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

[JustineMumsnet]

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 )

Boffy

[BertieBotts]

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

[QueenOfThorns]

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

[DrankSangriaInThePark]

But I need 3.

The land of my birth, the land of my child's birth and the land I want my ashes scattered in.

Testing...

[DustyCropHopper]

Just testing!

[SmashleyHop]

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

[MardyBra]

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

[WowOoo]

I haven't actually watched a full game yet.

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

[WowOoo]

Try again...

[MaryMungoAndMidgies]

Testing - 3/4 Scottish 1/4 Italian.

[choccyp1g]

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

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

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

[CillaBlacksOrangeBouffant]

has it worked??

[MaryMungoAndMidgies]

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.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Canada too

[AlpacaLypse]

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]

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

[BIWI]

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

[EduCated]

Gone with Bosnia-Herzegovina. Just because

[mummybare]

Ooh fun!
