Fear in the German national team: Manuel Neuer will be punished if he insists on wearing a ribbon with the colors of the pride flag at the World Cup, in protest of the attitude towards LGBT people in Qatar. , but FIFA may impose deterrent sanctions.
The FIFA regulations state that the players are required to appear for games dressed in the official equipment provided to them, and those who deviate from the directive may receive an immediate punishment. According to the "Bild", in Germany they fear that if Neuer takes to the field with a tape that he took independently, FIFA will not be satisfied with just with a financial fine, but also give him a yellow card even before the start of Germany's first game, against Japan (click for the full broadcast schedule).
Will Qatar win this time too?

In the coming days, the German association will hold consultations with senior officials in FIFA and with officials in the England national team, where Harry Kane is considering a step similar to Neuer's, before deciding how to proceed. It will be interesting to see if Qatar will "win" this time, as in the issue of alcohol on the pitches.
