I feel like every black guy in Holland is on their soccer team .
Suriname
That game was embarrassing
That game was embarrassing
If this announcer says soccer-roos one more time I’m gonna lose it
Congrats to Argentina but Julian’s America is going to visit Australia and it’s opera houses are wildly superior to anything the third world nation, Argentina has to offer.
The World Cup is more fun if I just opine on which country I like more out of the two in every game I see fly by on the ESPN ticker.

You obviously don’t know your opera houses….
Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires is amaze balls
Mbappe is sick. So so good.
France is clearly flying high off that “Julian summered in Cannes” energy.

Him, griezmann, and giroud are a deadly lineup
At first I thought it was a legit call, but that goalie totally faked that foul and Giroud got robbed of a beautiful bicycle kick goal (the whistle was blown, but he still stuck it)
I thought the pols did a decent job against such a formidable opponent
France for sure is the team to beat here

Well let's just say the racial makeup of the team isn't at all representative of the racial makeup of the country.
Afro-Dutch or Black-Dutch are residents of the Netherlands who are of Sub-Saharan African ancestry. The majority of Afro-Dutch in the continental Netherlands hail from the former and present Dutch overseas territories Suriname and the former Netherlands Antilles; now Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius and Saba. Of the approximately 500,000 Afro-Dutch people, about 300,000 people, or 60%, are from these territories. There is also a sizable population of Cape Verdean, Ghanaian, Nigerian, Somali, Angolan and other African communities of more recent immigrants. The majority of Afro-Dutch people migrated to the Netherlands from the 1970s onwards, most of the recent migrants arriving either as political refugees seeking freedom or, more often, to escape regional conflicts, such as from Eritrea
In July 2021, there were 731,444 people reported to be of African ancestry (4.18%, of a total population of 17,475,415 people).

I think he was responding how Space was using that as the Dutch team should only have 4% of it's team of african decent
Look at the NBA
US population of african decent 13%
the NBA in 2021 was composed of 73.2 percent black players
tho Afro-Dutch is a subgenre in the making
This is true of increasing numbers of European teams. The Dutch were the first to field a more diverse team. The French followed, the English,then the Germans…. The Belge…When you watch World Cup games from the 1970s these teams fielded almost exclusively white teams.
By the way, the same is true of the United States….
The world has changed and at the same time the soccer federation’s know where the talent is….and they try to take advantage of it.

not sure what the inequity is here. It's sports
I think Space is bitter because he didn't make the cut to play on an NBA team.
