Just lke 4 years ago we put a big flag out of the front bedroom window on the first day of the finals, we only take it down when the team land in the UK again.

I also have england furry dice in my car and an england beach bag too, really classy with a glitter red cross on it lol (hot stuff)

Tacky! I noticed in Tesco they had plastic masks of the players.........Who is going to wear one of those?

[gazzawazza]

In the past on a question regarding Christmas decorations I've said that tackiness, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However I definitely don't that showing support for England is tacky. I always get into the swing of things (flags and bunting etc.) and always believe (in my heart) that we can win it.

My collection of England support memorabilia is steadily growing in readiness for the tournament in June and July, and incidentally, July the 9th, is also our wedding anniversary so if all goes to plan, this will be a fantastic double celebration! Come on lads!!!

[gazzawazza]

Ahh, Aliceband, you posted as I was writing my answer... now that is tacky!

[halfadaily]

Plastic masks eh Aliceband? Get one of Rooney, it'll come in handy for halloween !

[dot.hawkes]

that's me, tacky!!!!!!!!! Who gives a darn what anyone else thinks, up here in banjo country we do what the heck we like! including supporting our national Football team. ( radical i know)

wouldn't it make more sense if everyone just pooled their money together and bought a referee or two?

[casaespana]

Red and White are just about the tackiest colours you will find anywhere. I am surprised inej has taken up with someone, with such poor taste.

[shammydodger]

The supermarkets can spot mugs a mile away. I'm as patriotic as they come, but don't need a flag/cap/edible underwear to prove it. 3 cases of ale will suffice!

casa it's about the red blood of the British male, plus white for the purity of their girlfriends. If arranged in tonally significant patterns they should bring about Mondrian-like resonances sufficient to heal matatarsals and stuff.

[rescuer]

It would have been better if all these simple people flying the England flag had displayed it on St George's day (23rd April). And how can they call it the England team when not all the players are English and their manager is a foreigner?

I hope the flags have the facility to be lowered to half-mast when England have lost!

[casaespana]

jno. The colours are just not tonally aesthetic, but I must admit Waynes Colleen looks as pure as the driven snow.

[tinkertontom]

tacky

[milly143]

You wouldn't find any of that on my car or house but there's nothing wrong with being a bit patriotic I suppose.

[loopyc]

i have flags on the car and the kids have flags outside there bedroom window i think its great that so many show there support and dont think its tacky to get behind the boys after all we are going to win this year!

[unruliejulie]

I love to support our national team! Its flags on the car and out of the windows for our family!! I love to see the English being patriotic as it gets supressed all too often!!! COME ON ENGLAND!!!!! I don't care if it makes me a chav!!!!! behind our boys all the way!!!

[StGermain]

These things are really tacky and tasteless.

Most of the time, the St George's cross is in completely the wrong proportions. The red bit should be 1 to 5, not 1 to 8.
Secondly, all this tat is made in China.

[unruliejulie]

Its not where its made that counts, its what it represents!!!!
