Hear Ye, Hear Ye - you can now support your World cup footie team with a little flag (NOT an avatar, oh no!)

Hello everyone,
ShamTech has built a little thingy over the weekend that means you can now display a teeny flag of the world cup team of your choice by your username when you post, should you wish.

Just go to the my profile page and make your selection.

We'd like to point out that this does not mean any change in policy wrt to avatars, tickers and the like and is by no means the thin end of any wedge.

(I've chosen England for now but reserve the right to switch to Belgium as and when my choice becomes redundant Grin)

Ha, this is fun. I don't like football but I'm having a flag! :)

QueenOfThorns · 16/06/2014 11:33

I think I'll go straight for my second choice team. Saves me changing it when England don't get out of the group stage Grin

But I need 3.

Danke schön!

nice one

Testing...

DustyCropHopper · 16/06/2014 12:46

Just testing!

SmashleyHop · 16/06/2014 12:57

I will swap my flag every time England/USA play.... Saying that what will I choose when we play each other??? Hmmm... Belgium!

MardyBra · 16/06/2014 12:59

Lovely idea but can we have something for those of us who hate football. Maybe a little "I'm drinking Wine instead" logo. Grin

WowOoo · 16/06/2014 13:13

I haven't actually watched a full game yet.

I do love flags, so here's Colombia I hope.

WowOoo · 16/06/2014 13:14

Try again...

MaryMungoAndMidgies · 16/06/2014 13:14

Testing - 3/4 Scottish 1/4 Italian.

choccyp1g · 16/06/2014 13:14

Can we have an 'anyone but England' flag please? Or at least an ironic Welsh flag for the one man team of Gareth Bale?

0dd · 16/06/2014 13:15

I hate football but yet the wee flags make me happy. Grin

I'll choose the team my Ds1 wants to win.

CillaBlacksOrangeBouffant · 16/06/2014 13:15

has it worked??

MaryMungoAndMidgies · 16/06/2014 13:16

Thank you, thank you! Hmm, now if you could arrange for Scotland to actually be in the next World Cup my gratitude would know no bounds. Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 16/06/2014 13:28

Canada too Grin

AlpacaLypse · 16/06/2014 13:37

Oooo it works!

Me (and all my sisters) have decided to remember we're actually half Dutch. Mostly in order to piss off three out of four of our OHs. The fourth is Scottish and is thus cheering on every other team in England's group in the finest tradition of jock football supporters.

BIWI · 16/06/2014 13:37

I suppose I should be supporting my sweepstake team ...

BIWI · 16/06/2014 13:37

(I didn't even know that was what their flag looked like!)

EduCated · 16/06/2014 13:51

Gone with Bosnia-Herzegovina. Just because Grin

mummybare · 16/06/2014 13:51

Ooh fun!
