Re: Fifa tells referee to call off England game if players wear poppies

Maybe Fifa pre-dates the wars and the poppy appeal but the wars dragged in just about every country one way or another even those who were neutral.It wasn't just Europe involved as the wars ranged across the seas as well.Maybe not everyone wears a poppy but I'm damn sure they remember the dead and displaced that were scattered around the world as far as the far east and other non commonwealth countries as well.I don't suppose the US would consider themselves commonwealth or European.

Perhaps a better idea would be to postpone the match until November is over..
