    The Namibian flag is very nicely put together with a nice combination of colours, so it gets my vote. Which means that as far as I'm concerned

    Namibia.

    Its symbolic and bold.
    A striking design.



    * The parrot makes the Dominica flag look a bit childish.
    Especially the gaudy colours.



    * all you parrot lovers,bring the hate,do your worst. :)

    Yep Namibia - total class


    The other thing - nah

    It has to be Dominica - I'm compelled to vote for that parrot. He looks so haughty.

    Namibia, not sure how the bird one got this far. It’s not a great flag.

    Somebody mentioned about messaging the embassy of the winner, so this might be handy (opens as pdf).

    Argentina is the only one of the semi finalists to have an embassy in Dublin. You'd have to go to London for Dominica or Namibia. Marshall Islands isn't listed at all, so not sure where we'd send them if they won.

    We could all go there collectively for a holiday once Covid is over and tell them ourselves if it wins.

    Be great craic.

    In that case, I'd change my vote to Dominca :)

    Really torn on this one, they're both great, I wish the Irish flag followed the design of either of them.

    I'm going to go for Namibia, I really like the shade of blue with the sun and it's just a cleaner, tidier effort overall than Dominica.

    My apologies to the parrot. Maybe there will be a third place playoff for him.

    Namibia shades it.

    I just don't like the parrot, and now that its fluttery, the vertical and horizontal lines in Dominica remind me of a Nazi naval flag

    Dominica

    Purely for the parrot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,742 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Namibia
    It just a lovely flag 😊

    Namibia

    Give a reason, dude!

    Dominica - Namibia is grand but not a semi-finalist. Dominica the more professional of the two.

    Dominica.

    Namibia is too like the Marshall Islands and rather than have two very similar flags in the final (Argentina are no hopers) I'll go with the parrot.


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Time just about up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭al87987


    Namibia, simpler, more elegant, a worthy losing finalist

    And that’s it. With a scoreline of 17-13 Namibia advances to the final!


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


    The arse has well and truly fallen out of this tournament.

    No wonder we've had 100 years of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael..


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


    Dominica is the like the Holland '74 of this tournament.

    The Marshall Islands LP.

    Given the car boot sale version just knocked Dominica out and it's up against the Eurosaver Uruguay, this is a gimme.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    This semi-final should be like Brazil vs Germany. Argentina and its face, nice and all, are just not fit for this game.

    Marshall Islands is the greatest flag in the world, therefore that.


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A tough choice, but Marshall Islands for the lazer beams.

    Don't cry for me, Argentina.


  • Posts: 19,174 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Argentina

    Probably the underdog, deserves a few votes anyway........


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


    Marshall Islands - just for that UFO thing.

    Argentina should just be happy to be here.
