Silver Fox Dear the media
FIFA have not made a U-turn, if they had the England team would be wearing the poppies on their shirts that they requested. What has happened is in fact a compromise, thanks in order of influence to some woman off of BBC Berks, Kerplunk, Wills, the EDL and Dave Cameron.
Sincerely
S. Fox aged 40 and 5 twelfths

TheMaraudingDogJerry St Clair Completely understand FIFA's position on this. If they allow this it would open a whole can of worms. How about Bosnia wearing something commemorating the Srebrenica massacre? Or Rwanda commemorating the 1994 genocide?
I just think it's not up to FIFA to adjudicate on these things and they're quite right to have clear, unambiguous rules and that they stick to them without muddying the waters.
Was going to post something similar but thought against it as everyone would think I'm on a wind up but agreed.

LUX no, but the wars in Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan are still very much in our minds today. Sorry if I forgot any. The proceeds are obviously helping very few WW1 veterans and soon no WWII ones either, but the need remains.

Very true.
Hopefully we'll never see another war where conscription is involved on such a massive scale though.
