FIFA's poppy ban is petty and foolish

It seems FIFA, the body we somehow still entrust to run the beautiful game, will now go to almost any lengths to court controversy.

It has now opened disciplinary proceeding against Wales because some of its supporters in the stands wore poppies in the World Cup qualifying game against Serbia.

This was after its ongoing action against England and Scotland for wearing poppies on their armbands during their fixture at Wembley in October.
