Default Norwegian flags?

I just got finished watching the highlights of the RSL/Rapids game and I saw a section of fans with Norwegian flags at the end. What's the story behind that?

PS-Congrats on the win and good luck in the playoffs.

Default The Rapids are in our Downline

They were probably distributors that sell our sponor's products.

They had a meeting in Salt Lake City and I am pretty sure that they received tickets to the game as part of this meeting.

More info here.

I was at the game, and yea the whole top level was "Xango Nation" There were flags from Japan and Italy that I saw as well... probably more than that I would imagine. It was fun though as they really got into the game themselves.

It's a good thing that they were there, otherwise it would have been a very disappointing turnout considering the gravity of the match.

Is that why I couldnt get tix for the upper deck?? We would have been there if we could have snagged some affordable tickets, but the ticket site was no help there.
