[Football] England V Iran

[super-seagulls]

Just imagine the meltdown if Ali J scores ...

My 8/1 bet that he will score anytime will ensure he won’t.

But unfair on Kane - FIFA have said there will be game sanctions (ie yellow cards) if they wear them - it’s ridiculous that they can get yellows issued for kit non-compliance, it’s usually a fine. Several European teams involved and they have issued a joint statement.

England and Wales decide not to wear OneLove armband at World Cup after FIFA threat

Fans have voiced their anger after England and Wales said their captains would not wear OneLove armbands at the World Cup in Qatar because they could face an instant yellow card for doing so.

Well done to Alex Scott for overtly wearing it in front of the camera.

Agreed, but let is be honest, she probably won't be on tv anywhere other than here in the UK.
It will make not a jot of difference in the grand scheme of things.
Sad but true.

I don’t think it’s unfair on Kane but my disappointment wasn’t specifically at him even though my post did suggest that. I’m disappointed with all the various captains and various national associations which have all caved in.

Regarding your last point, it will be interesting to see what players do in interviews, Manuel Neuer has a bit of “previous” with this.

Enjoy guys!

Is that some sort of new slogan for the LBGT+ movement?

nothing wrong with Mount , at least starting him would show an attacking intent and lets face it , with slab head and skeletor at cb we need to concentrate on winning 7-3 today........not that im bothered , in the slightest.....at all.

Foden over mount surely?

But yes, concur on the defence

We want to highlight the cause; we don't care about punishments as the message is greater


a yellow card? well we are out of this then

Just dont say anything, its better all round.

BBC ticking all the boxes in the build up. That's alright then.

Better than not ticking all the right boxes, then?
