That's the thing - if you're an immigrant you're from the country you immigrated to. I get that there's some issues, particularly here, with players who are born and raised in country X but play for country Y. But aren't the French roster pretty much all born and raised French, or immigrated to France as young kids? I don't care where your parents are from, if you grew up in France, nobody should be making the claim that you're from somewhere else.
