World Cup 2014 - To decorate the house with flags or not?

For previous football tournaments involving England I've always decorated the house with a flag or two. The family has grown and flown the nest but I still like to dress the house.
Is this getting a bit 'last century'?
I still feel like showing support. Do any other lifers still do this?

If I had my own house, I would0

Flags out of front and back bedroom windows for me.
100% support ;-)0 -
I bought one of those flag pole. I will be flying my st georges flag loud and proud, also at night i have a spotlight that digs in the ground and faces up so I light it up....
Oh and if you can't afford a flag pole. Get an extendable decorators pole....works the same!
The ladies love it...

Thought this was a cry for help from a poor soul trapped under a very large thumb whilst a hen pecks away at his lifeless body.
Glad to see that's not the case.
Wickes are doing a great deal on red and white masonry paint. Surprise the wife when she comes back from the shops.3 -
Just asked the Missus about hanging a couple of flags out the front. I might be showing my support some other way ;-)3

England, Spain and Italy flags on mine. That always causes a bit of confusion for the neighbours

Flag up in the window, already starting to see some pop up on the house round me0

I got my England flag across the front of my house. Written across it is '100% support for England, minus Gerrard'.1
-
I would have a flag up but considering I live in a cul de sac that is never busy I see it sort of pointless, best bit of decoration I see every world cup/euro's is a guy by me who paints the england flag onto his garage door that's better than a flag!0

In my opinion there is no better tribute to the whole world cup in Brazil thing than to decorate your lawn appropriately - dig up all the turf but leave a narrow well-strimmed strip down the middle.6

yep - I'll have a flag out0

My house is painted white so most of the flag is in place already.
When we reach the semis I'll rap some red cloth round it and dangle a bit from the gutter.2 -

The mrs and I celebrate each major tournament the same way. I get her hopes up, under-perform, disappoint her three times in a row and then hop on the bus home6

My palace supporting neighbour has just said that he's going to be putting up his palace/England flag.
That's it. Going all out. Flags on all windows!0 -
No choice here, my nippers whack em up - like it0

Usually done by people who didn't give a flying one during qualifying and probably couldn't name our qualifying group and then won't give a monkeys when qualifying starts in Sept.
Or better the people who question why you bother folliwing England around the World then are 100% support come a tournament.
Those who really care will be in Brazil, or sulking that they're not in Brazil.......like me.
Yes...... I've just got out of a 3hr ACCA exam and I'm grumpy.1 -
I think my advice would be to consider how quickly you can get the flags down. If we are losing 3-0 to Costa Rica with 15 minutes to play and facing elimination, you are probably OK if you can get them down before the game ends.0

Yep decorate the whole front
Bunting , flags , that NSS made with the kids names on
Flag on a pole the full works0 -
Flags on the front of a house are far too tacky....
You can't beat having them front and back.0 -
Deffo flags on the house and the motor0

Don't get to carried away

I know I will get shot down for this. But I just think it is a bit Chavtastic.2

Do you think they're showing the England games?0
-
My parents fly a flag all year. I can't be bothered with it myself.0

Hopefully the exams will be done by the time it all starts?The Organiser said:Usually done by people who didn't give a flying one during qualifying and probably couldn't name our qualifying group and then won't give a monkeys when qualifying starts in Sept.
