Yes

Let FIFA make their stand, and let them deal with the negative publicity that comes with it. Force their hand.

Yes - and if he wants to cause a real storm he should get booked again in the 90th minute when the game is won

Yes.

If he wears one on each arm is it two yellows?

Absolutely they should - as a pWelshman, I’ll be very disappointed if Wales cave in.
Perfect way to highlight their stance, by having tv stations worldwide have to explain why players have been booked.

Yes, absolutely.

Of course he should but I have to ask where are the gay footballers? Why is it still not safe for people to come out in the British game?
Marching Out Together are still not fully accepted by huge swathes of the ER crowd.
And why didn't Alex Scott feel confortable enough to nail her colours to the wind when discussing it on MOTD yesterday.
Huge hypocrisy in the game and society.
Surely we need to get our own house in order before making political points abroad.

I expect Tyler to wear it.

I think we all know why.

If any captain gets booked then the trainer should remove the team from the playing field!..

That'll put more pressure on the footballing authorities to defend their teams and competitions the way they're supposed to!..

Yes to wearing it!..

NEW | FA considering caving in to FIFA over One Love arm-band, CEO Mark Bullingham suggests, saying if risk of Harry Kane being booked today for wearing it is real “then we need to look at that, step back & work out if there’s another way we can show our values”


Sounds like they will bottle the armband

I fully expect the FA to bottle it. But what I'd really like to see is the squad double down on it and every single player in the squad, the manager and all the coaches should wear the armband (just without the captain bit!). Just one big middle finger to FIFA.

Are there any parts of the kit that are open to changing? Like can they just put rainbow laces on all their boots without permission?

Confirmed. The FA have backed down.

Who is our least likely to be important person in the squad? Sub them on at like 80 minutes and make them captain with the armband - get the booked and it wont matter and it might make just a big a statement.

Harry Maguire?

I knew the FA would do an Arsenal. They should have backed Kane and their players, but as we saw with Ozil and the Uyghurs, the Club and FA think about money first.

Don't forget the FA tried to bribe Fifa for the World Cup as well but failed.

What if the captain was to wear it, gets booked, does he get booked again for refusing to remove it?..

Perhaps wear an armband saying "FIFA are corrupt" instead. More a statement of fact than a political statement.

One booking per game? How many yellows equals a suspension?

I think if you get booked you'll be told to remove it, on refusing to remove it will get you a second!..

Maybe the fans should show their support and wear the colours, that'd take a lot of controlling and let them incharge on both sides know what the people think!..

Fans that support this don't seem to be turning up in numbers. So that will fail.

Should I do what?



Just get on with the football! That’s what it’s about, not largely ineffective gestures like armbands, wristbands and taking a stupid knee. Has taking a knee stopped the racism etc? Sick of seeing that for the past 2 years.

Play the football, win the games, win the tournament then give a particular hand gesture to FIFA, Infantino and anyone else

Just seen that the Iranian team didn't sing the national anthem in protest. Could be serious repercussions for those 11 players. Can't be as bad as a yellow card, though.
