There is no doubt that soccer is the top sport in the world and has been for decades. In France, soccer is taken very seriously that from a young age children are attending soccer academies for school and continue on there as their skills develop. From the schools, the kids are able to train for soccer several hours a day and then are given the opportunity to tryout for the national teams in France and then eventually they may be given the opportunity to continue their soccer career as a professional player in the European national league. France, being one of the most multicultural nations in the world has the largest African population in Europe. African soccer players are given the opportunity to escape their life of poverty in Africa and attend these academies in France to play soccer. It is a common misconception that due to their genetics and race that African athletes are well above their competition however this is false in most cases because they work hard to get where they are because they see this as potentially the only opportunity for a better life.
