    Greece. Azerbaijan has too much going on and Estonia is just like some weird Dublin kit.

    Greece, for the pretty blue.

    Just like Euro 2004, Greece could be a dark horse entry maybe. Here's another cult fave coming up now.
    Seychelles

    Seychelles. It's like the Romanian and Hungarian flags rolled into one.

    Seychelles, reminds me of a prism rainbow.

    Seychelles

    ****s on the other 2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,724 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Seychelles. That's actually amazing, never seen it before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,470 ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Seychelles. You have to admire a nation that allows their national flag be designed by someone in junior infants


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A 5-0-0 hammering. A contender for sure. Next up... some countries you've prob never even heard of.
    Eritrea

    Seychelles. Just end the tournament now. Nut best flag i've ever seen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,470 ✭✭✭✭Pawwed Rig


    Equatorial Guinea because I like the tree


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,085 ✭✭✭✭Degag


    Seychelles. Guyana. Just end the tournament now. Nut best flag i've ever seen

    Guyana - more alluring than the others.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Some cool ones here, I'll go with Guyana for the geometry and colour


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,549 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    That's an interesting mix. They're all good; I'm going to go with Eritrea cos none deserves a whitewash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,283 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    Guyana - that's a lovely flag.

    Estonia in the previous group, striking and a bit different to other European flags

    And Seychelles in the other group, again a lovely flag.


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Equatorial Guinea, pretty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,085 ✭✭✭✭Degag


    Has anyone pointed out that realistically this tournament is a foregone conclusion?

    I mean who can really vote against the Irish flag and look themselves in the mirror? Barring the non-Irish of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,696 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    All three flags there are pretty decent, but I'd have to go for Guyana: the colour scheme is striking and the triangles look really serious, despite their dayglo hues.

    Eritrea is the prettiest of those.

    Equatorial Guinea's decision to put a border around each triangle hints to a lack of confidence in their choices.

    That would be Guyana.

    OK I'm going to come out and say it - beyond a natural affinity to our own flag and memories of Italia 90 etc. the Irish flag is a bit meh...just a reworked French tricolore, one third of which represents a community who reject the flag. There are at least 50 national flags out there that are nicer than ours unfortunately.

    I agree with you completely - but how bloody well dare you.

    Hey, if it weren't for the prods, our flag would just be Libya's old one. We've a lot to be thankful for!

    It’s Guyana that smashes through. I’ll pick this up again tomorrow and we see some more fantastic flags :)


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Another great fun thread idea, OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,778 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Guyana, the black in between the red and yellow really makes it look well. Always enjoy these threads, hopefully continues tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,500 ✭✭✭Yester


    Guyana. It reminds me of Star Trek.
