What does the Red Cross beside a username mean?

Just saw it in another thread.

I've just realised even if I go back as far as great-grandparents, none of their countries are in the world cup. Now I understand why I'm rubbish at football and where ds' lack of natural aptitude comes from!

Oh, oh yes it has Sorry everyone, I wasn't sure I'd done it properly.

That's lovely for you Anna.

But the rest of us get stuck with loads of noise - and now the bleeding vuvusela seems to be a permanent fixture - endless repeats. Nowhere to go out to, big screen everywhere spoiling the ambiance.

And conversation grinds to a halt... 'Ooh did you see the footy' ' No!' ' Oh!' silence.....

Fnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! How much longer???

I'm not 100% certain that the US has a team, but since I'm an American, I chose the American flag.

Yep, we have a team. :)

We're not doing too bad, but FIFA's not really a deal over here outside the latino communities.

Ah, stop being a misery Nomama.

I don't follow the football (soccer!!!!!) at all but given that both DH and DS1 are avidly into it I've succumbed and am actually enjoying it!

HayDay - having grown up with football mad everbodies, guessed the next number in the results ticker thingy, lived, breathed and eaten feckin football for the entirety of my childhood, I enjoy the 4 yearly reminder that I no longer have to.

I shall grump and moan about it every single day, even after the Ingerland team drop out (definitely a first round disaster on the cards - hurrah). Why? Cos I can It's no more daft than watching and screaming and shrieking at it!

And there was me thinking it was a sign of the plague!

Well in that case , enjoy your moan!!!!

I'm originally from England but daren't support them, I have a Welsh OH, a half-Welsh DD and very very Welsh ILs so my life wouldn't be worth living (plus I tend to support Wales over England wherever applicable). Also a Spain fan but you can't say that these days without being called a glory hunter (I just love the football they play, been to see a fair few members of their team for Real Madrid :) ), so I've gone for the origin of my name, location of my best ever holiday and where makes the best food

Testing

(although in the actual World Cup, I'd like Spain and England to do well. Not going well at the moment :( )

Whenever i click on 'my mumsnet' nothing happens, I'm assuming there should be a drop down menu? Well its not working for me

Well my team (Scotland) aren't in it so I'm going for Brazil.

Vito, it's in My Profile. There is a link straight to the page on the Site Stuff thread, maybe try that.

I don't particularly care for the football but I like my flag :)

There hasnt been any vuvuzelas at any of the games Ive watched nomama, are you sure you're not watching repeats of the 2010 world cup? Quite grumping and chill out with some , you sound like you need to loosen up!

I wonder if they would give us a flag for those not following the world cup.
Perhaps a skull and cross bones or the Liberian flag.

I have gone for Belgium as I live in Scotland and visibly supporting England is like writing your own suicide own suicide note.

I can't see it on the mobile app
