World Cup updates, scores: England-Iran underway to start Day 2 Qatar2022 | FIFAWorldCup
"We can't put our players in a position where they could face sporting sanctions including bookings, so we have asked the captains not to attempt to wear the armbands in FIFA World Cup games," the federations said in a joint statement Monday.
"We were prepared to pay fines that would normally apply to breaches of kit regulations and had a strong commitment to wearing the armband. However, we cannot put our players in the situation where they might be booked or even forced to leave the field of play." FIFA said Monday that all captains are now allowed to wear its"No Discrimination" armbands. The armbands for that campaign, which was not supposed to begin until the quarterfinals, are blue, with the red outline of a heart around a soccer ball and the words"Football Unites the World."England has a history of going into tournaments confident and leaving with its tail between its legs, though, recent success has turned the tides in its favor.
Captain Harry Kane is two goals away from surpassing Wayne Rooney's all-time goalscoring record. Meanwhile, Iran has a quality forward of its own in Mehdi Taremi. The striker, 30, plays in Portugal and has 13 goals in 18 games. How to watch:
