I hate Fifa as much as anyone but unfortunately they are the ones in charge.
    so is the poppy band, more a breach than this and only worth a 20 k fine?

    Oh come on Triz, you're better than that.
    You have just defended FIFA's stance on the poppy. Remembering it it is a statement of humanity remembrance.
    Yet the fine is greater than Argentina's hijacking with a banner, over sovereignty.

    As you well know. FIFA has it's own political agendas, when it suits. In particular trying to force competitions into poor countries, even though it causes suffering monetary wise to populations.
    Pity it can't clean it's own house out, before preaching to anyone.
