Piers Morgan

British broadcaster and journalist Piers Morgan has been in the spotlight in the past week because of the interview he took with Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Piers Morgan has been vocal about his opinions related to the beautiful sport and has once again shared his thoughts on Qatar overturning the decision of England’s players who wanted to wear the “one-love” armband.

Piers Morgan ranted over FIFA’s decision of preventing the three lions from wearing the armband. This act was seen as a symbol of mutual respect and protest against the human rights that were violated during the making of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

“I’m not gay, but if I was, I’d be furious about this FA armband U-turn. Makes an absolute mockery of the whole ‘we’re going to speak out about human rights in Qatar rather than boycott its stance.” Piers Morgan shared his thoughts ahead of the group-stage match between England and Iran.

Morgan has often been expressive on his social media handles and talks a lot about football and the politics revolving around it. He also gave Cristiano Ronaldo a platform to talk about everything going wrong at Manchester United.

The Englishmen took on Iran in the first match of their group today and gave the fans back at home something to cheer for since their 2020 EURO final loss to Italy.

England cruised past Iran as the match ended 6-2 in England’s favor. The three lions outplayed Iran right from the first half as they scored 3 goals against group opponents even before the first half ended.

Jude Bellingham opened England’s World Cup account by scoring a pin-point header assisted by Luke Shaw. Arsenal star Bukayo Saka had a dream World Cup debut as the winger scored a brace to give England more breathing room. Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish also found themselves on the score sheet.
