    How is 22 reached out of interest? Not really understanding the scoring in this game.

    I had Santander on 25

    All matches last 15 minutes. Any votes cast after the time expires isn't counted for scoring purposes.

    1st choice = 4pts
    2nd choice =3 pts
    3rd choice = 2 pts
    4th choice = 1 pt

    That is what I thought but it still doesn't add up.

    There'll be a break in action today but tomorrow we'll go balls to the wall as I plan to be very hungover and this is actually a very good cure, believe it or don't. So hope to see you all for a lazy Sunday!

    Random fact I just read. Paraguay is the only flag in the United Nations that is different on its reverse side

    Don't normally go for tricolours, but that's a nice colour combo for Huila

    Cundina has a nice eagle thingy on it, but gets marked down for writing its name on its flag.

    So Huila
    Colonia
    Cundinamarca
    Pasco

    But it's celebrating the liberty and independence of Cundinamarca so I like that. Not as much as Colonia crest but still.

    Omackeral sorry, a flag is a flag and all but looked up Colonia and it seems to have been a torture centre and hid Nazis, complicit in child sex abuse. Can't do it. Take out Colonia for me and keep others in that order

    In that case then I'll move Colonia to the bottom too.



    The old South Americans are quite into their Prussian uniforms (Peru I think) and like a bit of the old goose stepping.

    Edit No its Chile

    If we're going to get into politics on every flag, then we'll be here all night, and the US should be number one on the list!

    I think this is better kept to aesthetics tbh, but that's just my two cents.

    Yes i agree and i won't mention politics any more. I wondered were they celebrating the bee on the crest or was it a wasp/hornet.

    I will keep stuff like that out from now on and i apologise to Omack and the players for my political posts.

    Well as a political rather than geographical statement, I'm not sure I'd agree. :p

    But you know the point I mean.

    If the flag is symbolising child abuse or Nazi hiding, then vote it down. Otherwise, let it be. Is my view.
