Just turned on the TV and saw the end of the U17 World Cup final.

Lots of the England players took their shirts off at the end and they were all wearing something that looked a lot like a sports bra but loose. What’s all that about then??

I'm not 100% sure but I think they may contain things like heart rate monitors, gps trackers, and other diagnostic things.

Well if they’re women then it’d make sense?

yes, they have trackers between the shoulder blades so they can monitor exertion and tailor recovery specifically to output. Sounds flash, but particularly important for younger players to avoid over exertion / injury

to prove it's not a wendyball thing, but proper sports science

What's wrong with men wearing bras?

Don't come on here with your 20th century views on clothes and gender identity.

Next, you'll be complaining about men wearing skirts!

Probably heard the popular idiom "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach".

Are you sure they weren't just wearing string vests?
