The photo on the left shows the last minute official FIFA armband, to be worn by players at the World Cup, revealed the day before the start of the event. The other photos show Harry Kane (England captain) and Gareth Bale (Wales captain) wearing the One Love armband, that was revealed over a month ago.

FIFA have worked in partnership with United Nations agencies to produce different armbands for each round. Messages include #Savetheplanet #nodiscrimination  and #footballunitestheworld, which will be worn in the first round. 

FIFA have instructed all competing nations to wear their armbands but the Football Association and the Football Association of Wales have said the following:

ask the children what they think the response is from the FA and FA of Wales..

"We respect FIFA's request but we are committed to wearing our "One Love" armbands in this World Cup."

- Where is the World Cup being held, why are Harry Kane and Gareth Bale choosing to wear "One love" armbands specifically for this World Cup?

- What do you think FIFA think about the One Love armband, why didn't they just use that one for the official armband?

- Why do you think FIFA only revealed the official armband the day before the event?

- "Football unites the world" is a good slogan, do you think? Is it better than "One Love"? What are the merits of both messages?

- Why do you think FIFA have also chosen messages "Save the planet" and "no discrimination"?

- any other messages they could have chosen?

- Why don't England and Wales just change armbands and wear the official one?

- "We respect FIFA's request but we are committed to wearing our "One Love" armbands in this World Cup." what do you think of this response?

- England and Wales might be fined, do you think their decision to keep the One Love armband is the right decision?

- what can we learn from Harry Kane and Gareth Bale? (some people might say there is nothing we can learn, what do you think?)

- why is this about no outsiders?
