A handful of players in the French national team made their feelings about the rise of the extreme right-wing party in France clear over the past month.
Despite concerns, the press conference with coach Deschamps was filled with questions about the team's performance rather than political matters.
Players like Thuram, Mbappe, Kounde, and Konate have been vocal about fighting against the threat of the extreme right in France.
This contrasts with the usual controversy that erupts when athletes mix sports and politics, as seen in the recent lack of discomfort during the press conference.
