Colour me fan!

As the World Cup moves into its quarter-final phase, Jamaicans display their true colours by flying their teams' flags on their vehicles.

And for some, despite an early exit of their teams from the South African games, they continue to show undying support.

"Brazil a my team. So mi nah move di flag till mi feel like," said taxi-operator Stanford Myers. Five-time cup holders Brazil lost 2-1 to the Netherlands last Friday.

"A suh it guh inna football. If you deserve fi lose, you will lose. The better team will win."

Myers proudly displays his 22"x16" flag on the bonnet of his 1997 Toyota Camry. He paid $1,500 for the flag.

Businessman Wayne Fagan, also a diehard Brazilian fan, sports Brazilian flag on the rear windscreen of his 2006 Acura RSX Type S.

Another World Cup car flag-bearer is Peter Dean Higgins. Higgins sports a German flag on the radio antenna of his black and white 1992 Honda Civic.

"A good while me a bring Germany. But a Germany mi have di real love fah still," Higgins said.

Quizzed as to what else he knew about the country he answered: "Nothing ... I just like them football style."
