The St. George's Flag. Everyone seems to have one on their car/home. Plenty of national pride here with The World Cup currently taking place. England won today against Trinidad & Tobago 2-0.
I hear many people yelling "Come On England!" I doubt people back home are yelling "Come on USA!" Is The World Cup even broadcast back home?

For the non-Brits who read this blog .....
The United Kingdom does not exist in footalling (that would be soccer) terms. All 4 constituent countries - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales - participate in international competition in their own right. England are the only one of the 4 to have qualifies for the World Cup finals.
Due to the rivalry between the countries, most of Scotland and much of the other countries will have been supporting Trinidad & Tobago and not England.
Forgot to say .... we are getting all the WC games on either ESPN or ABC.
huh? what's the WC? why would we be screaming "go USA". What the hell are you talking about? is there some kind of NFL Europe thing going on? So confused....
(BTW, sat next to Paul Sorvino on a flight from JFK to LA today - he's cool man, you would like him. Alec Baldwin was row behind us. We were all chatty....kind cool...).
Olk - I think Paul and Alec were on the the flight because you were... not the other way around.
Nice, Olk. I met Billy Baldwin once... weird dude.
