In reply to cragtaff:
> What would be better than thousands of England (or Wales, Scotland N.I) fans wearing national team shirts with a huge poppy where the number should be?
1. Thousands of England (or Wales, Scotland N.I) giving a couple quid to the British Legion instead of buying a new replica shirt.
2. The FA giving the proceeds of the match to the British Legion
3. The FA making the Red Cross a charity partner and using the celebrity of its players to educate many on the suffering that war is still visiting on people 70 years after WWII ended
4. A statement by the football family that it doesn't want to use a decent charity as a proxy to promote a xenophobic argument with other FIFA members .
> UP YOURS FIFA!
A fine sentiment with which to promote peace, well done.
