: I know Hakan Sukur has an Albanian mother. Senturk has Macedonian descent and i'm sure the same could be said about many more.

if we dig great great great grandfathers, everybody is coming from Adam and Hawwa.

but

A team full of African and Basque players won the world cup and French people celebrated it like their own success.that's absurd.

As Jack told you, Turk, It has to do a lot with the timing of the colonizations.
And also, the difference between France and Turkey is so visable because the territories Turkey controled were mostly consisted of white people and the physical differences between an ethnical Turk and ethnical Albanian weren't so obvious as they are between an ethnical French and ethnical Arab or Ivorian.

You see Makelele and since he's black you say "he's not French". Even if, lets say Arda Turan, is an Albanian, you can't notice that just by looking at him.

alan, that was a conspiracy on behalf of france though. 200 years ago they planned to invade north africa, run it to the ground and make it very appealing for makele's family to move to france. that's good planning.

The bond between Turks and those Macedonians,Albanians and Slavs is not just Islam.They have become mixed-up(I can't find a better word ) in hundreds of years.

 

[DiDoz]

Platini is the best, not only becuase he was one of Juve legends on the pitch but also he always praised Juve. although Zidane was Class but somehow he always talk about Real

Yeah, that hurts

 

[delpierofan82]

although Zidane was Class but somehow he always talk about Real

becaue the football style and tactics of Real was much more appropriate for him than ours and it's true

 

[DiDoz]

right, I think he shined more in real more, he played more interesting football, he won the CL, he retired there , while when he was in Juve , his achievements were with France NT

But still, it wouldn't hurt him to speak about us once a year

 

[delpierofan82]

But still, it wouldn't hurt him to speak about us once a year

That's also right

 

[cyril]

I went with pavel based purely on my blind love for him.

 

[Snoop]

I went the same way with Zizou.

 

[Juve_Kosova]

I think its hard for most of us to vote for a player we havent seen play, like Platini.. So I would go for Zidane.. Nedved #2
