France have been a top football country for a long time and FIFA's World Ranking is a huge proof of that. For the last 5 years, the lowest position Les Bleus have ever been is 4th.
Right now France holds the 2nd rank after Argentina thanks to the group of incredible players many of whom trace their ancestry back to Africa.
Here's the list of key France players who could play for the African nation: Upamecano (Guinea-Bissau), Konate (Mali), Mbappe (Cameroon and Algeria), Saliba (Cameroon), Tchouameni (Cameroon), Dembele (Mali and Mauritania), Nkunku (Congo), Camavinga (Congo and Angola).
Now, imagine the current France team without all these players. Here's the lineup.
Thanks to the lineup above, you can see that Les Bleus won't be even half as good without the players with African ancestors.
