      England stars warned they face ‘unlimited’ disciplinary action if they wear rainbow armband at World Cup by FA chief

      by

      OUTRAGED FA bosses have revealed Fifa threatened England with “unlimited disciplinary action” if players wear rainbow armbands at the World Cup.And that could even have included a points deduction.

      FA chief executive Mark Bullingham is also angry Fifa only told the Three Lions just before they set off for Monday’s World Cup opener with Iran.
      England skipper Harry Kane was upset he was unable to wear the band against Iran or the USA on Friday after hearing the punishment could be worse than a yellow card or a fine.
      And Bullingham says the FA are “frustrated, angry” at the manner of Fifa’s “outrageous” intervention.
      He told ITV Sport: “We have been clear that we wanted to wear it and we were committed.

      “We announced that we would do that in September, we had a lot of meetings with Fifa over that period and on Saturday before the game we felt we’d reached an understanding where we would wear it.
      “We hadn’t got permission but we would face a fine for it. 
      “Unfortunately then on the day of the game they gave us ten minutes notice – two hours before we were due to go to the game… they came here with five officials and they ran us through a scenario where at a minimum anyone wearing the armband would be booked and face disciplinary action on top of that.
      “It was unlimited. They would take disciplinary action against any player that was wearing the armband on top of having a yellow card.”

      He confirmed that could mean a ban for future games.
      Asked to describe Fifa’s behaviour, he said: “The level of feeling is very high. We are frustrated, we’re angry, we thought it was outrageous the way this was handled.
      “That doesn’t move us anywhere we wanted to go.  We wanted to show our support to the community and were not able to do so.”
      Bullingham stressed the FA are sympathetic to the view that England should have defiantly donned rainbow armbands anyway.
      But he added: “We felt that we couldn’t put the players in that position – the World Cup which many of them had dreamt of playing in since they were young – suddenly they may not be able to play a part in it.” More

      ‘We’ll see if they’re laughing in a few weeks’ – Roy Keane offers scathing assessment of England’s World Cup campaign

      by

      ROY KEANE offered a scathing assessment of England’s World Cup chances – and was then told to “cheer up” by his ITV colleagues.The Manchester United legend has already hit the headlines at the tournament in Qatar after his epic row with Graeme Souness earlier this week.

      And the Irish hardman had viewers in stitches again in the build-up to England’s clash with USA after ITV showed footage of the Three Lions squad enjoying their down time after the 6-2 win over Iran.
      It featured his fellow panellist Ian Wright joining the camp for a game of darts.
      Keane was less-than-impressed and, even though he admitted that the mood in the camp was naturally high, that they are ultimately at the World Cup to win it.
      He said: “They’ve had a good start, six goals.

      “They look happy, playing a game of darts, they’re going to be upbeat.

      “We’ll see at the end Roy, we’ll see at the end.”

      And they want a deal done in time for Ronaldo to play at the Club World Cup – and a potential clash with former club Real Madrid.
      The Portugal legend is a free agent after leaving Manchester United.
      And Veja claims Flamengo chiefs are already talking with sponsors over how to finance a potential deal.
      It’s reckoned the samba side want to offer Ronaldo a three-month contract.

      That would allow the ace to play for them at the Club World Cup in February.
      And Ronaldo could then either sign on for the rest of 2023 or choose somewhere else to ply his trade.
      It remains to be seen if the 37-year-old fancies a move to South America though.
      Ronaldo has been strongly linked with a move to boyhood club Sporting Lisbon.

      BBC cameraman ‘denied entry’ to World Cup stadium ahead of England-USA clash by Qatari authorities over watch strap

      by

      QATARI authorities allegedly prevented two BBC journalists from entering the stadium ahead of England’s World Cup clash with the USA over a rainbow-coloured watch strap.Natalie Pirks, a BBC Sports Correspondent, claimed on Twitter she was held up outside the Al Bayt Stadium after security spotted her cameraman was wearing an Apple Watch with a rainbow-coloured strap.

      The reporter shared a picture of her cameraman’s watch, which also had a rainbow-coloured wallpaper on the screen, on her Twitter.
      “Just arrived at the Al Bayt stadium for England’s game and my cameraman, wearing the rainbow-coloured watch strap his son got him, was stopped by security and refused entry,” she wrote.
      “Clearly the message from FIFA is STILL not getting through.”
      LGBTQ+ rights have been under the spotlight in Qatar since the start of the tournament, where homosexuality is illegal.

      Same-sex relationships in the country are punishable by imprisonment or even death.
      Some supporters and members of the media have had items of clothing with rainbow flags confiscated, and ex-Wales women’s captain Laura McAllister was filmed being told to remove her rainbow-coloured bucket hat.
      McAllister, who is gay and a past FIFA Council candidate, said she was told by security she couldn’t wear the hat for Wales’ World Cup opener against the USA.
      She said she then smuggled the hat into the stadium.

      In another farcical scene, the team captains of seven UEFA federations including England performed a U-turn on wearing the One Love armband after FIFA said they risked being booked.
      The issue has become so tense that Qatar have since been forced into issuing an assurance to FIFA that the rainbow flag will “not be prohibited” at stadiums in the World Cup.
      Natalie later confirmed that they had been allowed in after calling a hotline set up for journalists and TV crews having issues getting into stadiums.
      “We are now in,” she wrote. “To their credit the Qataris have set up a hotline for crews experiencing problems, this managed to help us eventually get past security.”
      Clearly the message from FIFA is STILL not getting throughNatalie PirksBBC Sports Correspondent
      Other bizarre scenes have taken place at this World Cup, with reports of Wales fans wearing striped bucket hats in the red, yellow, white, and green colours of the country also being told to take them off after they were mistaken for rainbow colours.
      And Qatari officials seized a Brazilian fan’s flag after wrongly believing it to be the LGBTQ rainbow.
      In shock scenes captured on video, security were seen confiscating the flag of Pernambuco State, because it resembles a rainbow in the colours red, yellow, and green.
      A number of football federations have raised similar issues with FIFA, after being promised before the tournament that it would be an open World Cup.
      The global governing body has now sent a note to federations that the tournament’s organising committee has assured that rainbow items will no longer be confiscated.
      And UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly insisted that Qatar have taken “real steps” to ensure the safety of gay fans attending the World Cup.
      Reports claim that security at stadiums have been given instructions to prevent further so-called “localised incidents”.
      However, Natalie’s experience suggests that the message hasn’t been received at all the stadiums.

      Support was key to performance
      USA were quick to thank their travelling fans for their support against England this evening.
      Whenever they looked to attack, the crowd were on their feet, raising the decibels level in the ground.

      Stars and Stripes jinx continues
      England have failed to beat the USA in three World Cup meetings now.
      Having drawn twice and lose once, they have proved once again to be the Three Lions bogey team.
      England need to put the performance behind them and look to bounce back against Wales on Tuesday.
      From heroes to zeros
      The England team would never have imagined after the elation of their first group game that they would be getting booed off in their second.
      Fans let their stars know what they truly thought of the performance right on the final whistle.
      That makes the task all the more difficult for Gareth Southgate as they now also have to try and win back the fans.

      Learn a new thing every day
      Gareth Southgate needs to ensure that his side grow from the game this evening.
      There will be plenty of other teams that will try and shut England down tactically just as the stars and stripes did today.
      Brushing it off as a good result against a tough team will not put them in good stead the next time they find themselves in the same situation.
      All roads lead to Al-Rayyan
      England will take on Wales at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday, knowing that only a 4-0 defeat would see them not progress to the knockout rounds.
      Meanwhile, USA and Iran will play a last group game more akin to cup tie with the winner making it through to the next round.

      Dest way to hurt England
      Sergino Dest caused constant problems for Gareth Southgate’s side this evening.
      Once he was able to fly down the flanks with more regularity, he started to cause Luke Shaw major issues.
      The Barcelona full back was very busy down the right-hand side all evening.

      Wag o’clock in Al Khor
      Despite the disappointing performance, the England players wind down at the end of the game with their families and partners.
      They will need to refocus for their final group game with Wales on Tuesday.
      Progression from Group B still needs some work.

      USA stop England playing
      So often in tonight’s game, England were having to focus on the attacking threat of the Americans rather than playing their own game.
      Declan Rice epitomises that with his play, as his heat map shows he was busier in areas trying to close down the USA threat than linking play for the Three Lions going forward.

      Anxious moments for Three Lions fans
      England fans could not hide the tension during the game as USA piled on the pressure.
      Eric Dier’s model girlfriend Anna Modler, could not take the pressure at one stage.
      Meanwhile, at BoxPark Wembley, the fans were feeling the tensions as the stars and stripes took the game to the Three Lions.

      Take a sad song and make it better
      Jude Bellingham was unable to pull the strings from the heart of midfield as he did against Iran.
      His bursting box-to-box runs seemed less effective as the USA managed to shut down so many of the key players for England.
      Bellingham struggled to make the same impact on the game with the tactics employed by the stars and stripes.

      Saying what we were thinking
      Aaron Ramsdale’s partner Georgina Irwin found the game much like the rest of us this evening.
      The game evidently did not look any better from the more expensive seats either.
      England’s school report for today would say, must try to apply themselves more.

      Boss happy with result and performance
      The England manager gave his overview on what he thought about the goalless draw with USA:
      We didn’t have that same zip. That will happen, this is tournament football. I am so pleased with how we built from the back. Our two centre-backs controlled the game. Gareth SouthgateEngland manager
      Inside the round – post match analysis
      Sun reporter Jordan Davies from Qatar:
      Frustrated jeers during that second half turned to all-out boos at the full time whistle. 
      Both sides seem pleased with a point, but the fans know that this was a real chance to wrap up the group tonight.
      Instead, another performance is needed for Gareth Southgate’s men versus Wales.
      After the highs of Iran, optimism has been slightly dented.
      Fail to produce against the Welsh and those boos could become even more deafening.
      A lot to ponder for Southgate
      “That was a great clean sheet” were the words ringing out of captain Harry Kane’s mouth in his post-match press conference.
      If we are honest, that clean was mainly sponsored by the woodwork and the poor finishing by the USA.
      With Foden and Alexander-Arnold as unused substitutes, the manager had options when creativity looked so lacking in his team.
      The game today does question whether England actually have a ‘plan B’ for when things are not going their way.

      FT: England 0-0 USA
      Some World Cup games create their own ‘where were you’ moments.
      Where were you when England played USA in the 2022 World Cup?
      Probably in the kitchen making a cup of tea and who could blame you.

      What a difference four days make
      One day, all is well in the world, the birds sing as the sun shines down.
      Then the next, all your tea is in the bottom of a harbour.
      That is just how easily your fortunes can change.
      Even with the additional time VAR has been adding, almost creating an extra half, England still wouldn’t have looked like scoring.
      FT: England 0-0 USA
      The referee puts the England fans out of their misery with the full-time whistle.
      USA would have happily played on for another half an hour.

      90+2. Well, this has not quite been the performance of would-be winners.

      Musah didn’t need to do that at all.
      Chance for England to put a good delivery in.
      England 0-0 USA
      90. If USA had been able to more pinpoint with their crosses tonight, they could have caused England a lot more problems.
      Henderson is the only player running around looking to put any pressure on the stars and stripes when they have the ball.
      He wins a free kick in a wide position.
      Taking a quick free kick, Moore deals with the threat and puts it behind for a corner.
      We are going to have four minutes added.

      England 0-0 USA
      88. Grealish does well as he used the overlap of Shaw to cut inside.
      As he does, he backheels the ball to Rashford.
      Rashford drops the shoulder and cuts inside, looking to bend the ball into the top corner.
      Sadly, he only bends the ball into Turner’s hands.
      England 0-0 USA
      86. The only positive we can take from this drab England performance is that it really makes for a matchday three.
      The group will go down to the last game with all teams having something to play for.
      Pundits are changing their after-show speeches to discuss what a great point this was in the grand scheme of things.
      England 0-0 USA
      84. Weah is replaced by Reyna.
      On comes the son of Claudio Reyna, born in England.
      He was never going to play for anyone other than the USA.
      Grealish wins a foul out in a wide position.
      England 0-0 USA
      82. England are chasing shadows when USA have the ball.
      They need to do better when out of possession.
      It is all too easy for the stars and stripes to retain the ball and come forward.
