FIFA prevent England from wearing the poppy
Just read that FIFA have prevented England from wearing the poppy on their shirt for this Saturday's friendly against Spain, the FA should just ignore them and allow the team to pay their respects to those who gave their lives for the freedom we're allowed today.

Re: FIFA prevent England from wearing the poppy
It is disgusting to deny any sport/organisation/person the opportunity to show their respect for all the service men & women who have given their lives for their country.
I noticed that the Spurs/Fulham players had special shirts with "Poppies" embroidered on them on Sunday

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

FIFA have done a U turn and the players will now be wearing Poppies on their black arm bands.
What a farce that there was ever an issue!
