How low can football socks go before they break the rules? A Norwegian broadcasting expert has sparked debate by fiercely criticizing players who wear their socks far below the knee during the World Cup. The expert called the trend “the worst thing I see,” arguing that it violates the sport’s uniform guidelines and looks unprofessional. While the rules require socks to cover shin guards up to the knee, many players now roll them down for comfort or style. The issue has divided fans and officials, with some calling for stricter enforcement.
