I've taken down the English flag.........

That my wife put out the front of the house at the start of the Euros

And an Italian flag has gone up over the road, brave sods.

Only a stones throw from a very patriotic english pub,

Only a stones throw from a very patriotic english pub,

That could be taken very literally

very true.

I don't understand some people.
The last world cup there was a German flag hanging outside a house opposite the same pub

And it didn't get burnt down, I thought at least they may have let their tyres down on their car
