I'm merely echoing what a lot of people have been saying in that why should a corrupt organisation like FIFA have the qualification to dictate to us that our players' wearing of poppies on their shirts is a 'political statement'.
What a load of bollocks... if anything it's MADE political by FIFA stating that! Bunch of tossers, and our FA are just as bad by asking them in the first place! But then they are bunch of spineless idiots at the best of times. Right now they're wishing this 'problem' would just 'go away' like most things that are thrown their way.
The FA should have just ignored FIFA, had the players wear poppies then when FIFA fined them, don't pay it to FIFA, instead give it to Help for Heroes or the British Legion.
And if FIFA banned us from the World Cup over it? So what? We've got nothing to lose as we're shit when we get to any finals, no-one will miss us and, frankly, no-one really wants to watch a World Cup hosted by Russia anyway.
