England fan describes 'flag wars' at World Cup
England fans have a tradition of draping their flags around foreign stadiums, emblazoned with the names of their clubs or hometowns
A former RAF serviceman, Mr Green explained how getting his flag into good, visible locations had been like a military operation. "You have to be the first person in the stadium to get a good spot and once you get in, you can't get out," he said."There's a whole army of other people trying to get their flags in a good spot as well so it's like flag wars to get a prime position.
"We ask the press photographers behind the goals to get pictures of our flags for us, so we at least get a decent shot of them.
