At the World Championship - Qatar football fans respond to Germans.

In yesterday's Group E match between Germany and Spain (1:1), local football fans were spotted in the stands holding images of long-term "Die Mannschaft" defender Mesut Ozil.

Thus, the Qataris tried to show that the Germans are not "saints".

It is said that M. Ozil was not chosen by chance - four years ago, the player of Turkish descent announced his retirement from the German national team due to "racism and disrespect".

Let's remind that before the first World Cup match, the Germans posed in a team photo with covered mouths, protesting against their restricted right to express support for the LGBT+ community.
