With the Netherlands and Ecuador both coming off 2-0 wins in their openers the meeting at Khalifa International Stadium on Friday carries added significance and Van Gaal does not want his men distracted from the task at hand.The Netherlands were among seven countries ready to wear 'OneLove' armbands during the World Cup in Qatar until FIFA, world soccer's governing body, threatened to book any player wearing them.The 'OneLove' armbands were originally launched in 2020 as part of an inclusiveness campaign by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) which said on Wednesday they were considering legal action against FIFA over their ruling.Germany's players protested against FIFA's decision on Wednesday by covering their mouths before kickoff as a symbolic gesture and then went out and lost 2-1 to Japan.Van Gaal said he did not know if the protest contributed to Germany's shock defeat only that he was not going to take the chance of anything distracting his men against Ecuador."
