Football

I visited West Yorkshire during the World Cup Finals in June 2010, and found flags in support of the English team on cars, houses and pubs.  The team seemed to be well supported, despite its disappointing early performance.

When this photo was taken, England had played one game.
The result was England 1: USA 1.

The team was due to play Algeria the following day.
The result of that match was England 0: Algeria 0.

Update

England subsequently beat Slovenia 1:0, to take 2nd position in their group and go through to Round 2.

However in they were knocked out of the competition in their next game,  when they were beaten 4:1 by Germany on June 27, 2010.
