    I'm voting like Marge and Tina.

    Marshall islands.

    Its epic.

    It evokes images of where it's from.

    It's just looks like it belongs to a tropical location.



    It's the worthy outright winner.

    Marshall Islands

    I know Marshall. He's a nice lad. Deserves to win.


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


    Marshall Islands is a better flag by any metric I care to use


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


    Marshall Island gets my vote...just a better flag...like Argentina and all but just not close enough

    End of the road for Argentina, given it’s a poor man’s Uruguay it is really lucky to get this far.

    Marshall Islands is indeed a worth finalist so I vote for them.


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


    Marshall Islands, design, colour, symbolism, everything.

    Might be as well to call this match up at 8pm and move on.


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


    Marshall Islands, if Uruguay didn’t make then Argentina certainly shouldn’t.

    Marshall Islands is pleasant to the eye and something unique.


    Argentina has got as far as its going. Time for boat home to Buenos lads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Marshall islands, if a crane, a chicken, a 2 headed eagle, a dragon and a parrot can't make the final a smiley sun has no business being here.

    Marshall Islands love the colours, great tones, the symbolism of the flag and that star is wonderful.


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


    Argentina. The perfect balance between simple flags and those with imagery. Marshall Islands just doesn't look like a serious flag to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Went out for a walk and arrive back to see Dominica knocked out. Disgraceful. Tough to lose both them and Uganda in the space of a few hours.

    I am going for Marshall Islands in this round as the Argentina flag is average and common.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,337 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Marshall Islands for its beam of greatness and the fact it makes me want a cocktail


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


    Argentina, it's got a smiley sun on it and the Marshall Islands flag doesn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Marshall Islands, as the Argentina flag should have been gone long ago in this competition


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Marshall Islands. It's a good flag, and Argentina's is just to pastelly.


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


    I have voted Argentina earlier ... so have to be consistent. But looks like a Landslide for Marshal Mathers island.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,709 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Marshall Islands. As I said before, it's nice and colourful, and I've never been mad about the Argentinian flag, especially the sun.


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


    Marshall island . Still shocked that Dominica didn’t make final

    Marshall Islands is the nicer of these two, so gets my vote. Argentina was lucky to get this far, though I'd still take it over Dominica.


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


    Argentina.

    Lovely and iconic colours with 100% smiley sun added, free!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    Has to be the Marshal Islands flag, it draws the eye from the horizon to the sky as if urging you to look look to the heavens, I could imagine it making a poignant flag on a manned spacecraft leaving the familiarity of our Sun to visit another star.


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


    Argentina

    I'm hoping for a repeat of 1986 when they swept all before it, but I fear it's going to be 1990 when they were beaten in the final.


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


    Marshal Islands

    The colours, design of the diagonal laser equator.

    It's a great flag, but it has a corporate feel to it ... It could be NATOs :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,445 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Marshall Islands, Royal blue is better than sky blue. And that smiley sun should have been gone a long time ago


  • Registered Users Posts: 106 ✭✭CK22


    Marshall Islands
    Beautiful in every sense. Unique in every sense

    I don't think they're going to be beaten in the final.

    I don't think they're even going to make the final :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,303 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Marshall Islands edge it for me.

    Don't understand the dislike for Argentina.

    Marshall Islands has the nice stripes and star. Very nice flag.

    Marshall Islands advances to the final!

    Grand Final will be up within the hour folks. Don’t miss it. In the mean time, let’s crown a bronze medalist.

    Argentina...That parrot is just a bit much


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Dominica. Bright and cheery. Sky blue doesn't impress me much.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Argentina

    Remove the parrot and Dominica isn't nice to look at. If they kept the cross in just one colour it might have worked but putting three colours in there is just too much.


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


    Argentina

    The parrot and design look childish.

    Argentina, for the Falklands


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


    Dominica.

    Colour-shifting parrot > face


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


    Parrot vs Smiley Sun...I'll go with the Smiley Sun

    Argentina


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


    Dominica, I won't hear a bad word said about that parrot. To be fair I like the rest of the flag too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,499 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    Dominica - much more exciting looking flag than the Argentinians and I really like the colours.

    Argentina, the bird is not the word in this case, and it’s as close to Uruguay as we’re going to get.

    Dominica - not even Admiral William Brown could rescue Argentina here. Dominica just the superior flag aesthetically.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Dominica, way nicer and more interesting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,941 ✭✭✭De Bhál


    Argentina - It's a beautiful looking flag, unlike that other travesty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Dominica for the parrot, it used to be happy.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Dominica

    For the parrot


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


    Dominica

    Just to emphasise how bland the Argentine flag is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,982 ✭✭✭Degag


    Dominica. Unsure how Argentina got so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 106 ✭✭CK22


    My first time voting for Dominica in this tournament

    But I can’t justify the Argentine flag going this far. Not a major fan of either but Argentina should count itself lucky to get so far.

    The parrot for bronze


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Argentina, for the smiley sunshine. Surprised it beat the Marshall Islands, but pleased.
