Rwanda




VS


Monaco




VS


Oman

Wuff Wuff

Monaco

its Poland upside down

Mr. CooL ICE

If Poland drank too much zubrowka, fell and landed on it's head, it would speak french.

Voting for Oman because I've never seen that flag before.

Badly Drunk Boy

Oman, because of the swords.

WesternZulu

Hopefully Ireland and Ivory Coast don't get drawn against one another.

Rwanda - Nice vibrant colours

Uncharted

Flags ??????
:rolleyes:
Ah ffs.


G' wan then.

Voting for Rwanda, because of their hotel.

cj maxx

Rwanda.
I've never seen it before gives a sense of safety and tropical relaxation. Nothing bad would happen there !

This is it

Rwanda

EmmetSpiceland

Rwanda, that’s a nice looking flag.

It would be remiss of me not to ask that moderators, and the OP, not to try and “engage” with their, usual, brand of lame banter.

That’s been the lowest point of all of these threads. And, if it’s going to be “heavily” moderated it should just be moved to that, dreadful, “Games Forum” place.

riffmongous

Rwanda, nice to see they changed it from the old one and it's associations

Leg End Reject

Vote ''counted'', thanks.

Omackeral

Rwanda comes back and takes the lead. Their old flag was terrible, look it up! Next up we will see at least one Asian powerhouse fall.

Tuvalu




VS


Philippines




VS


Japan

Tuvalu. There aren't enough Union Jacks in the world already.

Zaph

Rwanda, much better than their old flag.

Japan, nice and simple. No mistaking it for anyone else's.

Japan - an iconic flag. Simplistic but not vertical/horizontal line simple.


The Union Jack is an immediate disqualifier for what could otherwise be a nice flag and possible winner of this matchup.

Pherekydes

Philippines.

Badly Drunk Boy

Japan, for its classic simplicity.

cj maxx

Philllipines

recyclops

japan as it looks great on kamikaze headbands

Omackeral

Japan rises to the occasion and hits Round 2. A trio of less familiar nations now. Which flag is best?

Botswana



VS

Myanmar



VS

Papua New Guinea

recyclops

papua new guinea, dark and has a phoenix esque feel with the bird

Badly Drunk Boy

Papua New Guinea. Nice image and good colours.

Botswana. A road runs through it.

Wuff Wuff

Papa New Guinea

has more about ti than the otehr 2

Papua New Guinea - for its uniqueness.

Uncharted

Myanmar.

For my aunt Margaret.

Mr. CooL ICE

Burma

Zaph

PNG, quite unusual and different from most other flags

riffmongous

PNG, very pretty flag

Omackeral

Papua gets to the required five! Another eclectic bunch here.

Norway



VS

Syria



VS

Malta

Syria. The stars look like nipples.

riffmongous

Tough one, in the sense none are particularly interesting.

Norway for the colours

cdeb

Yeah, agree. I'll go for Malta here for no other reason than to make it 1-1-1

Edit - damn, Bertie's post crossed...

EmmetSpiceland

Norway, the other 2 aren’t doing much for me.

Badly Drunk Boy

Malta, for the cross and because I know somebody from there.

cdeb

I'm can see Mozambique (with the AK47s) going far in this btw.

Bhutan, eSwatini and Kiribati semi-final contenders too.

(I like our flag - it'll be dumped out early in usual self-loathing, but no blue or red does make it slightly unusual in the pantheon of flags. In a group of just 9 in fact)

Wuff Wuff

Malta,

less ****e than the others

randd1

Malta.

Fr Tod Umptious

Malta

Brilliant thread OP

Malta. Celtic cross clinches it. Alliteration and so forth.

It's the George Cross. The island was awarded it by the UK during WW2 for their bravery in holding off the Germans and Italians.

Zaph

None are particularly interesting, so I'll vote for Norway because any Norwegians I've ever met have been sound.

Revit Man

All boring, but go with Norway because it's crossy

Omackeral

Malta hits the quota first so she sails on to the next stage. This is an interesting match next.

Iraq



VS

Bahamas



VS

Paraguay

Ferris_Bueller

Iraq, the Arabic writing in green looks cool.

Wuff Wuff

Bahamas,

nice mix of colours

Nothing to do with your username and signature?!

riffmongous

Iraq for the writing

Uncharted

Bahamas.


It looks tropical.
