whats the big deal.I m not a French or Algerian .I am an Asian.But I still love Zizou for his football skills and talent.
In football it doesnt matter where you are from or who are you,all that matters in how well u play.In 1998,when France won WC with ZIdanes help, the flags of both these countries where hung side by side.
P.S.Zidane is a French citizen of Algerian origin with Frencg and Algerian passports.

He's a French citizen born to Algerian immigrants. Algeria used to be a French territory until it gained its independence. So he's French. PLUS he didn't grow up in the best of neighborhoods so it's sort of the "rags to riches" story. Everyone loves the human interest aspect of a kid that didn't have much getting a soccer ball and playing for hours in an alley.

Zidane was born in Marseilles, he is as French as a croissant, and he is a hero around the world, in France and in the hearts of so many. Zidane is indescribable, he is just magnificence, no more questions like this about him please, okay?!

he was born in France, and therefore, he is French. That's like asking why does people like Patrick Vieria when he is not even French, he is from Senegal. Sorry man to diss you, but this is such a stupid question.

He has to be a citizen of the country that he plays for, and he's a French citizen.

ZIDANE IS THE MOST POPULAR PERSON IN FRANCE ACCORDING TO A RECENT POLL. 49% VOTED FOR HIM!!!
THAT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM MORE FRENCH THAN ANYTHING ELSE

Because he PLAYS for France?
There are a lot of baseball players who aren't American but they play for American teams and we love them. Stop being such a nationalist.
