Rivera love that shade of blue and the stripes are arranged differently than usual. Kids all agree.

Zaph

Rivera (URU) - been a big fan of the asymmetrical stripe on the left since the start, and the crest on it is pretty nice too.

Dont like either, but Rivera

Don't think Vargas is all that well done. Rivera is different and neat. Rivera for me.

If I'm not too late, smug-sun Vargas

It looks like an identical shade of blue and the same width and orientation of stripes on both flags to me

The one on extreme left is different. Probably more a ribbon than a stripe but I like it. And way more of blue on Rivera flag.

Omackeral

It's a done deal.

Rivera advances to the Quarter Finals

Remaining Round 4 matches going up before 5PM

Match 7

San José (URU)



vs

Santa Cruz (ARG)

pickarooney

I could see Santa taking a nice relaxing Cruz to Argentina

San José - nice flag but a lot of flags have those colours and that sun, so it's time to say goodbye.

Cosmo Kramer

Santa Cruz - nice colours, interesting design and no tellytubby faced sun.

ChannelNo5

Hmm not a fan of either here but San José (URU) probably the better of the two.
Not liking the brown mountains.

San José (URU) just don't like the chocolate sundae

KathleenGrant

Have voted for San José consistently but for me this time it has to be

Santa Cruz
The blue (color) represents the sky ; the sun is the light reflected of our national sun as symbol of divinity that was to the aboriginal people. Furthermore, the sun is the raising sun and symbolic of the dawn of the youth of this Province. It has an inferior semi circle (that has inside) the night sky, the Southern Cross and the Mount Chaltén. The latter, a symbol of the primitive inhabitants of these southern lands, the Aónikenk. In the inferior part of the flag, in blue and white colors, is represented the sea.

Omackeral

All very tight with 5 minutes to go...

Zaph

San José (URU) - both great, the brown on the other one is what costs them my vote

Omackeral

And that’s time! Zaph misses by seconds!

Santa Cruz advances to the Quarter Finals

Omackeral

The last Round 4 match is on the way and it’s a cracker imo...

Match 8

Paraná (BRA)



vs

Tierra del Fuego (ARG)

Zaph

Tierra del Fuego (ARG) - not usually a fan of orange, but it works really well with the blue and the design is very unique

Reberetta

Parana

Purgative

Tierra del Fuego (ARG) as Zaph said, its unusal cours and unusual design, yet it woks

KathleenGrant

Paraná
It is composed of a green quadrilateral, crossed from the upper left angle to the lower right by a large white stripe, which symbolizes the Tropic of Capricorn (which passes through northern Paraná), bearing a blue circle with the five stars of the Southern Cross (Crux) in lower course. The Cross is depicted with south at the top, as it appears in the night sky.

The circle is crossed, below the "Star of Magellan", by a thin stripe that suggests a horizon, featuring the word "PARANÁ" in green, lightened by the only visible star of that constellation. The sphere is surrounded by a branch of Paraná Pine tree on the right, and by a branch of Yerba mate on the left.


Tierra del Fuega
The flag has a white stylized flying albatross facing the upper fly, and its wingspan stretches from the canton corner of the flag to the lower fly corner of the flag. The area of the flag above the albatross is blue, and the area below it is orange. In the center of the blue area is a stylized version (using white five-pointed stars) of Crux.Blue represents the ocean and the sky, the albatross is a symbol of Tierra del Fuego, and Santa Cruz is a very famous guide constellation in the Southern Hemisphere.

From the minute I read about the albatross I was sold on this flag. I also love the way it is used to separate the flags colours rather than just plonked in the middle of the flag. I do think the orange works really well and I wouldn't be a fan of orange on flags.

I really like Paraná but in this round it has to be Tierro del Fuego. (Great name for a place too)
