World Cup Flags

Down here in London it appears that everyone has gone compleately Flag crazy every car that passes has a flag on it most every House has a flag on it and every item of clothing have flags on them. Its not just England Flags though i've seen a fair number of Polish flags a lot of angolan and Ghanain flags even some Saudi Flags. Basicly every nation currently in the world cup has a representative set of flags somewhere in London. Its quite nice really and goes some way to demonstrating the diversity of london and how we can actually all get along fairly well.

But as with everthing else society seems to have one exception. I have not seen one single USA flag up in london any where. USA actually have quite a good football team and there are quite a number of americains in London. So why no flags Maybey it just not there sport, maybe they dont make the flaghs over here. But i wonder if its somthing else, personally whilst i find it nice and refreshing when all these other nations flags are openly displayed if i saw the stars and stripes my mind would imiediately wander to americain imperiallisam and to the way that the usa's global image is tarnished with the image of dumb stupid americains. now i'm not saying that americains are stupid just that that is what i think of when ai see the stars and stripes. Its a bit like how the right wing bastards have high jacked the Union jack and thus the flag becomes associated with beliefs not worthey of this country, could simmilar be happening with the stars and stripes and therefore it just causes too much hassle for americains to demonstrait a level of support for there national team.
