Shall we get an Iraqi flag for Yaser Kasim?
If we had flags for every nationality playing for the Seagulls then no-one would be able to see the pitch, there would just be a sea of multi-coloured fabric waving around the stands. Why not just have a single 'Team Albion' flag, different versions could be written in Spanish and English and Egyptian and Scots gaelic and Norwegian and - oh hang on!
Then the Argentine flag is not necessary! Why not show your love with a giant heart flag?
That's the Leap you have made. Read my post #91 smart-arse.
If your post #91 - which contains an almighty error - covers it, it appears you're saying you hate the Argentinian flag because of what you've unilaterally decided it stands for - i.e. an aggressor against the UK. This conveniently leaves aside every other aspect of what it means to them - their culture, heritage, pride and patriotism. What makes you think that their flag stands only for aggression?

You could avoid the Argie flag controversy by using the flag of his home province (Rio Negro)
Obviously their flag represents more than a Conflict with Britain that is still running, but the fact that it does partly represent such a conflict is enough to stop me waving it just for the sake of a footballer. There is no need to include the flag. The Germans were full of pride and patriotism during the world wars .They also had culture and heritage but I don't think it would have been acceptable to wave their flag before the wars had concluded. Whatever their flag represents, it is only what happened in 1982 that stirs any deep emotion and is relevant to me. Anyway, I know you will bring forth yet another tiresome reply as this forum seem to be an unhealthily large part of your life. Usually I just skip past your posts without reading them as I find you the most boring poster on here, but I didn't realise that you are also an idiot. Unfortunately you caught me off-guard on this thread, enjoy your boooring reply. I'll leave you to it.
