Strange to think that a few years ago, people would be apprehensive about bringing in youngsters from France because they play "Inferior Football" and aren't of the right quality. However it is now the hotbed of European talent, looking at the likes of Toulouse, Nice and Monaco, just scraping the surface of the talent that France has available...
Will dominate world football for the next decade
Is that really the case though ? France has been producing and exporting footballers and high quality footballers for a long time, more so than most major nations I'd say from the Platini era etc, Papin, Ginola, Cantona, Desailly, Deschamps, Zidane, Trezeguet, Henry, Vieira, Petit, Thuram, Lizarazou, Wiltord, Blanc....etc etc and the last decade or so they export more footballers than any other country I think.
