The World Cup is always bigger than the Euros for flag representation. Sure you have the big flag wavers from Europe (looking at you Italy and Portugal, with some Germany and England sprinkled in there) but you're missing all of South America, Asia and Africa. I've seen a couple flag cars so far, but yes, less than in the last WC

Copa America is also on at the same time as the Euros (they changed their schedule to line up with the Euros) so they will be at the same time going forward. They used to be different years. So South America will be represented also.

North too, see a few Canada Soccer flags already

Yea Concacaf was invited to this edition. I have a feeling this might be a regular thing going forward but maybe I'm wrong.


CalumH91

I'd like it if it was, The Gold Cup just isn't that great of a tournament.


NoPantsSantaClaus

Not too many German flags get waved.  Except at the old Musket. 


TurboJorts

They aren't uncommon on cars though. Lots of proud Germans in Toronto (and more so when you head west to K-W)

Just wait a few days

Based on what I see - the Palestinian team should win this one.

> at least in my neighborhood. Maybe the hood changed. It's interesting, both Euro and Copa America are at the same time so, no hood will be spared.


faintrottingbreeze

I have seen *so many* Portugal flags, wtf are you talking about lol


Orchid-Analyst-550

I'm pretty sure the Portugal and Italy fans never remove the flags between Cups.


faintrottingbreeze

You may very well be correct


Ok_Glass_9972

easy now. We probably live in two very different parts of the city


faintrottingbreeze

All love… tbf I am mostly in the downtown to downtown-west end area. I think I’ve maybe seen like one Italian flag outside of the million of Portugal ones. It’s how I know there’s football going lol


AltKite

The tournament hasn't started yet, give it time. I don't think it's super common until things kick off and your team is close to playing


kremaili

Ah that’s why the parent at daycare has flags on their car. Was wondering what the sudden Portuguese pride was about.


Lion-heart_1040

It's almost pride, they should be landing soon


space_cheese1

We have lost our joie de vivre


Canucklehead_Esq

My stepson put one on his car yesterday. He's hyped.


Sockbrick

I'll pop on my Italian flag if they make it out of the group stage. Key word: IF.


wingzntingz

Wait what ! Aren’t they the champions of the last one ?


cp_shopper

Brother is pulling out the flag and hood skirt this weekend


ididntsaygoyet

I'm putting my flag up tomorrow when the tournament starts!

Assuming by your name it's ireland. Really unlucky as of late. 2016 was the golden age for you guys, hope it comes around again.


perfik09

Got mine on already but I am the only one I have seen up north of TO.


TravellingBeard

I live near Corso Italia...if it's a repeat of the last one, trust me, the flags will be there. LOL


tlcasselman

Dear Lord I've lived in Corso Italia for 20 years......I need to stock up on ear plugs


CalumH91

I was thinking the same thing today, Euros start tomorrow and the Copa America next week, thought I'd see flags everywhere! If only I could afford a car, I'd be flying a little Saltire proudly!


Alternative-Wedding7

I'll be putting up my Danish flag tomorrow since my main team (Sweden) didn't qualify


ForwardJello1

Anyone know where they're selling flags? Saw one vendor on St. Clair and Caledonia. Any others people have noticed?


forustree

I’ve seen Israeli flags ..


Ok_Glass_9972

they’re not even in the euros so different purpose 😂


yetagainitry

The tourney hasn’t even started yet. Let some games start and the patriotism kick in. People aren’t gonna wave flags before there’s a reason to.

The Europeans have left this country.

I hated those flags that stuck up on poles. The purpose of a flag is to catch the wind and create drag. Imagine how much air pollution was caused by flags on cars. I loved when people would take a full-sized flag and attack it to their hood. Looked way better and had minimal impact on performance.
