Will resolve to YES if during the game at the World Cup 2022 any of the players visibly exposes (by gesture, celebration, undershirt) support for LGBT rights and community, in opposition to FIFA's "suggestions" and bans.

@WieDan the question doesn't ask if anyone broke the FIFA guidelines, it asks if anyone manifested support for LGBT during the game. I'm pretty confident that was Neuer's intent in wearing the No Discrimination armband, given the context.
This video might be relevant information to decide if there was or not support for LBTQ+ community, European captains (including Neuer) preferred not to wear a One Love armband (not even a real rainbow flag one) than to receive a yellow card: https://youtu.be/ysIAZNoZU0E
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2022/11/23/germany-players-cover-mouths-protest-fifa-onelove-armband-row/ old, but relevant. They were wearing rainbow boots, apparently during the match. Does this count? surely boots count as much as an undershirt?
@Adam to be fair, I haven't found a definitive reference to them wearing them during the match; the photos here are from the warmup, and the news reporting talks about them wearing them during the warmup mostly.

> Having been checked by the match officials for the OneLove armband, Neuer was still allowed to play with a rainbow pattern on his boots.
@Adam the pattern is on the front of his boots, not visible from behind the goal. struggling to find a picture that can confirm he's wearing it in-game but it looks like it's the same model of boot at least
@Adam here he is prematch with the rainbow boot; compare to the image from behind. clearly the same model, though always possible he had one set with and one without stripes.
@Adam found this still; looks like them to me. So yeah, if rainbow boots count then it should resolve yes, I feel.
@Adam The no descrimination armband is very convincing for positive resolution, so even if it doesn’t happen 👏
@egroj this is the source: https://www.futbolemotion.com/en/buy/football-boot/adidas/copa-sense-.1-fg-core-black-bright-cyan-team-solar-yellow
And here you can see that those are Manuel Neuer's regular season boots: https://www.futbolemotion.com/en/the-goalkeeper-gloves-of/manuel-neuer
So he didn't do anything special, unless you can find something that actually points out that those boots are supposed to be pro-LGBT
certainly much less likely that at the beginning of the tournament but I feel like 20% underrates the odds of someone taking advantage of the fact that the finals (or the awards ceremony afterwards) are extremely high profile and also too late for any consequences to matter for this world cup.
@Adam I guess the text of the question makes the award ceremony too late, to be fair. But yeah, there's no next match to be sanctioned for that matters if you do your protest in a WC final or 3rd place match, whereas all previous matches you're running the risk of being told you can't participate in the next match, should your team win.
@EliGaultney I think if you screen grab that, then it resolves to 'yes'. The question doesn't state that the broadcast has to highlight the support.
