How do we fix this shit?
Two major european semi finals and not a french team in sight.
even ukraine were able to make it(shakhtar).
Europe standing:
Spain:4
England:2
Ukraine:1
Germany:1
The European performance of a given league's top teams tells very little about the quality of said league. It could be that French teams just care more about their local competitions than about doing well in CL and EL.

get rid of all those niggers from random former French Colonies and should improve.

That's pretty much the case for every sports apart from rugby.
However, the leagues being weak doesn't mean the national teams are. France is top 4 or top 8 in a hell fucking lot of sports. It's just that the players get the fuck away as soon as they can to get more monies somewhere else.
There's not much money invested in sports by sponsors in France, and the leagues are by far the most strictly controled financialy-wise, unlike most countries where clubs can get away with anything. No way that a situation as pic related could happen in France.

PSG runs away with the league all they care about is the CL.
>>67367499
despite having 1 english team, there will be more french players in finals than english, not to mention the foreigners like krychowiak formed in ligue 1.
so just let our farming league alone, its like comparing our rugby league with the english one. No sense.
breaking news:
lelgue 1 is a feeding league
Question to OP: how many french players in these 8 teams? english players?
>>67369599
This.
Also, the mentality for teams who are playing Europa League is to make their B team play because they have "a real important match" 4 days after against fucking Troyes. They don't give a fuck about these competitions, which makes me mad

Milner, Clyne, Sturridge, Lallana : 4
Gameiro, Rami, Tremoulinas, Nzonzi, Lucas, Griezmann, Varane, Benzema : 8

Stay fat America
France's problem is taxes. That simple.
They produce plenty of talent, have a decent infrastructure for sports and are a decent country to live in, but France chose the path of high taxes on big fortunes which drives off elite football players as well as investors. Hiring an elite player is significantly more costly, because he's only looking at the after-tax income when considering offers.

It's not only taxes, just less qualities in general. Each time a player make 10-15 decent games he moves to a bigger league.
Shit league with 1 good team that always goes out in the quarter finals.
>>67371839
La Liga did this after 12 Games in this season bro...
>>67371839
Then stop spending your shekels on ours players every years and dont give the player of the year award to a Ligue 2 player.
>>67369111
Partly true.
French coaches always say that EL can't be taken seriously since it does not bring enough money and is too tiresome (due to playing East European clubs).
>>67369235
Stop mocking my club habibi
>>67371839
how do you even read this chart

And so on
Germany is SPL tier lmao

There are plenty of billionnaires in France, and don't worry for their taxes, most of them don't even pay more than 15% of their revenues, 20% at best, thanks to shitloads of tax exemptions and legal loopholes. Same for corporations. It's just that they don't want to invest in sports.
You can find a few sugardaddies in rugby, but the needed investments are way lower.
And people just don't want to spend much for sports.
>>67373064
And they're right, it brings not enough image wise and nothing in term of money.
Most investors are non European because they want to be heard of here, no point for an European guy/company to do so.
>>67369111
This.
Ligue 1>>>all.
Just let Liverpool Utd or whatever enjoy their giving 120% effort for the Mickey Mouse cup.
