    Albania

    A masterpiece. Simple as.

    The other flag is like something you would find in a kids colouring book. Its colours hurt my eyes

    Albania for me for this one. A dominating colour scheme and design.

    I don't actually like the Albanian flag, but it is striking and so gets my vote

    Its saddening some of the more contentious (what i would consider interesting) flags arent making it through but thats what happens in most votes. Things return to the centre / mean.

    Quarter Final 3 - Expires @ 14:02
    Uganda

    ug-flag.gif

    The three colours are symbolic of different things. Black represents the native ethnic groups of Africa. Africa's sunshine is the yellow, and African brotherhood by red, being the colour of blood which through which all Africans are connected. The grey crowned crane is fabled for its gentle nature and was also the military badge of Ugandan soldiers during British rule. The raised leg of the crane symbolises the forward movement of the country

    VS

    Argentina

    Originally flown as a war flag, the Argentine banner added the Sun of May which represents the Inca sun god Inte. Debate rumbles on between historians and descendants of the flag’s creator, Manuel Belgrano, as to whether the colour is sky blue or a darker shade.

    Argentina, I was sad when Uruguay went out but Argentina is the next best thing.

    Hmm. Argentina has a face, but Uganda has a chicken.


    I'll go Argentina since I will never forgive Uganda for beating the actual best flag out there in Nepal.

    Argentina
    Because of the sun and vitamin D,
    the pumas, and I love their accent even though they are annoyingly cocky
    Shamefully Toms shoes logo looks like the flag

    Uganda - Nowhere else in the observable, or unobservable, universe would the Argentinian flag make it further than the Uruguayan.

    Two great flags, Argentina edges it for me. Nice colour simplicity with the blue, white, blue. Sun in the middle, lovely flag.

    Argentina,

    The Uganda flag looks like something I'd expect to see at Warner Brothers Studios.

    Argentina.
    Turns out Uganda's chicken isn't a chicken but a crane.
    So Argentina as Uganda's flag has a badly drawn crane that looks like a chicken

    Not a massive fan of either but I think, of the two, Argentina's is just a better looking flag. So I'll go with Argentina in this round.

    If only there was a flag with a man getting with a football in the groin.

    Uganda

    The Argentine flag is another borefest that inevitably seem to get through to the latter stages of these competitions somehow.
