Final of the World Cup: multicultural or not – lesson for Germany in the spirit of the team

France becomes world champion with a very heterogeneous selection and difficult debates. On the other side of the final, there is a culturally less diverse team with Croatia. No matter how successful they are, both prove it impressively.

The French and Croatian national teams are all concerned about good football, each in its own way. As much as some people wish, the two teams, which are so different in their composition, would be representatives of a higher political-social system – it does not work. Fortunately.

The World Cup with its grand final game as a worthy finale proves it once again

Contrast between France and Croatia

On the one hand France: players whose parents and grandparents -parents come from Africa or the United Arab, Caribbean or Spanish. On the other side of Croatia: players whose roots are exclusively in the Balkan region. A contrast that has led many, especially in social networks, to qualify a positive option and other problematic, depending on what suits you best during the tournament.

The only statistic shows how absurd it is: in the French 23ers team, two players are not born in their own country – four are Croats. Migration history has many stars on both sides, but in a very different way.

Basically, however, there is real cohesion between highly paid professionals who all share a common goal. They want success for their football country, for people at home, for themselves and for their homeland, which means something different for everyone.

Ethnicities and religions are out of place

does not matter. It only depends on intelligent leadership and unconditional willingness to cooperate, without vanity. So exactly what the German team was missing in the World Cup.

Racism has almost always played a role in the French, already in the 1998 world championship team, whose leaders came largely from former colonies. Since 1965, the 1998 world champions and European champions have slammed in 2002 at the World Cup in group stage, the team has reached the World Cup. -Final, 2010 mutinied then all against the coach and fought each other. Eight years later, France is at the top of the world again. Everyone by far the most expensive team at this World Cup has worked for the other, never for his own show. How France defended in the semifinal 1-0 against Belgium, was perhaps one of the most disciplined and intelligent defensive achievements in the history of the World Cup

Prosecution racist against Deschamps

Didier Deschamps has recently been accused of being racist since he released Karim Benzema from the team after his badtape deal in 2015, his former colleague Eric Cantona l. has publicly approached, and Benzema himself has publicly stated that Deschamps had something against players of North African descent.

Case of Hatem Ben Arfa, who has not played for France for some time. In both cases, Deschamps remained firm, received full support from the badociation's leadership and also received applause from the populist right Front National. It was simply sports success, which would have endangered him, especially Benzema. The Real Madrid striker in 2015 blackmailed his national teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a bad video.

The coach of Croatia, Zlatko Dalic, has a similar uncompromising approach. Nikola Kalinic, one of the best strikers in his country, apparently did not want to make his own substitution in the first match of the World Cup against Nigeria, Dalic sent him home . Better a World Cup with 22 players instead of such a troublemaker. The result was a balanced troupe.

A clear attitude, clear announcements. Meanwhile, the DFB is still pondering how it can redress Erdogan-Zoff's non-management and all subsequent unspeakable speeches.

And most of all, many people who wonder what to do with the origin of their ancestors with the performance of the players could have. The finalists of the World Cup have, hopefully, given a good answer
