Former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland captain Roy Keane believes that UK nations England and Wales made grave mistakes, by choosing not to wear the 'One Love' armband after deterring threats from FIFA.
Harry Kane and Gareth Bale, among seven other international captains, initially both planned on wearing the mark of inclusion for their opening World Cup fixtures - in a stand of solidarity towards LGBT+ individuals who are persecuted around the world - including in hosting country Qatar.
However, FIFA intervened shortly before kick-off, stating that any captain sporting the armband would be instantly yellow carded.
