==Description==
<code><nowiki>{{fb|nation|variant|size=optional|name=optional}}</nowiki></code>

Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked men's national football team article.

'''Parameters'''
*''nation'' – Use either the name of the nation or the [[List of FIFA country codes|three-letter country code as used by FIFA]]
*''variant'' (optional) – Specifies an alternate (historical) flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in [[:Category:Country data templates]].
*''size'' (optional) – Can be used to change the flag icon size (use sparingly!)
*''name'' (optional) – Can be used to change the wikilink display text
*''align'' (optional) – Set to "yes"/"y"/"1" to align country names in vertical lists
*''wrap'' (optional) – Set to "yes"/"y"/"1" to allow line wrapping of the output. The default is to disallow.

==Examples==
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|Argentina}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|Argentina}}
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|Switzerland}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|Switzerland}}
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|ENG}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|ENG}}
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|Italy|1861}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|Italy|1861}}
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|GER|name=GER}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|GER|name=GER}}
*<code><nowiki>{{fb|Spain}}</nowiki></code> → {{fb|Spain}}

==Alternative to avoid Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit==
Pages with many flag icons may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit. To reduce this:
* {{module link|flag|{{#invoke:ustring|lower|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}}} is a wrapper for [[Module:Flagg]] that can reduce sizes when invoked directly. For basic use, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''country''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> can be replaced with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:flag|</nowiki>{{#invoke:ustring|lower|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|''country''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.
