Last night (23rd), there was a cataclysmic result of the Qatar World Cup match between Germany and Japan.
In the midst of this, when the players of the German soccer team took a group photo before the game yesterday, everyone covered their mouths and drew attention.
The German national team players covered their mouths with their right hands while taking a group photo ahead of the first group match against Japan yesterday.
The German media said, "The players' movements seem to be a sign of protest against the ban on the so-called rainbow armband."
The rainbow armband with the number 1 written on a heart filled with rainbow colors represents a protest against Qatar, the host country where various human rights controversies have erupted, and against all discrimination.
Captains from seven European countries, including Germany and England, planned to wear rainbow armbands in this tournament, but eventually gave up wearing them after FIFA warned that if they wore these armbands during the game, they would be sanctioned, such as a yellow card.
A German media kicker said the players appeared to have said to FIFA, 'You can't shut us up'.
