Re: Fifa tells referee to call off England game if players wear poppies
Quote:
Fifa has been targeted by members of the English Defence League following its decision to prevent England players wearing embroidered poppies on their team shirts for Saturday's friendly against Spain.
Two members of the EDL climbed on to the roof of Fifa's headquarters in Zurich with a banner protesting against the ban. A Fifa spokesman confirmed the protest is ongoing and that Swiss police are in attendance.
The two protesters displayed a banner with two poppies which read: "English Defence League. How dare Fifa disrespect our war dead and wounded. Support our troops."

Morons. I suppose it kind of vindicates FIFA's decision though.
