The promo Football Association will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its chief executive Mark Bullingham has said promo
Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against Australia, following attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants earlier this month promo
But he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” promo
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham promo
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them promo
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt promo
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it promo
“It would be easy for promo football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups promo
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of promo football means it will always be in the spotlight promo
And that’s just something we we have to accept promo
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in promo football group over its response promo
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport promo
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did promo
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country promo
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said promo
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia promo
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues promo
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong promo
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth promo
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do promo
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that promo football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict promo
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular promo
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other promo sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations promo
“We were the only promo football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims promo

England’s Joe Root admits doubts over whether ODI cricket remains “relevant” have not gone unnoticed by players at the World Cup in India, with scrutiny increasing over the future of the format promo
The defending champions have been in desperate form at the tournament, losing three of their four matches to leave their semi-final prospects dangling by a thread, but there are wider questions over the 50-over game as the T20 behemoth continues to grow unchecked promo
Barring a few outliers, including a lively crowd for England’s loss to Afghanistan in Delhi, attendances have been well below expectations in a country renowned for its passionate support and the lack of close finishes has contributed to a lack of ‘buzz’ at the competition promo
The PA news agency understands there are early signs of concern at host broadcaster Star promo Sports and The Cricketer has reported that the long-range prospects of the one-day game will be discussed at the International Cricket Council’s next board meeting in November promo
ICC chair Greg Barclay has already said the success of the event can only be judged once it is complete and sources have rebuffed the idea that the format is under threat promo
They cite long-term rights deals that include 50-over World Cups in 2027 and 2031 and record streaming figures of 43million viewers during India’s victory over New Zealand on Sunday promo
In the United Kingdom, Sky promo Sports has a direct agreement with the ICC running for the next eight years, including both of those World Cups promo
But Root, speaking at England’s team hotel in Bengaluru, acknowledged the growing sense of uncertainty promo
“There’s talk of whether this format is relevant any more anyway, in international cricket,” said Root, who helped England win their first World Cup title in 2019 promo
“Whether that gets changed…I don’t know promo
Who knows how things move in the future? Whether it’s domestically or internationally, I don’t think we play enough of it if we’re going to continue to look to compete in World Cups promo
“I think it’s got a huge amount of history and it brings a lot to cricket promo
It will always hold a very special part of my heart for what it’s given me throughout my career, but I think it’s a question that should be posed to the next generation of players, and to everyone watching the game, really promo
“It shouldn’t be down to, ‘is it bringing the most money for the sport?’ It should be down to what people want to watch, and what’s going to engage the next generation of players promo
Because in the long term, I think that’s going to be most beneficial for cricket all-round promo
”There’s talk of whether this format is relevant any more anyway, in international cricketJoe RootThe issue is acute in England, where the legacy of becoming world champions in the format has been a downgrading of the domestic competition to developmental status promo
The Metro Bank One-Day Cup is now contested largely by emerging players and second-teamers due to its clash with The Hundred, meaning the newest faces in Jos Buttler’s side – Harry Brook and Gus Atkinson – have barely played the format and are effectively learning it on a global platform promo
Root is uneasy with that situation and believes if ODI cricket is to continue, radical steps may be necessary promo
The Hundred has significant critics, as a form of the game that is not played anywhere other than England, but Root has put forward the T20 Blast – reliably popular among counties and county members – as a potential sacrifice promo
“It doesn’t make me change my mind about The Hundred promo
It makes me question whether we should be playing more 50-over cricket instead of T20,” he said, before backing away slightly from what is a thorny conundrum with no easy solution promo
“But I don’t want to get into a debate about this promo
I don’t want it to be seen as an excuse (for under performing) because that’s not what we’re about as a team promo
That’s not how I look at things, but I haven’t got any good argument for anything else promo
”While matters of global infrastructure and international scheduling are sure to continue, England have more immediate problems after their unexpected run of adverse results which, thanks to Afghanistan’s shock win over Pakistan on Monday, have left them rock bottom of the table promo
Thursday’s game against Sri Lanka is must-win to uphold any realistic hopes of reaching the knockouts and Root is hoping the do-or-die scenario can kickstart a revival promo
“We’ll look at that as a World Cup final now, then do the same for the game after that and the game after that,” he said promo
“I’ve played in a number of different England teams – good ones and bad ones promo
This is one of the very best; it’s a very together team and we know what we need to do promo
“This white-ball team, over an eight-year period now, likes very simple messaging and has responded very well to it promo
We’ve got some very simple messaging in front of us right now: we have to go out and win promo
In some ways that unshackles us and frees us up to do what we do promo
