Fans of basketball, baseball, tennis, American football, the annual Lumberjack World Championship – all are God awful when compared to soccer fans.  You won’t see more beautiful women at any sporting event other than the World Cup.  Yes, this is a fact.

The well known cliché goes “…is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”.  I say shooting fish in a barrel is as easy as flagging at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.  Whether looking at flag-painted fans in stands or watching their flag bikinis bounce on TV after their team made a goal, these flagging bullseyes can’t be missed. 

Supporting your national team goes beyond supporting your local team back home.  Local teams purchase and trade foreign players all the time.  Real Madrid’s players aren’t all Spanish:  Cristiano Ronaldo is from Portugal, Kaka is from Brazil, and English David Beckham had a stint with the team a few years back.  Every four years, however, football players put on their country’s uniform and play for their countrymen back home.  Fans feel the same pride when they slap on a T-shirt with their country’s flag and they’re well on their way to cheering their homeland.

I haven’t experienced a World Cup yet; but when I do, I think I might short circuit with so many foreign women around.  It’s too easy to spot who comes from which country because they paint themselves in their country’s colors and wear flag clothing. 

Sports fans aren’t the only ones who wear flagging bullseyes – Canadian backpackers are notorious for sewing their flag into their packs.  A Canadian once told me, it’s so foreigners don’t confuse them with Americans.  Very true.  Americans overseas would never broadcast their nationality for fear of unwanted attention.  So, if you meet someone with a North American accent and they don’t have any flags anywhere to be seen, they’re probably American.  My friend Dr Rim has been known to wear a Swedish flag on his pack, probably to take the piss out of Canadians. 

Don’t forget to wear your flagging bullseyes the next time you’re at an international flagging range.  Someone might snipe you.
