Jamie Carragher believes it would be 'weak' of England and the FA to back down on their commitment for Harry Kane to wear the OneLove captain's armband.
The England team were one of nine to come together in deciding to wear the distinctive OneLove armbands during matches in a bid to support inclusivity and LGBTQ+ rights in Qatar, a country that prohibits same-sex marriage. FIFA have since sought to discourage the move with their own campaign, expecting teams to abide by their new armbands, which will display messages such as "#ProtectChildren" "#ShareTheMeal", "#FootballForSchools" and "#NoDiscrimination".
The FA and FIFA are now in the midst of a row just hours before Gareth Southgate's side kick off their campaign against Iran this afternoon (Monday, November 21), with reports that England may back down from donning the armband after threats that Kane could be instantly booked for entering the field of play with the armband - a move that former Reds captain Carragher thinks would be 'weak'.
