That would be a great ideaProbably a bit late now, but surely we could have integrated a rainbow into our WC kit design and there would be nothing FIFA could have done?
Are armbands really against kit regulations?

Guaranteed WC2030 Egypt. 2034 north Korea 2038 BelarusAlso playing a country with worse human rights abuses than Qatar!
Potentially, yes.So the captain would get a booking for wearing it?
Looking at the latest new rules from Qatar supporters can be banned from entry if they are wearing anything that references political or discriminatory subjects.So the captain would get a booking for wearing it?
Such a weird vibe around this WC. Not seeing any flags out in the street, hardly anyone really talking about it outside football circles other than complaining about human rights abuses (though I suspect a lot of these are the ones normally complaining there’s too much football during the WC).
Gonna watch all three games today as I’ve adopted Netherlands as my second team this year.
The countries planning to wear the armband were pretty major countries in the competition. They should have just refused to play, what are FIFA going to do then have a chunk of top teams missing?So they flapped it?
Should just get the game abandoned.

Issue is also FIFA isn't a European body it's global. Many of its members in Asia and Africa have little sympathy for rainbow causes.The countries planning to wear the armband were pretty major countries in the competition.

Madness.Re the armband, the FA’s excuse is not to put players in that position. Why not let Kane and the players decide?
I get the risk and inevitable frustration if he were to pick up a second booking. But in my view it’s worth the risk, even if just for the first game to make a statement. And if he gets booked against Iran it’s his own fault.
Shitting it.
Envy those that have decided they don’t care because my anxiety has madder out for this.
COME ON ENGLAND!!
