Germany are out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, following defeat to Japan, a draw with Spain, and a victory against Costa Rica - and, apparently - it is all because of their pre-match protest against FIFA banning them from wearing the OneLove armband.
That is the narrative that is being spun by Qatari officials and journalists, and despite being completely nonsensical, it’s one that a worrying number of people seem to be willing to believe.
So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at Germany’s World Cup protest, why they did it, and why it probably isn’t the reason why they were knocked out in the group stage of a second successive World Cup.
