I have just read that FIFA is starting disciplinary proceedings against the Wales FA which includes 'fans wearing poppies ' during the match with Serbia on Nov 12th. It was bad enough them taking action over the players wearing armbands with a poppy on but what right have they to object to the supporters wearing them. How they can say that it is political or religious in the first place I do not know. Someone ought to tell them loud and clear that but for the men and women those poppies represent they would not enjoy their freedom. As for the teams that wore the poppy if I had anything to do with it they would refuse to pay any fine they imposed.
