really they have no place? millions of people died to give us freedom and a poppy doesnt deserve to be in on shirt. that i cant agree with. its symbol of rememberance and not political at all. if you listen to some national anthems they are political yet they allowed

To be fair, millions of people died so bankers could get richer and the freedom thing didn't work out so well in the end. But leaving that aside, if you go sticking stuff on shirts there will be no room for sponsor logos. Have you even stopped to consider that?

Nope they are doing their job. if the Allow this, then what is to stop the Iraq team wearing Sadamm badges if they wanted too etc.

end of the day their is nothing stoping the lads putting a wreath outside the stadium tbh.

There will be enough people wearing poppies in the staduim anyway. as long as the fans wear one thats the main thing.

The funny thing is, Casillas, Alonso and Ramos aside, that's mostly Spain's second-string.

And it's still 456807 times better than any England team ever.

Jessica Alba may be the first choice LB soon though.

They put rules in place and for once stuck to them, why should they break them because england want to wear poppies.

This has nothing to do with the world cup vote nothing at all. as long as the people who it means something too wear poppies thats all that matters.

worls cup :pal: no such tournament

Snorting the badge?

England can wear poppies on their black armbands, apparently.

Yay

What if one of the players didn't want to wear a poopy?

Poppies are a fashion accessory with no meaning.

The Germans are also allowed to wear Swastikas on theirs. And the French are wearing white armbands that can rapidly be converted to flags. It's all on the condition nobody mentions the war.

Pretty much.

Nothing worse than some twat asking why you're not wearing a poppy as if you've committed a sin. I doubt most know why they're wearing one in the first place.

"Wheeled out once a year/a Cenotaph souvenir"

It's become a badge of honour - almost a symbol of glorification!Makes me very uneasy, not least when I hear people say "I bought a poppy today".

Gabon v Brazil is on ITV4

Just kicking off now

Alves
Fabio
Luisao
Luiz
Adriano
Sandro
Elias
Hernanas
Cesar
Jonas
Hulk

What a god awful team

Jonas misses a sitter

Why are they playing in a swimming pool?

0-1 Brazil

Sandro the Spud

Gabon defending :lol:

Apparently the squad is just of European based players. A shame Pato, Kaka and Marcelo are injured. They'd walk in to this team.

Julio Cesar and Lucio as well.

Add Ronaldinho and Neymar from the SA lot and thats a decent team

Two pub teams hacking it around in the mud. Better than usual for an international though.

Gabon hit the bar with a FK

Alves tipped it on to the bar.

Hes awesome in FM

A Must Get

0-2

Hernanes

Keeper unlucky. Not quite Hartesque as it was a difficult shot to save but save it he did but the rebound is headed in

0-2 HT

Decent game. Gabon have given it a go and had a few chances. Brazil are shit these days so couldnt stop these chances.

The goals were nothing special either. Shite defending and a rebound

Practising my chanting for the big, waste of time game.

Boring, boring England!

Fuck off Terry, Fuck off Terry!

6-5, we're gonna win 6-5!

Denmark 1-0 Sweden, Dennis Bendtner. :bow:

RVP starts for Netherlands, FFS. He is bound to be killed by Djourou as he starts for Switzerland.

Greece 0-1 Russia, Shirokov. Arshavin starts.

Are any of these on the box? Wouldn't mind watching Arshavin or RvP.

I don't think so. And likewise.

RVP out for the season yet?
