All players with a French surname, taken from the current squad.

Where would they individually fit the best?

Some in Spain, Portugal and some in Great Britain. They do not look like Germans.

Mostly Flanders and the Netherlands. Some in Britain, Spain and Portugal. The tenth one down actually looks very
close to a guy I know in Minho (Braga city).

They as a group share Mediterranean influence which make them look non-German in my eyes, that's why they lean into the other.

Much more Atlantic sharing than Med.

Maybe even. Yes their phenotype is Atlantid (most of them) but Med is somewhat incorporated in Atlantid anyway.

Every one of them could pass in Britain.

I agree with Roys, they don't strike me as Dutch/German looking.

Really? I have a very stereotypical view of Brits so it's kinda surprising.

This squad is diverse.

First row: Benelux, undoubtely
Second row: Iberian peninsula
Third row: (west) Germany
Fourth row: Great Britain (the middle one in the Iberian peninsula as well)

As a compromisse I vote FL and NL.

You've got a point there. I agree.

I think as a group they display a more continental look than british.
They all more or less look like they could be from low countries or germany.
