Marshall Islands and Dominica are similar.
Might lead to one of the other two winning

I was flicking back through the thread there, Namibia have gone on a hell of a run, they've knocked out St Kitts and Nevis, Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana - four of the best flags out there, they've had a tough draw in nearly every round and they're still standing with only four countries left.

What happened to Uruguay?

Namibia



VS

Dominica

Namibia, nice mix of three colours and a sun. +1 for Windhoek being a nice beer.

The Dominica flag just doesn't do it for me.

cdeb

Ooh, fluttery!

I think I need to let bygones be bygones here and ignore who they've knocked out. Time to take each on its own merits here.

I'm still not convince by that green/black/yellow Dominica combo. Add in the purple and white and there's a little bit too much tbh.

Namibia - I don't think it's a finalist, but it's a better put-together flag here, and that's the question being asked ultimately.

So - Namibia

Dominica for the winica, that and its nicer

Skylinehead

I'll plump for the colour-shifting bird this time. Dominica. Although Namibia is lovely.

Not that it matters when the Marshall Islands will win.

md323

Namibia for me.

Nicer colours.
Don't like that Dominican one at all.

Earthhorse

Namibia

I only voted for Dominica to knock out Albania.

Which sounds like a lyrics from The Elements song.

Pawwed Rig

Dominica - so the parrott does not cease to be

ArnoldJRimmer

Two great flags, but gonna go for Dominica, prefer the colours and design

Deeper Blue

I have to go for Dominica here

It's very unique and I'm a fan of the colour scheme.

While the Namibia flag is nice I really don't feel it's particularly head-turning and to be honest I'm amazed it got this far.

KathleenGrant

Namibia I like the use of diagonal stripes, the colours are vibrant and the sun really does give a feel of energy and life to it.

davetherave

Namibia has a nicer palette of colours, it looks more pleasant on the eye.

normanoffside

Dominica is the clear overall winner for me. Love that Parrot.

quickbeam

Both great, but Namibia is more flaggy, and has pleasing colour combinations, and has a nice story to its design.

quickbeam

Somebody mentioned about messaging the embassy of the winner, so this might be handy (opens as pdf).

Argentina is the only one of the semi finalists to have an embassy in Dublin. You'd have to go to London for Dominica or Namibia. Marshall Islands isn't listed at all, so not sure where we'd send them if they won.

Vote Namibia

While the Dominican parrot is cute, the rest of the flag is quite jarring. You'd get a headache from looking at it too long. Namibia's is much more pleasant; still colourful but relaxing.

Baggly

Namibia as it looks more flaggy

ozzy jr

Dominica for me.

I'm all about the parrot, got to keep him going.

Degag

Dominica. I like the parrot

Citizenpain

Dominica . , only flag with any purple in it besides Nicaragua

Citizenpain

This is close

Zaph

The Namibian flag is very nicely put together with a nice combination of colours, so it gets my vote. Which means that as far as I'm concerned

Uncharted

Namibia.

Its symbolic and bold.
A striking design.



* The parrot makes the Dominica flag look a bit childish.
Especially the gaudy colours.



* all you parrot lovers,bring the hate,do your worst.

Purgative

Yep Namibia - total class


The other thing - nah

Arghus

It has to be Dominica - I'm compelled to vote for that parrot. He looks so haughty.

EmmetSpiceland

Namibia, not sure how the bird one got this far. It’s not a great flag.

We could all go there collectively for a holiday once Covid is over and tell them ourselves if it wins.

Be great craic.

In that case, I'd change my vote to Dominca

Cosmo Kramer

Really torn on this one, they're both great, I wish the Irish flag followed the design of either of them.

I'm going to go for Namibia, I really like the shade of blue with the sun and it's just a cleaner, tidier effort overall than Dominica.

My apologies to the parrot. Maybe there will be a third place playoff for him.

alchemist33

Namibia shades it.

I just don't like the parrot, and now that its fluttery, the vertical and horizontal lines in Dominica remind me of a Nazi naval flag

Dominica

Purely for the parrot

cj maxx

Namibia
It just a lovely flag 😊

Give a reason, dude!

Dominica - Namibia is grand but not a semi-finalist. Dominica the more professional of the two.

Fr Tod Umptious

Dominica.

Namibia is too like the Marshall Islands and rather than have two very similar flags in the final (Argentina are no hopers) I'll go with the parrot.

Omackeral

Time just about up...

al87987

Namibia, simpler, more elegant, a worthy losing finalist

Omackeral

And that’s it. With a scoreline of 17-13 Namibia advances to the final!

The arse has well and truly fallen out of this tournament.

No wonder we've had 100 years of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael..

Arghus

Dominica is the like the Holland '74 of this tournament.

Omackeral

Semi-final 2 - Expires @ 20:30

Marshall Islands



VS

Argentina

The Marshall Islands LP.



Given the car boot sale version just knocked Dominica out and it's up against the Eurosaver Uruguay, this is a gimme.

Skylinehead

This semi-final should be like Brazil vs Germany. Argentina and its face, nice and all, are just not fit for this game.

Marshall Islands is the greatest flag in the world, therefore that.

A tough choice, but Marshall Islands for the lazer beams.

Don't cry for me, Argentina.

Argentina

Probably the underdog, deserves a few votes anyway........

Arghus

Marshall Islands - just for that UFO thing.

Argentina should just be happy to be here.

md323

Marshall islands...Because its a far superior flag.
