Italian Iran, Ukraine, pro-gay WC protester released

An Italian who made a pitch invasion during Monday's World Cup 2-0 win for Portugal over Uruguay waving a rainbow LGBT+ flag emblazoned with the word 'peace' and sporting a T-shirt supporting Iranian women and the Ukraine was released from police custody on Monday night saying he had wanted to "make history".
    Mario Ferri said after an hour of Qatari police detention that he had been treated well and visited by FIFA chief Gisnni Infantino who had questioned his choice of stage for his protest saying "why here and not in the Champions League or Serie A, this way you're provoking (the Qatari authorities), now I don't know how to help you, enough, you risk (punishment)".
    Ferri went on: "I apologized, I replied that I get an adrenaline shot out of giving a message for peace, and it was too important to send a pro-Iranian women and pro-Ukraine message too.
    "Qatar is demonized but I have to say I was treated very well, in the hour I was in the police station," Ferri added saying Infantino in the end had recommended his release and his only punishment was a ban from attending other WC matches.
    "I'm free, I was treated well, but wait for it, perhaps we're going to get into the history books," he told reporters.
    Ferri, self-styled 'The Hawk', was blanked by TV coverage as is customary but footage of his protest has gone viral on social media.
