Seriously? I've little time for that corrupt organisation at the best of time, and this is plain senseless. If England wish to wear poppies and commemorate Armistice Day at Wembley, stick a big middle finger up to Blatter and his corrupt cronies and go ahead - stick them on their boots if they have to, FIFA have no control over that apparently.

The Daily Mail spin on this story was hilarious – Fifa have said we can't wear the poppy in case it upsets the Germans. Now whatever people think about the decision, that's not why it has been made, and anyway, we're playing friendlies against Spain and Sweden – not Germany!

Frankly I'd be much more impressed by all the millionaire posturing if they donated their match fee to the RBL.

Whilst I do like to remember the fallen and have visited war cemetries and cenotaphs, I have always felt that the overt wearing of a poppy as well as paying respects to the fallen (which I like to do) also serves to glorify war publicly. It is for the latter reason that I have always been uncomfortable with it. Far better to remember quietly on your own, IMO (rather like being humble and quiet about giving to charity). I now await the inevitable criticism for being unpatriotic, etc.
I was in London last weekend and was visiting HMS Belfast with some mates and had a poppy on. We got chatting to a young French couple (probably around 20 yrs old), who were also wearing poppies. In the conversation we had, it was brought up the reasons for the poppy and neither myself, friends nor the French couple mantioned the glory of war, just the real reasons, which is the act of rememberance for those who have died on all sides in often pointless wars.
