England fans expressed their concern that talisman Harry Kane, the captain, could miss some of the World Cup, if he carries out his wish to wear a rainbow coloured armband.
Alex Major, 20, from North London (PIC) said: ‘Good for Harry Kane, but if he gets booked in two games, he’ll be suspended and that’s too much of a price to pay.’
His father, John added. ‘I have been to a lot of world cups. But the excitement of this one is just not the same.
‘I admire Harry Kane for taking a stance. But I wouldn’t be very happy if we ended up missing the match.’
Paul, 68, from Hull, said: ‘If Harry Kane gets himself booked twice, because of the arm band, then I’m afraid I don’t agree with that. It’s about the team and their supporters and trying to win the trophy.’
