FIFA 2022 World Cup yellow card rules explained amid England OneLove armband threat

If Harry Kane chooses to go against the Football Association's advice he could be booked for wearing a OneLove armband against Iran in England's 2022 World Cup opener in Qatar.

It comes after a statement from the FA said that it advised players "not to attempt to wear the armbands in Fifa World Cup games". FIFA, who had assured the FA of safety for LGBTQ+ supporters, were not willing to back down over the OneLove campaign though.

It has resulted in neither side coming out well, with the FA pulling out of a scheme that was already seen as the bare minimum - though it had been designed for its vagueness so as to not ruffle feathers - and FIFA moving against a campaign aimed at promoting solidarity and inclusiveness.
