Cross Flag

Why is England’s flag look like the Red Cross?

I was looking at the World Cup results and noticed that England is not flying their Blue Red and White stripped flag. What is with that Red Cross Flag? Are they injured or something?

It;s because it is England and not the United Kingdom playing. England’s flag is known as St. George’s Cross

The Union Jack dates from the union of Ireland and Great Britain in 1801. It consists of a blue field with the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England) edged in white superimposed on the diagonal red cross of Saint Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which is superimposed on the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland)
