What a stupid decision

FIFA are at it again.

Sounds fair.

Racist! I didn't like that, so its racist.

FIFA's reason is perfectly justified.

What I don't understand is the Premiership teams do it every year, so why the different rule for an international side? This is England wearing poppies in remembrance of our war veterans, surely nothing wrong with that. Plus it's a friendly, not even a competitive match. Fuck FIFA, poppies have been a symbol for this country for years for remembrance Sunday and they clearly don't understand why we wear them. Come on Sepp, just for one match for fuck sake, not going to harm anyone is it? The poppy is stitched onto the shirt, it's not like the public pinning poppies onto their clothes. I say we should do it anyway. Not as if we want to personalise our shirt for no good reason, some common sense is needed at FIFA.

How can that senile man say that FIFA wouldn't exist if those blokes hadn't existed? The UK could have quite easily come to a peace treaty with Germany if those people hadn't fought, in any case, FIFA is bigger than Europe.

poor decision.
