I'm not a soccer fan, but this pleased me:

Croatia wins thriller over England, advance to World Cup final

"When the final whistle blew and they knew they were going to their first World Cup final, the Croatians ran to their jumping and cheering fans in their iconic red-and-white checkered jerseys.

"Croatia joined an exclusive club of 13 nations that advanced to a World Cup final, doing it in a tournament where powers Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain made early exits."

Upset? - not at all.

Amused? - sure.

I find it amusing when Australians fly an Australian flag in Australia.

Doesn't upset me in the slightest, though.

Go Croatia!

Well you are flying a flag that has a load of it behind it. Plenty of nationalism. The Australian Flag has nothing on that one.
