Germany could be in trouble after... not wearing the OneLove armband but covering their mouths during a team photo...
Germany have risked disciplinary action from FIFA after their players covered their mouths during a team photo at the World Cup in a OneLove armband protest.
Flick was referring to the fact that the OneLove group were threatened by FIFA with sporting sanctions – starting with the issuing of yellow cards to their captains – if the rainbow-coloured armbands were worn. The German gesture could prompt disciplinary action from FIFA under Article 11 of its disciplinary code. It states that anyone “using a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature” may be sanctioned. FIFA has yet to comment on what the German team did.
“This gesture has been decided by Germany, but I don’t think that we have to do anything as a Swiss team. We have to just accept the rules and that’s it,” the Arsenal midfielder said. Belgium defender Jan Vertonghen said on Tuesday he felt players were afraid to speak out in Qatar and were being controlled. The Red Devils, who are also part of the OneLove group, kick off their World Cup campaign against Canada on Wednesday night.
