Netherlands defender and captain Virgil van Dijk returned to the day's theme after the victory over Senegal, namely FIFA's ban on wearing a rainbow flag armband with One Love written in support of the LGBTQ+ community:

"I'm in a position where a yellow card isn't very useful, obviously I support the political statement behind that armband, but in the end I became a footballer to play these types of tournaments. Today the discussion was all about that and it was a annoying, above all because there are people who say we don't have a backbone, but that's not how it works - concludes the Dutchman as reported by VI.nl We want to play football and in the next few days we will see how we can do something in a different way".
