Who cares. He's a French National. How many people in America are actually American?
If he were Algerian, he woudn't be able to play for the FRENCH national team.

If he wasn't French he wouldn't have been able to play!!! He is French from an Algerian origin and he lived all his life in France..

Some are French only by citizenship. Trezeguet, Makelele, Thuram and Thierry Henry are African, but they have a French citizenship and are born in France. I know that Makelele is from Congo and Thierry Henry is from the West Indies. There are two or three white french players in the French team but the majority is of African descent.

If France was to go to war against Algeria Zidane would probably headbutt any Frenchman in sight :-)

Must be a real kick in the teeth to all those French right-wingers to see 9 black players representing their country in the WC final, eh?
hahaha
Thierry Henry - did you see how he got knocked out and came back on..that guy is amazing!

he's not fully algerian. he's algerian french. there's a difference. everyone that plays for the french team is french. it's only right to represent your own nation...

That's not important - thinking in terms like that is why the French muslim youth feel like such outsiders in France - even those who have been living there for their whole lives. "French" isn't determined by their place of birth any more than "American" is.
