Hmm now that I think about it, was there not something about the English FA supporting the displaying of the 3 lions rainbow themed logo on banners etc in support of LGBT inclusion etc......hmmmm if so perhaps it would be nice them if they DID get through and the whole English team decided ( or were TOLD to) to wear that short in the final !
THAT would be one great way of bringing rampant homophobia of the Russian Government to the worlds attention ( even more) as they would no doubt attempt to ban the wearing of the shirt, It would also be a nice way of giving a clear two fingers to the Kremlin and the Russians who support their governments actions against their own LGBT citizens too perhaps.
Only problem there is England really would need to be sure to win the bloody game to ensure no lose of face to the enemy !
