Weird and Wonderful stories from around the World

Here in Oz people definitely display the colours of their footy teams (AFL or rugby - 'footy' refers to different sports in different states), especially around Grand Final time. They certainly know their teams' footy songs better than the national anthem. Most Aussies (myself included) know about this much of our national anthem:

"Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free
*blah blah blah* ...
Advance Australia Fair!

As for flags, well that's just controversial and closely linked to the 'to be or not to be a republic' debate.
