Past clashes have been a forum for France\u0027s marginalized migrant communities to vent their frustrations.
Ten of the Tunisia squad at this World Cup are French-born, some of them youth internationals for France before switching allegiance.
Experienced Tunisia striker Wahbi Khazri was born on the French island of Corsica and on the books of Ligue 1 club Montpellier. “I try to represent Tunisia in France every weekend by performing well and I like to represent Corsica too, because I was born there. I carry a lot of flags on my shoulders, it’s nice. I am 100% Tunisian, 100% French and 100% Corsican. I have no embarrassment about that,” he added.
There are around 700,000 Tunisians living in France and Tunisia’s 2008 friendly against France in Paris was watched by many of them who whistled when the French anthem played and jeered every touch of the ball by France substitute Hatem Ben Arfa, who is of Tunisian descent.Article content
