In which countries can this football player pass as native?

is a European with very close eyes, alpine type, seems meso-brachycephalic, clear eyes, pretty dark hair, no hair eccessive: according to the classification that would be French West France for France.
but ethinicity but not nationality

He's odd looking for a Swede but he doesn't really look like French people i've seen, is he not a little bit Eastern?

I quote the regions of France. I have also seen Russian tourists and I traveled to Russia, which is very different depending on the region, people travel more large cities.
if you look on my subject ' find the error ' you will see from native people West-France and of the north to the south, except a person.

You mean like the player can only pass in West France and not in the other parts of the country?

Do you have a pic of a French who might resemble him? The ones i saw weren't that different from Brits to be honest.

I know what you mean, and why you initially guessed Armenian. The eyebrows and eyes, and even the nose to some extent reminded me of the stylized Eastern Orthodox icons, whether Greek or Serbian or Armenian.

It's just that the jaw is all wrong, and the strong eyebrow ridges of the Orthodox icons as well. Most modern Armenians also have a different type of nose.

And I understand why someone said Egyptian...there is a resemblance in the eyes and eyebrows and nose to the Egyptian art of the Roman period as well, but most Egyptians don't look like that today. The people commemorated in those funerary portraits might have been totally Roman for all we know, or at least heavily admixed with Roman and Greek genomes.

So, I think he's European, from somewhere in southern Europe or the southern Balkans.
One of the non-Sicilian actors in this Dolce and Gabbana ad, the one at 1:37, has something of his look, I think.

Beautiful Marco Mengoni does as well, although I would never guess Mengoni as anything other than Italian. His face also seems longer and narrower than the second picture of this athlete.

You can find something of this look in southern France, I think, definitely in terms of overall pigmentation, and you can even find those beautiful, large, lustrous dark eyes, but more rarely I think, and when you do find them, they're often married to either a large, sometimes convex nose, or a too short and blunt one, and the face shape is different...altogether a less gracile vibe to me.

It shows up in Spain as well and that phenotype is closer than the French ones, I think. Alfonso X of Castile has it, but in a coarser form.

And yes, I've been in France often...every time I go to Italy, which is numerous times a year, I wind up going there...it's just a hop and a skip over the border in fact...I often fly to Paris, one of my favorite cities, connect to Marseilles and drive the rest of the way. That, or Milan to Pisa and drive, but that's longer.

I think you made a mistake, i was talking about the blue eyed guy in the original post.
 
I 'm afraid we are speaking here about two men, the post #1 and the post#8 who are quite distinct, are we not???
so the discussion could be without end!
smile!
 
It was my mistake. :confused:

I got thrown off by Eldritch's comment that he thought the young man looked Armenian. I would never have thought the first young man looked Armenian, so I just assumed he was posting about the darker one. (Post #8)

I think I'm experiencing early senility...that, or...well, never mind.:)

It is ok, when i meant Eastern i didn't mean outside Europe boundaries, more like Eastern Europe.
 
the young dark brown man seems to me very on the 'alpine' side (sub)-brachycephaly, low skull, eyebrows type: his nose is a litlle bit long and his inferior jaw is a bit too large (very little) so... very "french" looking - but some Saami have looks very close when brünn-borreby element or mongoloid element are absent - it was remarked yet by old scholars...
