fifa wont allow poppys on the england shirt

[footycard steve]

those idiots at fifa have decided not to allow england shirts to have poppies emboided on them for the friendly vs spain this weekend,all the premier league teams wore special shirts last weekend as a gesture of respect for the fallen, how pathetic are those fifa muppets?

[zee24]

The government have written a letter to FIFA asking them to change the're minds, lets see if they do......

[zee24]

if it was a smaller International team and the gov got involved they would have been suspended

[Jaffa]

They should just wear it anyway, to hell what fifa say, take the fine or suspension.

Do the right thing for once England, stand up to these nob jockies at Fifa.

Show your pride and wear those poppies on the shirt for the match.

Fifa hate England...in fact most nations hate them so what is their to lose, they may get some friends and backing out of it.

take the suspension you mad? they could be suspended for a major championship, but i do know what you mean even tho i don't care about what England do i would like them to give Blatter the middle finger

No I am deadly serious, Fifa have been ramming it up Englands butthole every chance the get, so what if they throw then out of the Euro's, it would be extreme and unpopular and I dont think they would have the support from other nations so would probably just be a fine or a warning.

Won't matter anyway, Eng don't have the balls to stand up to them and will just bend over and take it.

would be good if all the fans brought poppys to the game and showered the stadium, FIFA cnt tell the fans what to do

Now that is a good idea.

If you mean shower the stadium as in the pitch then yes they can do something.. they will make them somehow play a game behind closed doors.. and they can still fine them for not keeping there fans in touch..

More likely a fine but rather that then that then being banned from a major tournament.

FIFA can change its mind if they want, but coz of all the corruption and England's stance after the whole Blatter situation they will do anything to piss the English off.

At the end of the day marking respect for the fallen and injured troops in all the wars is a tradition which live live on for years in this great land. Tradition n values should come first

"The prospect of causing offence to Germany by wearing poppies against Spain on Saturday is one of the reasons given by FIFA for its rejection of the idea."

well Germany have come out and said they don't object England using Poppies

Yeah typical garbage and double standards from muppets at FIFA. So they dont like politics and religion mixing with sport. Really??. Ask them why ISRAEL are not allowed to play World cup qualifiers in the middle east but have to play in the European groups???? Is ISRAEL really in EUROPE?? Long live the POPPIES...

Couldn't Agree more how on earth Israel is classed as Middle East n Europe is beyond me. They end up in Eurovision, European cup competitions etc but doesn't mean they are European.

By the way there should be a Poppy icon on ere in the smilies

[Wolfpack]

It has to be about money cause i can't see anyone being offended by the English squad wearing the poppies on their shirt. FIFA should stop with the petty things and worry about the officials who were paid off for their votes

[DogdySnigwirter]

What about temp tattoo transfers on all the players arms or legs?
