Seven European teams earlier this week said they had ditched their plans to wear the OneLove armbands as a result, which were part of an anti-discrimination campaign.We wanted to use our captain’s armband to take a stand for values that we hold in the Germany national team: diversity and mutual respect. Together with other nations, we wanted our voice to be heard," the German team said.
