Qatar World Cup Group E is an absolute death group, but as two traditional European teams, the performance of the German and Spanish teams is completely different. The German team insisted on doing a small move of "soccer pan-politicization" on the stadium, but was reversed by Japanese team , and there was doubt that they qualify in the group; the Spanish team focused on the game itself and finally swept Costa Rica 7-0, occupying a favorable position in advance.
covered his mouth and took photos. Football politicized and hurt the German team
. In the group photo session before the start of the game, there was a burst of exclamation in the stands at the Halifa Stadium, followed by a loud boo. It turned out that when the German team started taking group photos before the game, they also made the move to cover their mouths with their hands. It is generally believed that this action is used to protest FIFA - FIFA has previously made it clear that if a team captain wears the one love Rainbow Captain armband representing a supportive minority, he will be warned of yellow cards.
Picture description: The German Football Association issued a statement expressing its dissatisfaction with FIFA.
one love means the same kind of love, and the meaning of one love rainbow armband is to express solidarity for marginalized people, including homosexual groups. In the host country of this World Cup, Qatar , homosexuality is illegal, and sexual behavior between men can be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
Different countries and ethnic groups have different customs and cultures, and naturally there are different laws. Politicians in some countries call for respect, but under the guise of multicultural inclusion, they use the World Cup, a platform of global attention, to engage in the trick of "sports pan-politicization".
It is reported that during the World Cup, the whole of Germany was not discussing pure football, but how to protest against the Takar World Cup and FIFA. Even German Vice Premier and Minister of Economy Habek also encouraged German players to "be brave" to wear rainbow armbands on a TV show. German players also frequently commented on this topic before the game, but rarely analyzed their opponents.
When the starter of the German team collectively covered his mouth, German Football Association issued a statement as soon as possible: "We want to use the captain's armband to show our values in the German national team: diversity and mutual respect. We hope to hear our voices with other countries. This is not to make a political statement, but FIFA refuses us to wear armbands, which is equivalent to depriving us of our right to speak, so we stick to our position."
Regrettably, the German team may devote more energy to pan-political expression and may have ignored the technical and tactical research of the Japanese team. As a result, the world champion lost unexpectedly, but the Japanese team focused on football itself and tried their best to slap the distracted German football.
Various criticisms, Qatar is suspected to be "most politicized"
0 The German team made a "pan-politicized" move in the World Cup, which is controversial. It is also regrettable that some Western politicians turn a blind eye to the efforts of host Qatar, and constantly raise so-called "human rights" and other issues to criticize Qatar, and even try to set off a wave of "diplomatic boycott". This World Cup is also known as the "most politicized" World Cup. Before the opening of the World Cup, French President Emmanuel Macron said a fair word: "Sports should not be politicized." Regarding the highly criticized human rights issues, climate, game time, and other social issues in Qatar during the preparations for the World Cup, Macron 's view is: "When deciding to host a large-scale event, such as the World Cup or the Olympics, we must honestly ask ourselves how to deal with these issues."
It is obvious that France is about to hold the 2024 Paris Olympics, and Olympic spirit is faster, higher, stronger and more united. Athens, Greece, is the source of the Olympic spirit, and Paris, France is the starting point of the modern Olympic movement - in the interpretation of the Olympic concept, Macron obviously passed the test. However, Macron's statement also caused criticism from some people, believing that he "has not firm in his position and is politically incorrect."
In fact, as early as the day before the World Cup, FIFA President Infantino revealed his views. He said: "We have learned a lot from some Europeans and Western World . I think we Europeans should apologize for what we have done in the past 3,000 years before giving others moral lessons." Infantino also made it clear that the practice of some Western countries to boycott the Qatar World Cup is a complete double standard.
intensified the tear, soccer sports let politics go
Some European and American football teams tried to continue to "pan-politicize" the World Cup, which was originally a football exchange stage through rainbow armbands. This approach further exacerbated the tear: after the match between the German and Japanese teams, someone in the stands distributed captain's armbands with black patterns on white background. Obviously, this is a strong response from local Qatar organizations to the “rainbow armband”, emphasizing the Qatar government’s laws: homosexuality is illegal here.
Picture says: After the German and Japanese teams, someone issued black armbands in response to the "rainbow armband".
In my opinion, the main business of players is to play football, and on the stadium, you should focus on considering how to contribute a wonderful game to the audience who buy tickets; similarly, players are not politicians, and their political literacy is not mature. Some people encourage players to take sides under the guise of political correctness. Players who compete in the World Cup are facing increasing pressure. They are required to make relevant comments and opinions during the World Cup, otherwise it would be "political incorrect."
Liverpool team coach Klopp spoke out for the players: "The outside world expects players to make political remarks and protests in the World Cup, which is unfair to the players. The decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar is made by others. If you want to criticize, you should criticize those who make the decision."
In my opinion, the Qatar World Cup held in winter for the first time has a very intensive schedule and the players are already very tired. They should be allowed to focus on football itself and participate less in the messy "pan-political" issues. Similarly, fans in many places have not had a good time, and they are counting on watching the exciting World Cup events to relax briefly and let themselves go. Players are the protagonists of the football world, and fans are the wealth of football. When they just want to play football with peace of mind and watch football quietly, why do people always introduce messy political differences into what should have been purely World Cup green field?
There are enough disputes in this world, and the World Cup and Olympic Games originally carry the social responsibility of calling for world peace, uniting all forces, and bridging more differences. Whether it is the rainbow armband or the so-called Qatar human rights issue, anyone can express it on social media, and all politicians can also express their opinions, but most players just want to play the ball well, and most fans are looking forward to exciting games. So, please stay away from football!
