Haha xD Well you made a big shortcut, black people don't have a better DNA they tend to have one gene (ACTN3) more often than other populations.
If you want to learn more about it :
It only appears that some genes (ACTN3) responsible for alpha-Actinin 3 protein that helps muscles to generate enough energy to contract muscles repetitively.
What Andrez was talking about is the fact that this "sprint" gene seems to be more present in Jamaicans (98%) than in European (82%) althgouh the difference is very small and there are white athletes that do have this gene.
Kenyans even have higher frequency of this gene than Jamaicans, but it doesn't make them better sprinters and many countries from Africa have barely won anything in terms of running (Mauritania, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Togo, Niger, Benin, Mali,Ghana, Gabon, Senegal, Congo, Angola..)
There are no "black are better at running than white" factor proven yet, or at least it is not the ACTN3 gene.
And Marti in case you forgot, I'm still #1 at AC :3

I actually know about the gene as well since im fairly interested in athletics. I just said DNA cuz it was shorter and everyone knows what i mean with it.

Don't understand the hype around benzema, he is so fucking bad.
IMO Germany defence is hella weak and it's gonna be a probelm against the next opponnent.

I wouldn't actually say he's bad, it's just that his play depends a lot on his mood. When he's in good condition he had a great game vision and is an excellent passer/scorer.
He can also shoot pretty accurate but he often looks lazy/nonchalant which is imo a problem for the leader he's supposed to be...
However I agree with you on the fact that Benzema is too hyped up in the french team, he's not the best player at all. Or at least, he's not the reason why France went that far. The mid players (Matuidi, Pogba, Sissoko, Valbuena) and some like Griezmann bring much more to the team than Benzema does (even in terms of intensity & will to try hard for the team)
Too bad that many of our lob passes were "too long" & unprecise, I feel like we were close on some occasions but it was always too messy to end up in a goal. Props to Neuer who did not flinch at all during the game.
