Sound of Football Podcast 450 - Playing under protest

Players from Norway, Netherlands and Germany have all made their feelings clear by wearing t-shirts drawing attention to the abuse of human rights of migrant workers and citizens in the Gulf state. While these actions have done much to draw attention, will we see protests outside of affluent, liberal countries of northern Europe?
