16/1 England Match To Be Called Off In Fifa Poppy Row
16/1 ENGLAND MATCH TO BE CALLED OFF IN FIFA POPPY ROW
Bookmakers William Hill – who are donating profits from their ‘Poppy Shirt’ markets to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal – have lengthened their odds about England playing the game in shirts adorned with poppies, from 7/2 to 9/2 and go 1/8 that they will not do so. ‘It seems unlikely that the FA will go so far as to disobey FIFA as blatantly as permitting the wearing of poppies on the shirts’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
FIFA have also indicated that the referee will have the authority to cancel the game if he is not happy with any aspect of England’s kit, and William Hill now offer 16/1 that the game will not take place, although they are 1/100 for it to go ahead.
