From Ananova Quirkies:
Baboons steal England flags

A safari park is warning visitors to remove England flags from their cars after a group of baboons began stealing them.

The animals have built up a huge collection of flags in the monkey enclosure at Knowsley safari park in Merseyside.

Keepers at the park say the 120-strong troop of baboons have been known to help themselves to windscreen wipers but have now turned their attentions to the World Cup flags.

I never thought about what you could read into this story! I usually only think of bad monkey behavior when I think of the U.S. president.

It's the old rivalry between germans and english people when it comes to football. ;)
But actually I think this World Cup will change a lot in our relationship in a positive way. So I didn't mean it too seriously.

I don't blame you for being a little nasty toward England. Who gets arrested for football hooliganism 99 percent of the time? That would be the English!

I.R. Baboon! I didn't know that character or the show. My nieces aren't keeping me up to date with all the cartoons. I shall have words with them. :)
