By Joseph Nasr BERLIN (Reuters) - German politicians and a top newspaper editor denounced a far-right politician on Friday after she suggested on Twitter that the national soccer team's loss to France was the fault of players with an immigrant background. Beatrix von Storch, a deputy leader of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, wrote on Twitter after France beat Germany 2-0 in the Euro 2016 semi-final: "Maybe next time the German NATIONAL TEAM should play again." Three German players with an immigration background were part of the opening line-up against France on Thursday in Marseille and two more came in as substitutes.
