While there is a splash of ethnic diversity on virtually every team playing in soccer's 2018 Russia World Cup, many cite the Swiss national team for setting the standard for being multicultural.
Known affectionally by its fans in Switzerland as "the Nati," 14 of the 23 members of the Swiss team were either born outside of Switzerland or are "secondos" -- a word used by the Swiss to denote the offspring of immigrants.
Switzerland is not the only team that came to the World Cup in Russia with a sizable portion of players from the country's migrant or ethnic minority communities.
More than three-quarters of France's team (18 players) are from the country's varied communities of immigrants, while the Belgians have 11 such players, England 10, and Germany six.
But despite having millions of immigrants -- mostly from Central Asian countries Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan but large numbers also from Ukraine and Moldova -- the team representing World Cup host Russia is overwhelmingly made up of ethnic Russians and a few titular nationalities, such as Ossetians, from the country's vast array of ethnic groups.

Judge them by the color of their skin, not the content of their character. The legacy of King is gone
The Russian team is composed of Russians? Oh the horror! </sarc>
Croatia doesn’t have any Africans on their team.
How many white guys did Senegal have?
Gee I thought you hire base on talent not your color .
Not according to left wing media.
Shut this useless left wing media outlet down.
Cold war is over .
Nigeria was all black, why no concern over the ‘diversity’ of the Nigerian team? Same with Iran and many other teams. Or is it only Europeans that need to reflect diversity?
I guess they didn’t see the Japanese team.
But this is a white-guy problem.
I only see a white background behind the letters in that article. I demand reparations.
It’s world cup or soccer, not the world cup of
liberal nonsense.
Maybe American soccer teams have to recruit transgenders, in order to pander to liberal lunatics.
It's okay. The Japanese ain't racist.
They're lacist.
