Rejected petition England Team To Wear Poppies

More details

If you think that the England football team should wear poppies on their shirts next weekend and defy Fifa please sign this petition.

We may be a small country, but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the Fifa should be prepared for that.
