Typical F.A.

There will be no minute's silence during England's game with Switzerland on the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash, the FA says.
England play Switzerland on 6 February, the date in which 23 people, including eight Manchester United players, died.

"The FA has liaised closely with Manchester United over appropriate arrangements," said an FA spokesman.

"Images of the players will be shown on the screens before the game and England players will wear black armbands."

It's really sad when we recalled about the incident that happened. Some of those players would have might made it to international levels most notably Duncan Edwards. Although I was not born yet when it happened, my father has always told me how great of those people were. The one minute silence is the least that we could do to show our respect.

Yeah. It was such an important event in European football that a minutes silence would be the least they could to show their respect. Soon, no one will even know it happened unless they went out of their way to look for it.
