I don’t normally do football (or much of any sport to be honest), but this seems to be the latest in a line of FIFA displaying levels of idiocy that could only be described as “monolithinc”. I’m sure I heard before the match concerned that they did not see the poppy as a political emblem and were OK with it being worn.
