Narrative:

Upon taxiing off gate in mco, marshaller made some gestures which were not understood by captain or first officer. We were then directed off gate normally. Upon landing and taxi in at fll, nose wheel steering felt different. After stopping at gate, I discovered left nose tire was flat. Marshaller in mco should have had us stop and check tire instead of letting us taxi off gate.
