The lyrics to the chant were: “They play for France, but their parents are from Angola. Their mother is from Cameroon, while their father is from Nigeria. But their passport says French.” This is what they're mad about?

🚨The translation of the Rac!st Chant led by the Enzo Fernandez and his Argentine teammates. ''Listen, Everyone now! They play in France, But they are all from Angola. How beautiful to see, They start running... They're Comets (like fûcking transge...nder) Like the gây Mbappe. Her mother is Nigerian, His father is Cameroonian, But in the document: "Nationality: French." The fun fact is that most of these Argentines are of Italian descent😂 Argentina has the second-largest community of Italians outside of Italy, after Brazil.

lmao so to say this but u dey craze !! so was it only him that was singing or is he the person that lead the song? so like this you're Nigerian if someone call you a Nigerian it's a racist? you'll always insult footballers to remember their root but here judging for a truthful chant 😏
You also just acted like ENZO FERNANDES...acting without counting the cost or effect your words may have on others...lack of human feelings that is called Please Go and read the Apologies of ENZO FERNANDES..read his words carefully and see if he didn't see grievous harm done by him by singing the chants and doing the video...I won't insult you because I believe you responded as a Chelsea fan who is carefree about how people feel with your words...it's on the AF App this morning, go and read his apologies.

This incident can be seen as a reflection of euphoria, not just limited to Enzo, but encompassing the entire Argentine team. The mistake he made was posting it on social media without considering the potential consequences. It is important to acknowledge that in moments of excitement, people can sometimes make poor decisions. Therefore, it is unfair to solely blame Enzo as a scapegoat in this situation. This experience should serve as a lesson for him to learn how to control his emotions and be mindful of what he shares on social media. It is worth noting that social media platforms often attract individuals who portray themselves as flawless to gain attention and relevance, even though they may not be perfect in reality.

Can you please stop defending nonsense? He's already apologised which denotes that he accepts that what was said was wrong. So what on earth are you defending?
He will apologize for peace to reign So that’s normal. But we all know there is bit of truth in what his saying . European will say they the best and Copa is shit and deep down majority of Europe countries are full of Africans . Jose too once said Europe should allow players go back to their motherland and let see what remain of them .

I personally will not blame Enzo because I wasn't deliberate,if you have ever be on IG live you would know anything can happen because you're covering a scenario that can probably leads to another (unwanted). In the beginning of his IG live,the song was not in place until few minutes later, immediately he noticed it, he ended it. considering his later action shows it's an error and has came out to publicly apologize. Note: When you're judging, there are many things you take into consideration however I can understand Fofana as well. In the Future,many National teams will find theirselves in the same situation.. Don't forget Laporte of Spain was attacked allegedly by France deschamps for playing for Spain instead of France. why that ? that's because there isn't loyalty anymore while recruiting players.... was that not the same with Ozil, he was subjected to shame by the Germans because he isn't a German, was he defended by any of his teammates? ENZO CAN'T BE BLAME, It's call for FIFA to take measure on how much of foreign players you recruit. Is it not affecting Africa teams as well ? Do you appreciate Rudiger,Mbappe, Memphis coming to their respectful origin (country) for charity or holiday while they represent another country on the international stage ? Hell no.

France should be reminded that it is a country in Europe. Africans should play international football in Africa for their respective countries. Mbappe should be playing for Cameroon.
Who are you to decide for a person? Everyone has his/her own choice to make, the fact those guys chose France to play for doesn't give anyone the right to chant discriminatory shit about them. come on, if it was in your shoes, how will you feel?

Hey ma people this isn't racism but reality.. we as African we are complaining about this for a long time.. why can't our boys come back to play for us. if you don't want to hear anything bad . have a good choice in life is those boys playing for France 🇫🇷 😀
you are right but some African players have made good choice to play for other countries. Check the documentaries about Mbappe and Embolo (Swiss player). Mbappe's father said that his son decided to play for Cameroon but Cameroonian leaders asked for money before taking him. It's the same thing with Embolo. It's the fault of African leaders.

LITTLE ENZO who have achieved nothing worthwhile in Club Football yet. Enzo Fernandes allowing National Football achievements (which he attained with help of the great players in the team) get to his small head. As a Chelsea Fan, if Enzo is seen to be a Racist, Chelsea should sell him fast because we don't want a racist in our team. Even is contributions in Chelsea is yet to be seen & he wasn't missed when injured. With respect to Messi, he may not be perfect but I don't see him to be a racist. It's just Enzo and that their Argentine Goalkeeper that seems so toxic and disrespectful.

Racism or racist. The truth must be told to all African people, they themselves should come to their various countries to develop their country and the continent at large. If all of us keep running away to represent other countries or continent, how do you Africa would grow... Enough is enough pls
You are right but some players made a good choice to play for other countries. Check the documentaries about Mbappe and Embolo. mbappe's father said that his son decided to play for Cameroon but Cameroonian leaders asked for money before taking him and it's the same thing with Embolo. What would you do if you were at their place?

Remember humans are not perfect and it is not Enzo alone have that behavior even in other countries that are fighting against racist now. I don't think Chelsea should him but do a international education against racist even at a club level, I still love him, I am a Jamaican and his color team met should speak to him about what he did is wrong and shier him more love that's one way we can fight against racist. Love your enemy as ourselves.

The point is, what problem does Argentina have with France as far as football is concerned. Argentina won a trophy in a tournament France did not take part in. So why single French international players of African descent to insult racially? I don’t get the connection.

Before you disagree with what someone is saying please try and understand his point. Argentina is the only South American country that doesn’t have black or brown indigenous people. Where are they?

Very true. Argentina is one of the most racist countries in the world. They killed almost all the blacks that were in their country. History never forgets anything.

Argentina racist? absolutely. Most racist history? 😂 lol no. Ever read up history of Germany? They are better now but in thier history there is a failed artist and friends u might know . Italy? Lazio? Spain- what do u think Vini cried in that press conference? bcoz the Spanish audience loved n praised him. Every one of these countries have racism just like Argentina. Just as horrible. I just find the holier than attitude European n Wannabe Europeans show whenever other do it.
