Wtf was happening in spain vs Cabo Verde

I’m not saying that they should be looked at as “white” obviously they aren’t , they are mixed so they are both.

I think the reason (the main one) why we look at them as black is because of the one drop rule , so it’s hard to look at them and think otherwise.

I mean cus every celebrity in a white country that isnt white is seen as their ethnic side more, being native in Europe is like an exclusive group and nationalist ppl (which is like most ppl deep down to some extent) tend to react very much to mixed ppl and full minorities reaching a super high status like footballer in the national team so they just see it as an "invasion of africans"

I think that how mixed the teams are right now is the peak , and the percentages of mixed , ethnics , and euros on the teams won’t change much. Only team I see changing is spain , but I highly doubt that, Spain would have to change their whole football culture and identity for that.

I think southern european teams like portugal, Italy and spain will remain majority white/white

But northern european countries like france, uk, germany, belgium, netherlands etc won't mind being majority mixed or african in their team if it wins them titles

European countries would need to be super diverse though for mixed players to be seen as mixed and not as black like the way brazilian mixed players are just seen as mixed and not black (except for vinicius, but vinicius is black)
