Closed Commemorate the First World War with a football match between England and Germany on Christmas Day

Closed on

Apparently Her Majesty's Government is struggling to find a 'big event' for the commemoration events for the First World War. We want them to arrange a game of football, between England and Germany, in the Stade de France on Christmas Day 2014 - to commemorate the actions of the men in the battlefield who recognised that their 'enemies' were simply men like them, and that the true enemy were those who led their countries to war.

Let sport unite!
