« Supporting my team in the World Cup | Main | What can you expect from England fans? »
World Cup finals start here!
Today the streets of London are full of cars flying St. George's flag; I saw literally hundreds on my way to work today (and I am using the term "literally" literally, not just as a run-of-the-mill intensifier). But today I was really looking out for flags representing other countries in the final. Besides England, here's how it broke down (all flag images can be seen at the Flags Of The World website)

3 Trinidad & Tobago
2 Poland (there may have been more; it's hard to distinguish Poland from England at a glance)
1 Ghana
1 USA
1 Australia
1 Brazil
1 Portugal
1 Ivory Coast (This may have been an Irish flag; they look very similar to me: Ireland; Côte dʼIvoire. Definitely orange and not red, so it wasn't Italy).

So there you have it. The flag count metric makes Trinidad & Tobago the clear winner. Place your bets now; at the moment you can get 1000-1 odds. Bet the rent money; this one is a sure thing!

Although I may be a forgiving sort, I'll obviously have to keep a close eye out for any shortfall in forthcoming monthly payments...
