“The thing about the flag. I didn’t know that the flag was only held by me, normally I don’t pay attention to whether they are holding it or not and even more so because in the Galaxy stadium there that people are above us they are always holding it. I don’t notice, I just stretch it out and sign. When I decide not to sign the flag, when I pass it, because it’s not that I throw it away, I thought that person was still stopping it and well no “
