Today (Wednesday), the players of the German national team expressed a protest against FIFA when they covered their mouths during the group photo before the opening whistle of the match against Japan, this against the background of FIFA's threats to punish them and captain Manuel Neuer if he wears a captain's armband that includes the colors of pride .
"We wanted to set an example and show our values as a team - diversity and mutual respect. Together with other countries, our message is not political - human rights are not subject to negotiation," the German association said in a statement on Twitter, "this should be self-evident, unfortunately it is not , and that's why the message is so important to us. To boycott the captain's ribbon in the colors of pride is like shutting our mouths."
Also, Neuer went to the match in the end with a black captain's armband, also as a sign of protest against the host and against the world football organization that has recently received endless criticism.
