The English wore their poppy, the Scot's wore their poppy, Shame on the welsh, cowards who backed down to FIFA.?

The poppy is a symbol that has been defamed by the innumerable military campaigns of state-sponsored murder by the English military industrial complex. Just ask Iraq where 1 million innocent people were murdered and indeed, Afghanistan, where the oil and a different type of poppy were appropriated.

So to come on here suggesting we get behind the genocide banner is beyond vile and offensive.

The poppy has NO PLACE in our society, never mind on a football shirt. Well done Wales. Shame on Scotland and England for displaying such a defamed symbol of death and oppression.

I'm reading this a lot if it isn't football it's telly stars and people being outraged on social media...the wearing of the poppy is a personal thing and nobody else's buisness..

If u were poppy watching it means u weren't watching the game..I didn't buy a poppy this year..like many others it was pointless I look around my country and think young men died for nothing..a time piece key would be more appropriate to help them turn in their graves..don't u think?

Broadly agree - and a Shakespearean two fingered salute to the corrupt, crooked shitbags of FIFA. I really think the advanced and not too corrupt world - most of W Europe, N America, Aus, NZ etc etc, ought to secede and set up a rival relatively clean organistion.

Wales didn't help in the war.

Did Wales participate in war?

Muslims are destroying our war memorials so wearing a poppy may get you attacked by these filthy inbred scum.

Why would Wales back down?

Why does it matter?
