    Marshall islands.

    Its epic.

    It evokes images of where it's from.

    It's just looks like it belongs to a tropical location.



    It's the worthy outright winner.

    Marshall Islands

    I know Marshall. He's a nice lad. Deserves to win.


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


    Marshall Islands is a better flag by any metric I care to use


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭c.p.w.g.w


    Marshall Island gets my vote...just a better flag...like Argentina and all but just not close enough

    End of the road for Argentina, given it’s a poor man’s Uruguay it is really lucky to get this far.

    Marshall Islands is indeed a worth finalist so I vote for them.

    Marshall Islands, design, colour, symbolism, everything.

    Might be as well to call this match up at 8pm and move on.

    Marshall Islands, if Uruguay didn’t make then Argentina certainly shouldn’t.

    Marshall Islands is pleasant to the eye and something unique.


    Argentina has got as far as its going. Time for boat home to Buenos lads.

    Marshall islands, if a crane, a chicken, a 2 headed eagle, a dragon and a parrot can't make the final a smiley sun has no business being here.

    Marshall Islands love the colours, great tones, the symbolism of the flag and that star is wonderful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Argentina. The perfect balance between simple flags and those with imagery. Marshall Islands just doesn't look like a serious flag to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,778 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Went out for a walk and arrive back to see Dominica knocked out. Disgraceful. Tough to lose both them and Uganda in the space of a few hours.

    I am going for Marshall Islands in this round as the Argentina flag is average and common.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Marshall Islands for its beam of greatness and the fact it makes me want a cocktail


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


    Argentina, it's got a smiley sun on it and the Marshall Islands flag doesn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,514 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    Marshall Islands, as the Argentina flag should have been gone long ago in this competition


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


    Marshall Islands. It's a good flag, and Argentina's is just to pastelly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭littlevillage


    I have voted Argentina earlier ... so have to be consistent. But looks like a Landslide for Marshal Mathers island.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,198 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Marshall Islands. As I said before, it's nice and colourful, and I've never been mad about the Argentinian flag, especially the sun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,083 ✭✭✭Citizenpain


    Marshall island . Still shocked that Dominica didn’t make final

    Marshall Islands is the nicer of these two, so gets my vote. Argentina was lucky to get this far, though I'd still take it over Dominica.

    Argentina.

    Lovely and iconic colours with 100% smiley sun added, free!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,115 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    Has to be the Marshal Islands flag, it draws the eye from the horizon to the sky as if urging you to look look to the heavens, I could imagine it making a poignant flag on a manned spacecraft leaving the familiarity of our Sun to visit another star.

    Argentina

    I'm hoping for a repeat of 1986 when they swept all before it, but I fear it's going to be 1990 when they were beaten in the final.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,272 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Marshal Islands

    The colours, design of the diagonal laser equator.

    It's a great flag, but it has a corporate feel to it ... It could be NATOs :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Marshall Islands, Royal blue is better than sky blue. And that smiley sun should have been gone a long time ago


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


    Marshall Islands
    Beautiful in every sense. Unique in every sense

    I don't think they're going to be beaten in the final.

    I don't think they're even going to make the final :P

    Marshall Islands edge it for me.

    Don't understand the dislike for Argentina.

    Marshall Islands has the nice stripes and star. Very nice flag.

    Marshall Islands advances to the final!
