FIFA will fine Germany how many millions?
There is no official information published by FIFA, however, if we are guided by sanctions that have been made with other teams, such as Mexico, who was fined 175,000 Swiss francs for his homophobic shout. Now, according to some rumors, the sanction against Germany could be at least double, since the scenario is much bigger. About 300 thousand Swiss francs, which is around half a million dollars. However, we still have to wait for the official sanction.
