November 14 – Germany captain Joshua Kimmich says he and his team-mates should not have “expressed political opinions” during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Captains of seven European nations planned to wear ‘OneLove’ armbands symbolising diversity and tolerance during the tournament since homosexuality is illegal in Qatar.
After FIFA threatened sanctions against players who wore the armbands, Germany’s players placed their hands over their mouths during a team photo before their opening-game defeat by Japan.
