I'm in a non world cup qualifiying country but cheering for England.
Why this flag and not the Union Jack?

Because the Union Jack is the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain which consists of four constituent entities of which are England, Scotland, Wales together with Northern Ireland. If you combine the flags of England, Scotland and Ireland, it kinda becomes the Union Jack. The St. Georges Cross on the other hand is the national flag of England hence the flag is used to solely represent England. Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland have their own national flags and if all of these countries were to use the Union Jack to represent their independent nation then there I guess there would be some conflict there.

I believe it is because the Union Jack is representative of the United Kingdom, not England.

Because the team represents England alone. The team does not represent Scotland, N. Ireland, or Wales.
