Ultimate Battle of Western Europe

Tuscany - horses with wings win every time.

Pawwed Rig

Tuscany because it is closer to Veneto

Cosmo Kramer

Definitely Tuscany of those two.

Tuscany. That’s a pretty horsey.

quickbeam

I do like both, but gonna go with Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur because I do like the funky fish (that everyone keeps calling a dolphin).

Omackeral

Tuscany win via whitewash and advance to the semi final

Omackeral

Canary Islands, just nicer. Plaiin B&W don't impress me much.

Zaph

Canary Islands. Don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I don't like black and white flags.

[Deleted User]

Canary Islands. Much prefer the color to the dull b&w.

Purgative

Canary Islands I like the Christmas Tree thing but this is more elegant. Plus I want to be there now.

JohnGreenFan

Canary islands. Are they dogs on the flag? Didn't notice that before. Love dogs.

Omackeral

Canary dogs, funnily enough! That’s what the islands are named after, not birds.

There's my new fun fact!

Cosmo Kramer

Canary Islands - bright flag, nice crest. I like it a lot.

quickbeam

A close up of the crest for those still in doubt.

Omackeral

And that’s that, Canary Islands claim the last semi final spot

Electric Nitwit

They do look like good doggies. Yes you are, you're such good doggies, aren't you?

Holy crap, Canary dogs are not cute and cuddly like on that flag, look at the beasts...!

Purgative

Just read this

In County Galway, Ireland in 2017, a woman was killed when she entered her son's home and was attacked by three of these dogs, which were being used by the son as guard dogs

Feel like I just voted for Trump.

Pawwed Rig

Canarias essentially means canines

Omackeral

Join us tomorrow for the semi finals. Will start the proceedings at lunch time.

Omackeral

Both semi finals are going to run concurrently and will have a time limit of 90 minutes. Most votes wins. As simple as that! It’s coming up next.

Tuscany and the Canary Islands for me.

Horse and dogs basically, though I prefer the colour on both to the other two also.

alchemist33

Cueta. I like Tuscanys horse but the interesting pattern of Cueta trumps it.


And the Canaries - nice doggies, and I just find the other one too plain.

Electric Nitwit

Tuscany, though that ones close. I prefer the simplicity of it, it's a good skill to create something unique with such little detailing

Canaries. Obviously the doggies on the flag are cute and that's what we're judging on, never mind the actual ones would tear your face off in a second. The Rioja colour scheme is too much. Green and gold should only ever be seen in Donegal!

Zaph

Tuscany - it's only OK, but it's not predominantly black and white

La Rioja - the colours are more appealing than the Canaries flag.

Purgative

Tuscanny - difficult choice, both decent banners but the red really pops on the white and a nice horse.







La Rioja - voted for them both on the way up, but no way is the Canaries flag (nice enough in itself) an accurate representation of the hound of the Baskervilles it represents. Its like Clare having a Rottweiler on their jerseys. Bait and switch.
