due to kick off their World Cup campaign against Iran at 13:00 GMT on Monday, it remains unclear whether the Football Association will drop its plans for Kane to wear the armband.
Chief executive Mark Bullingham has told the BBC that the FA is willing to take a fine, but the feeling within the governing body is that the prospect of a booking and suspension has put players in an impossible position.on Monday. "It is important to us, but equally we need to work through all the discussions right now and see where we end up.
"We're very keen to wear the armband, we want to do it, but we need to consider the implications. Normally, in this kind of situation, there'd be a fine and we've said we'd be prepared to pay that, because we think it's important to show our support for inclusion. "If the sporting sanction threat is real then we need to look at that, step back and work out if there's another way in which we can show our values."
Also speaking on the Today programme, Noel Mooney, the Football Association of Wales chief executive, said it was "seeking clarifications" from Fifa.
Football was used as a form of bullying by teachers at my school.. so I have no interest and don’t watch… it’s fascinating that football is more important that medieval laws and judicial murder for loving the wrong person!
I can’t believe the mindless footie fans’ attitude because they might not get their fix… it’s all crap anyway!
I heard they banned tattoos too.
Don’t agree with politics in sport whether it’s BLM or whatever is the flavour of the day. The only way to make a stand though would’ve been to withdraw.
If the ware them they should be arrested they know the laws of the country.
Just shows. Loving everyone as Jesus taught is still such a controversial divisive issue in this World that loves to persecute people!
‘I’m more bothered about Israel’s reaction when they hear Iran is about to use a Sub’
Focus on Football instead!
The only response is for every player of all nine teams that had planned to do this to come onto the pitch wearing the one love arm band. Uefa would back down
They should be kicked out of the tournament if they wear them for disrespecting their hosts. The laws in Qatar are none of our business, if they don’t like the place they shouldn’t have gone.
Woke.
It’s disgraceful propaganda
For goodness sake......keep politics out of sport
I agree with fifa. Leave politics off the pitch.
Shame upon you BBC. Hypocrisy starts with and ends with you 😕😕

Harry Kane could miss England's final World Cup group game as FIFA threaten to book captains wearing OneLove armbandHarry Kane could miss England's final World Cup group game against Wales, as FIFA threaten to book captains who defiantly wear OneLove armbands in support of the LGBTQ+ community. If he was going to be so principled about it he should have given his spot in the squad to someone else This is why I'll be watching the FIFA World Cup. In support of these campaigning footballers. FCK FIFA after all they’re the ones that caused this shit. No racism in sport, no homophobia in sport UNLESS they’re taking backhanders from a country who believe it’s a sin to be yourself and think everything can be bought . HarryKane you are a legend OneLove 🌈🌈🌈🌈
