    Very difficult but I’ll go with Argentina as my Uruguay substitute.


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


    Prefer the Uganda colour scheme. Maybe a darker shade of blue edges it were it present for Argentina. Like the WC kit they had for the 2016 WC.

    Alas...


    UGANDA.

    Argentina. Despite the funky chicken, I don't like the actual colours of the Uganda flag.

    Argentina.

    Coz the other flag has a chicken on it. An actual chicken. What self respecting country puts a chicken on their flag when they could put a smiley sun on it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭Uncharted


    The Ugandan flag looks like it was designed by a Nazi Bernard Matthew's.

    It's a pox of a thing.

    The Argie flag is pure meh.


    This is a dull round.


    Begrudgingly,I'll cast a vote for Argentinas flag*.


    *AKA...... a cheap tea towel.

    Uganda is a beauty with the colours and chicken in the middle. Argentina is poor enough, surprised it has made it this far.

    Argentina, just that blue & white scheme just does something to me


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


    Argentina because they resisted the urge to put a chicken on their flag


  • Posts: 4,824 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Argentina.

    Uganda's bird is too cartoonish and should not have progressed further than the much classier birds from Kiribati and Papua New Guinea, not to mention Bhutan's dragon and Albania's double headed eagle of doom.

    Argentina, the other flag is disgusting. The colours are like something cheap imitation Smarties would come in.

    Two average flags imo, to many lines on the Ugandan flag.

    Argentina gets my vote

    Uganda.
    The chicken reminds me of the logo from some old fried chicken shop from the 80s.

    Pat Grace's maybe.

    And I love fried chicken

    Argentina's colour combo and sun swings it for me.


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


    The blue and white combo does nothing for me - Argies, Israel, Somalia, Finland...

    Uganda is striking by contrast - so Uganda.

    Quarter Final 4 - Expires @ 15:34
    Eswatini

    wz-flag.gif

    Formerly known as Swaziland, Eswatini boasts quite an unusual national flag. The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of the country. The central focus of the flag is a Nguni shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Eswatini.

    VS

    Marshall Islands

    rm-flag.gif

    This flag features the symbolic representation of the islands' place within the Pacific Ocean. The rising diagonal band represents the equator, the star above representing this Northern Hemisphere archipelago. The white and orange portions of the band represent, respectively, the Ratak Chain ("sunrise") and the Ralik Chain ("sunset"), as well as symbolizing peace and courage. The sun's 24 points represent the number of electoral districts, while the four elongated points represent the principal cultural centers. The flag is also the national flag with the most points on a star, at 24.

    Eswatini

    purely cos I think it would look better flying on a flagpole.


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


    Marshall Islands

    Because of that story Leg End made up about it.

    Marshal Islands

    Equator. Star. Cultures. Ocean. It's a geography lesson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 243 ✭✭md323


    Marshall islands.

    Its simple and reminds me of a beach and the sun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭CK22


    Marshall Islands

    My favourite since the start. Colours work so well together and it is much simpler than Eswantini.

    Plenty of symbolism as well and just an all round class flag.


  • Posts: 14,734 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Eswatini is slightly better for me


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


    Marshall Islands. I like the swish to it.

    Never too late to let Argentina know how I feel about its dull colouring scheme! :)

    Also - is Kiribati gone?!

    On these two - I can't forgive the Marshall Islands for knocking out the Bhutan dragon. So eSwatini for me.

    Edit - eSwatini knocked out Kiribati. Now I don't like either of these flags for what they've done! I mean, I'll stick with eSwatini, but it needs to know I begrudge it my vote...

    Marshall Islands
    The diagonal equator


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭bmorrissey


    Marshall Islands for the design and the colours


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,275 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Eswanti again purely for the shield and spears.
