Yet only a very small percentage in the US wear a poppy even though they were one of the first adopters of the practice.. The countries where poppies are worn as standard is just UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
As for the rest of the world only 3 million are sent out shared between 120 other countries so that would equate to probably just the ex-pat population..
This is purely a political dummy spitting season, nothing more and nothing less and I applaud Fifa for not giving into political pressure. Lets keep politics out of sport whenever possible.
