Borat's green mankini was not be allowed to be worn by England fans at their match with Kazakhstan at Wembley Stadium today.

The green thong, which was made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen's character Borat, was banned by Kazakh authorities.

Groups on social networking group Facebook have been set up with members vowing to dress like Borat, sporting the neon green thong, but police have quickly moved to warn supporters.

Metropolitan Police have warned people will be arrested on public decency or public order laws.

A spokesman said: "If a person's actions are likely to cause alarm or distress, officers would act."

Ali G creator has said he will not appear as Borat at the match and sing the Kazakh national anthem.

He had previously sung the country's anthem at a US baseball match in his movie: "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

But he has upset Kazakhs with his portrayal of their country, regularly portraying them as backward people, who enjoy abusing women and the mentally handicapped.

The Kazakhstani national team has also been left furious by the bungling journalist.

Midfielder Ruslan Baltiyev, Kazakhstan's most-capped player has vowed to show England there is more to the country than Borat.


There were some debates however, about which Borat phrases will be used by the commentators during the match.
England beat Kazakhstan 5 -1.
