    Rules for Round 1 are;

    All draws are made by a random number generator.
    First to get 5 votes progresses.
    30 minute time limit per match.
    In the case of a draw or undecided match, I'll cast a vote.

    Monaco

    its Poland upside down


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,950 ✭✭✭✭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.

    Oman, because of the swords.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭WesternZulu


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

    Voting for Rwanda, because of their hotel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,732 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭This is it


    Rwanda


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,968 ✭✭✭✭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.

    Rwanda, that’s a nice looking flag.

    Vote ''counted'', thanks.

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


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,411 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Rwanda, much better than their old flag.

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


  • Posts: 13,753 ✭✭✭✭ Olivia Yellow Selenium


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,284 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Philippines.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Japan, for its classic simplicity.

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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Papua New Guinea. Nice image and good colours.


  • Posts: 5,422 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

  • Posts: 13,753 ✭✭✭✭ Olivia Yellow Selenium


    Papua New Guinea - for its uniqueness.


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


    Myanmar.

    For my aunt Margaret.
