I think the Clairefoutaine National Football Academy was more responsible for France winning WCs and Euros. So if you’re saying does France have a better youth development policy than most European leagues, than yes they do.Indeed. But I think some people fall into treating France like it IS like Scotland and it’s far from it.
For whatever reason, their best players do tend to leave for Spain, Italy and England though, you’re right.
Should point out that Cantona won nowt with France.
As for the league itself, they have won 2 European trophies in its existence (compared to 3 I think for Scotland) so in my opinion it’s a two bit league,
