Dominique Rocheteau
Biography
Dominique Claude Rocheteau (born 14 January 1955) is a French former professional footballer who played as a winger. A French international, he played in three FIFA World Cups, scoring at least one goal in each of them, and was part of the team that won UEFA Euro 1984. At club level, he won four Division 1 titles, three Coupes de France and played in the 1976 European Cup Final.
Born in Saintes, Charente-Maritime, Rocheteau began his professional career with AS Saint-Étienne, when they were the most successful and popular football team in France. He was a sinuous and incisive outside right who was nicknamed l'Ange Vert ("The Green Angel"). Injured, he played only the last eight minutes of the 1976 European Cup Final, which Saint-Étienne lost 1–0 to Bayern Munich. He won three Division 1 titles (1974–1976) and one Coupe de France () with Saint-Étienne. He transferred to Paris Saint-Germain in 1980 with whom he won one Division 1 title (1986) and two Coupes de France (1982–1983). In 1987, he was transferred to Toulouse FC, for whom he played two seasons before retiring in 1989.
Asked in 2012 about his most memorable football moment, Rocheteau cited his 107th-minute decisive goal in the second leg of the 1975–76 European Cup quarter-final against Dynamo Kyiv. Saint-Étienne had lost the first leg 2–0 but won the second leg 3–0 after extra-time. Dynamo Kyiv were the previous year's winners of the 1974–75 European Cup Winners' Cup.
With the France national football team, Rocheteau won 49 caps from 1975 to 1986 and scored 15 goals. He played in three FIFA World Cups, in 1978, 1982 and 1986, and was part of the team that won UEFA Euro 1984 (though Rocheteau missed the final due to injury).
Rocheteau played two matches and scored once at the 1978 World Cup, where France were eliminated in the group stage. Four years later in 1982, he played four matches and scored twice. He started for France in their semi-final defeat against West Germany, and successfully converted his penalty in the shoot-out. In 1986, Rocheteau scored only one goal but made four assists; he played four matches, including the quarter-final against Brazil (he was injured and substituted during that match in extra-time and hence did not partake in the penalty shootout), but did not play in the semi-final against West Germany.
Rocheteau grew up in Étaules, Charente-Maritime where his father and grandfather ran an oyster farm. The business was later taken over by his brother Antony.
After his retirement, Rocheteau shortly became a sports agent, working for David Ginola and Reynald Pedros. In 2002, he became head of the National Ethics Committee of the French Football Federation. He joined the Saint-Étienne staff in 2010, and has since held various management positions in the club.
Away from football, Rocheteau has been noted for his far-left views, and has been associated with the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire and Lutte Ouvrière. In 1995, he played a supporting fictional character in Maurice Pialat's film Le Garçu, starring Gérard Depardieu. He has appeared in a few other movies, TV shows and commercials.

Nick Fuentes
Biography
Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right political commentator, activist and live streamer known for leading the Groypers. He identifies as a Christian nationalist, and a supporter of authoritarianism, while also associating with the incel subculture. He has been described as a neo-Nazi by various sources. His views have been characterized as white supremacist, misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, and denying the Holocaust.
Fuentes was raised in La Grange Park, Illinois, and studied at Lyons Township High School where he embraced far-right conservative views. He began political activism in 2016 and started the episodic live stream America First in 2017. Collaborating with Patrick Casey, a former leader of the neo-Nazi organization Identity Evropa in 2019, Fuentes' followers began to heckle Charlie Kirk and his organization Turning Point USA's Culture War Tour, including a speaking event for Donald Trump Jr. This is referred to as the Groyper War. In 2020, seeking to establish a white supremacist conference to rival the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Fuentes began holding the annual America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC).
In November 2022, Fuentes and the American rapper Kanye West had a private dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The meeting was broadly condemned by American political commentators, with The New York Times describing it as "what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more" for American Jews. In January 2024, Fuentes said he was a "Trump cultist". Fuentes became more critical of Donald Trump that year, partly due to his immigration, foreign affairs, and race policies. In August 2024, Nick Fuentes launched "Groyper War 2", a "digital war" against Trump's presidential campaign involving memes, trolls, and protests to push for more extreme right-wing positions, unsuccessful demands to fire advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, and withholding votes, crediting his efforts for Trump's rehiring of Corey Lewandowski while drawing concerns over potential election interference blueprints due to lax platform enforcement. In 2025, Fuentes said Trump was a "scam artist" due to his comments about the Epstein files.
Fuentes has been involved in a number of controversial events. Fuentes attended the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, and was also an attendee and speaker at events preceding the January 6 United States Capitol attack. Fuentes faced widespread deplatforming from major social media, streaming, and financial services between 2020 and 2023, primarily for violating hate speech policies and inciting violence. In 2023, Fuentes was criticized for allegedly covering for a friend's sexual misconduct with underage boys, reportedly pressuring an accuser to apologize. In November 2024, after his home was doxed, he was arrested for battery for pepper-spraying and pushing an activist, taking her phone. In December 2024, Fuentes survived an apparent assassination attempt at his home by a 24-year-old, who was killed by police after a shootout.
