At the time of the traditional team photo before the match against Japan, this Wednesday, the German players carried their hand in front of their mouth.
The players protested the FIFA ban by the rainbow armband.
Indeed, Germany is one of the nations which had to give up wearing the inclusive “One Love” armband, and the federation leaders regularly aim at FIFA which had threatened them with sanction.
At the time of the traditional team photo, before kick -off, the players carried their hand in front of their mouth. Oliver Bierhoff, director of the German Federation, has already spoken of “censorship” to discuss the attitude of FIFA, which has prohibited the wearing of the Arc-en-Ciel armband.
