I won't be watching. Hope England get stuffed
Then wear it, you cowards. What's more important, avoiding a yellow card or raising awareness of LGBT rights in a demented country full of loonies?
I don’t think we should participate in the world cup at all if this is the case, not at the cost of our morals.
disgusting.
At this point FIFA are just Qatar's puppets. Such a shame
Yes…he should….if straight red ..then so be it ……
Pretty amazing since in last euro competition you were very likely to be in this situation if you didnt want to wear it (talks about getting rid of hungary).
Uefa and fifa morals change pretty quickly.
Why don't you just go the whole hog and wear rainbow laces and rainbow women's knickers. Sick of hearing about this constantly!
I think other countries should wear arm bands in sympathy for the Chagos island people. They lost their islands to England. There's US and UK military bases in these island today in the Indian Ocean .😭🙏
Ban the headscarf too.
First win the world cup then you can speak. The rest of the world doesn't care for your morality by and large.
Get rid of Gareth wokegate and just play football !!!
This hasn't aged well🤣🤣🤣🤣
So much for the promotion of fudge packing and scissoring……a yellow card was all it took. A slogan right there "Show the yellow card to one love".
So stunning so brave
Just play football and don't try push other countries and cultures to follow you, you can do it in your country if you want not somewhere else
If a foreign team wanted to play in the UK with a swastika armband , would we be happy ?
When in Rome …… Or simply stay away ffs !
They should kick him out of the team
👌
If a country doesn't support it why try force it!
How about respecting the diversity of nations who recognise the LGBT issues as contrary to their culture and religion? Isn’t it cultural imperialism to impose Western views on sexuality and gender on other nations?
They should just do their jobs of playing football and focus on trying to win that cup.
It sooooooo satisfying to see those racist arrogant people from the first world get himiliated.
No human rights, no access to free international football!!
England scheming
After tarnishing the English Premier League, now they want to tarnish the World Cup
Sorry LGBTQ community, we will support you but not if it comes at any (and we mean literally any) cost to us – The Western World
After your exit from the tournament, go back to England and ask the British Museum to send back the exhibits to their rightful owners. It's ok even if you don't know why
Leviticus 20.13 I stand by. Shame on UK and Europe. Respect other nations rules and way of life. Vinny in England…
Just wear it already!
They are there for the football not politics.
Kane and Southgate's folded like a cheap deck chair.
will lgbt in food also attack us?
The question is, who will really be the winner of the cup of shame 2022? England?
well done Katar!!!! no geys in this live.
See the list of sponsors behind the athletes. Those are the companies that should know that unless they end their association with FIFA, they will end their association with many consumers.
How can the armband be called one love when its so divisive. If they get to the final will they refuse to play for their principles.
Gareth Southgate's political party already looked great in the England kit. But I guess he'll withdraw from the tournament if they can't wear the armband, given the strength of his convictions?
Just play football and forget this rainbow armband rubbish!!
England should be banned from world cup!
LGBT ruining sports, movies, school education, genders and peoples children.
Planned by goverment to push it into us. Whats next food!
Just play football dude
90% of europeans are ….ts
– Albert Einstein –
🤭
You're not wearing the armband any longer mate 🤣😂
Now u can focus full time on lgbt and not football .😂
