The English flag is the cross of Saint George - a red cross on a white field. It's recognisable to everyone in the country - even UKIP voters understand what it means. Only football fans are so dumb that they have to have the word "England' written on the flag so they know which country it belongs to. However, they pronounce the word with three syllables, as that makes it easier to chant aggressively while drunk.
I know. I'm being quite unreasonable about this. But soccer during the World cup is inescapable, and the sheer relentless ubiquity of the game drives me up the wall. (I've had to recast that last sentence five or six times, taking out a different swearword each time.)
