State Flags on Roster Hello all I put the home state flags next to each member of the World Cup team as an indicator of where in the country they are from This is generally in line with American teams from other sports see also American national men s hockey team and with some other soccer teams see also Canada men s national soccer team which includes provincial flags I am definitely open to opinions on this but I request that if you don t like them or don t think they should be there that you say so here or drop a message on my talk page before you revert them so I know your rationale for doing so Thanks
