You can't have a mixed race team and expect the team to be truely cohesive and have a team spirit of trust.

This exactly.

Island didn't have better players, but they were far superior in teamwork and team spirit.

Team spirit is fueled by many things, some not dependent on race or culture, but others are.

To create the perfect team, everything must fit. The player need to be like family, from the same race and culture and forged together by training and experiences.

Also Island had a far superior will to win.

That is because they want fame for their country, which is only possible because they still recognize their country as their home with their people. National pride is only possible in homogeneous nations.

Also Island has a special bond to their fans too, for the same reason as before, because the fans are their extended family, their blood and their pride.

I really hope they beat the crap out of the French.

I was rooting for Island since I watched their first game in this tournament, which is where I realized that all of their names ended with son.
