This is the first World Cup for a few years where I haven't seen flags flying from cars etc in support of our team in the World Cup.
I know this is a new phase for our national team...a bold move by our new manager to create a new team of young talent. I admire him for doing that...but where is the support?...where are the flags??

i saw a car with flags on it here yesterday. I dont like the flags being displayed at all

[AnnieK]

I think some people are a little worried that they will told to remove them. There were 2 separate stories on my FB feed yesterday of people having those car flags and getting stopped by police and told to remove them. Obviously not sure if they are true but if people read that kind of thing then its like why would they bother?

I love to see the flags in support , it's only for a short time,I have seen a couple from windows but none on cars, it has been dubbed down years ago there was amazing support and atmosphere , now people can't say or do anything without certain people interfering.

They must be anti-English. What other explanation could there be?

[Nicky91]

i think england has a good team, no big names in football but that isn't necessarily important


i wish you guys the best for tonight's match

I think people are fed up of the England team's lack of effort in major competitions, and the poor finishes in these competitions.

I personally have got an England shirt that I'm planning on wearing today, but I can't blame people for feeling disillusioned with the England Football team.

If that story is true then that is the real definition of PC gone mad.

There is nothing wrong with displaying your nation's flag, every country around the world does it so why is it always so controversial for England to do the same thing?

there is nothing wrong with displaying a flag, but on a car it is a distraction that causes accidents. Nothing distracting is allowed on the road.

This seems very odd and I am not sure I believe it, I have noticed the supermarkets aren't stocking the car flags so maybe that might be once of the reasons

Oh I thought that it was in the car not on the car.

I understand the Police's actions alot more now.

I am sorry for the rant earlier.

I'm gonna go do a couple of hours work, and then I'm getting on the ale from lunch time.

That should have been our tournament, but again penalties did us, and Greece ended up winning it.

I have seen a few on cars and vans and all the pubs and quite a lot of the shops have them. But lets be honest enjkand dont progress anywhere in the world cup. So its a faff putting them up and a waste of money plus its embarrassing when they go out of the world cup and you jave to take them down

I never support england i always pick a different country

Last time it was sweden

The time before brazil

This time spain

i cheered so loud for Greece back then

[LeatherTrumpet]

Most pubs up here have the full display of flags out front but it must be that the string that affixes the England ones have been very flimsy as i keep seeing pubs with all flags displayed apart from the England one that must have blown away?

although I have just heard that an estate in South London had a letter from the council banning any flags being displayed, that is all flags not just the England one
