    Dominica its friendlier than the other one.


    Albania looks like something from GoT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,186 ✭✭✭littlevillage


    Albania

    A masterpiece. Simple as.

    The other flag is like something you would find in a kids colouring book. Its colours hurt my eyes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,094 ✭✭✭bcklschaps


    Albania.

    Because two headed eagle serpent kicks the pish out of purple/green psychedelic Parrot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,706 ✭✭✭Montage of Feck


    Dominica, the parrot has started to grow on me and I I'm in a good mood.

    🙈🙉🙊

    I like Albania for its flag....but temp in Dominica never drops below 20C on average :D


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    My two favourites :(

    Have to go with my heart, Albanian flag holds a special place.....

    So, Albania


    Love that parrot though.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭Citizenpain


    Dominica, one of only 2 flags that has purple in it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,039 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Albania for me for this one. A dominating colour scheme and design.

    I don't actually like the Albanian flag, but it is striking and so gets my vote

    Its saddening some of the more contentious (what i would consider interesting) flags arent making it through but thats what happens in most votes. Things return to the centre / mean.

    Uganda

    ug-flag.gif

    The three colours are symbolic of different things. Black represents the native ethnic groups of Africa. Africa's sunshine is the yellow, and African brotherhood by red, being the colour of blood which through which all Africans are connected. The grey crowned crane is fabled for its gentle nature and was also the military badge of Ugandan soldiers during British rule. The raised leg of the crane symbolises the forward movement of the country

    VS

    Argentina

    ar-flag.gif

    Originally flown as a war flag, the Argentine banner added the Sun of May which represents the Inca sun god Inte. Debate rumbles on between historians and descendants of the flag’s creator, Manuel Belgrano, as to whether the colour is sky blue or a darker shade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,978 ✭✭✭Citizenpain


    This is tough , but I have to go with Uganda . Argentina is a bit too light a blue


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,706 ✭✭✭Montage of Feck


    Argentina, I was sad when Uruguay went out but Argentina is the next best thing.

    Uganda. Second best flag for an aspiring evil despot.....

    I might have a trend appearing here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Hmm. Argentina has a face, but Uganda has a chicken.


    I'll go Argentina since I will never forgive Uganda for beating the actual best flag out there in Nepal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Argentina
    Because of the sun and vitamin D,
    the pumas, and I love their accent even though they are annoyingly cocky
    Shamefully Toms shoes logo looks like the flag


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Olivia Yellow Selenium


    Uganda - Nowhere else in the observable, or unobservable, universe would the Argentinian flag make it further than the Uruguayan.

    Two great flags, Argentina edges it for me. Nice colour simplicity with the blue, white, blue. Sun in the middle, lovely flag.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Argentina

    Smiley Sun less of a cartoon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,519 ✭✭✭ozzy jr


    Argentina,

    The Uganda flag looks like something I'd expect to see at Warner Brothers Studios.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Argentina is classy. The other one has a chicken.

    Ar-gen-tina!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Argentina.

    Clean, classic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭BrianBoru00


    Argentina.
    Turns out Uganda's chicken isn't a chicken but a crane.
    So Argentina as Uganda's flag has a badly drawn crane that looks like a chicken


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Not a massive fan of either but I think, of the two, Argentina's is just a better looking flag. So I'll go with Argentina in this round.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sunshine > mutant chickens. Argentina, please.

    Yussssss! One of my exes was Albanian and I can confirm her heart was a dark as their flag. Had to go.

    If only there was a flag with a man getting with a football in the groin.

    Uganda

    The Argentine flag is another borefest that inevitably seem to get through to the latter stages of these competitions somehow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,139 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Very difficult but I’ll go with Argentina as my Uruguay substitute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Prefer the Uganda colour scheme. Maybe a darker shade of blue edges it were it present for Argentina. Like the WC kit they had for the 2016 WC.

    Alas...


    UGANDA.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Argentina. Despite the funky chicken, I don't like the actual colours of the Uganda flag.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,633 ✭✭✭✭Buford T. Justice XIX


    Argentina.

    Coz the other flag has a chicken on it. An actual chicken. What self respecting country puts a chicken on their flag when they could put a smiley sun on it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭Uncharted


    The Ugandan flag looks like it was designed by a Nazi Bernard Matthew's.

    It's a pox of a thing.

    The Argie flag is pure meh.


    This is a dull round.


    Begrudgingly,I'll cast a vote for Argentinas flag*.


    *AKA...... a cheap tea towel.

    Uganda is a beauty with the colours and chicken in the middle. Argentina is poor enough, surprised it has made it this far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,994 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    Argentina, just that blue & white scheme just does something to me


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Argentina because they resisted the urge to put a chicken on their flag


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Argentina.

    Uganda's bird is too cartoonish and should not have progressed further than the much classier birds from Kiribati and Papua New Guinea, not to mention Bhutan's dragon and Albania's double headed eagle of doom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,039 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Argentina, the other flag is disgusting. The colours are like something cheap imitation Smarties would come in.

    Two average flags imo, to many lines on the Ugandan flag.

    Argentina gets my vote


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,426 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Uganda.
    The chicken reminds me of the logo from some old fried chicken shop from the 80s.

    Pat Grace's maybe.

    And I love fried chicken


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,191 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Argentina's colour combo and sun swings it for me.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,265 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    The blue and white combo does nothing for me - Argies, Israel, Somalia, Finland...

    Uganda is striking by contrast - so Uganda.

    Quarter Final 4 - Expires @ 15:34
    Eswatini

    wz-flag.gif

    Formerly known as Swaziland, Eswatini boasts quite an unusual national flag. The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of the country. The central focus of the flag is a Nguni shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Eswatini.

    VS

    Marshall Islands

    rm-flag.gif

    This flag features the symbolic representation of the islands' place within the Pacific Ocean. The rising diagonal band represents the equator, the star above representing this Northern Hemisphere archipelago. The white and orange portions of the band represent, respectively, the Ratak Chain ("sunrise") and the Ralik Chain ("sunset"), as well as symbolizing peace and courage. The sun's 24 points represent the number of electoral districts, while the four elongated points represent the principal cultural centers. The flag is also the national flag with the most points on a star, at 24.

    Eswatini

    purely cos I think it would look better flying on a flagpole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Marshall Islands

    Because of that story Leg End made up about it.
