The fa should tell fifa to do one and leave at the first opportunity. Telling us we can't wear a poppy.  Who do they think they are.

Never thought I'd yearn for the good old days of Sepp Blatter.

Guilty, I was at the Northern Ireland match in Belfast and wore a poppy .

Past, don't tell anyone at FIFA but there were lots of English and Scots fans at Wembley wearing poppies and displaying banners with poppies on them.

I hope the FA doesn't back down on this issue like they usually do when FIFA come knocking.

I find it hard to accept that other Nations take offence to the poppy symbol when the German Chancellor attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony in London and when players of all Nations joined in the minutes silence before matches.
Not one of them refused to join in.

About time Football Associations started leaving FIFA. It's the only thing that will resonate with them. Devalue the World Cup no end. F.uckers.

Is the FA really that important to FIFA?I doubt it

To be fair, Wales have been actively boycotting FIFA's summer tournaments since 1958.
