My guess for round 3
  1. Somalia
  2. Central African Republic
  3. I see the british lion, some province in an ex-British colony God knows where. Doesn’t seem Australian, so Canada?
  4. Is that saint George in there !?!?! Something British/scottish looks like it.
  5. Nope - literally there is no clue on that flag.
  6. That colour is suspiciously Portuguese. Somewhere in Africa?
  7. Ukraine
  8. Kenya
  9. Botswana
  10. Nope - no clue here either.
  11. Yemen. That flag type is everywhere there :confused: (Egypt, Iraq, Syria and one other iirc).
  12. Somewhere around Australia - default choice
  13. France
  14. Seems like a flat grassland. Considering you’ve had such flags earlier, something in Siberia or something?
  15. Thailand
  16. Spain
  17. Cameroon (my favorite team in some Mundials)
  18. This has ex-spanish colony vibes. It is not a country flag that I know off, but it is too nice for just a province. No clue. Guess: Somewhere in central america.
  19. Seems like an indian design. North-central america.
  20. The very stylish Turkmenistan flag. The country is not very known, but the flag rocks
  21. Island of no clue.
  22. Somewhere in/around Australia
  23. Morroco or, as we still say it here for some odd reason, Maroco
  24. Island over Australia or in the Pacific? The desing seems like it.
  25. African style. It really looks like it is missing a star in that yellow part. No clue. Africa.
  26. That’s the Asian style crescent, but what exactly is it I cannot remember. Asia.
  27. Almost Esthonia, but not Esthonia. Are we finally hitting the gazillion european flags? Somewhere in Europe, I’ll guess.
  28. Sweden
  29. I think it is a state flag in the US, but don’t remember which.
  30. More Mundial flags. Paraguay
  31. Zimbambwe (spelling?)
  32. Belize
My guess for round 4
  1. Looks like a TIE fighter, but I have seen this one before. Is it something over Scotland?
  2. Japan
  3. Some island no clue where.
  4. That’s african design.
  5. That looks like Asian/mongolian or something around there.
  6. Germany
  7. That the other Congo. Not giving the full name this time haha :stuck_out_tongue:
  8. Never seen this one. Africa?
  9. Never seen this one either. Central america? (or 9 and 8 vice-versa. Just guesswork)
  10. Malaysia
  11. First green = Ireland. This one is Ivory coast then.
  12. Somewhere in Europe
  13. Weird mix of cross and Mayan/Aztec lines. Central america some province or something?
  14. Poland
  15. Vietnam
  16. That arab dagger means this is in Arabia. Yemen was in part 3, ergo probably Oman. :slight_smile:
  17. I’ve seen this one somewhere? A province in North America again?
  18. Norway
  19. Finland
  20. Almost said Czech Rep, but 3 european countries in line? Made me pause and think. But I cannot remember it … I’ve seen it, but no clue. I remember that it is in the same category like Ireland. It is not in Europe
  21. Somewhere in Asia? That mix of Japanese flag with the star of Vietnam … just wow
  22. Italy
  23. It looks like someone had a child draw a tree. No Lebanon, no clue.
  24. No clues there, unless that’s the polar star again and it is somewhere in the arctic?
  25. Ok, south/central american design on the badge, african style and colors. South Central america is my guess, because you have probably two other african flags in the same line.
  26. Another african design. So, Africa?
  27. I’ve seen this weird on somewhere. No clue
  28. That’s Burkina Faso
  29. Comedy Central? :stuck_out_tongue: … no seriously, that looks like central america design.
  30. New Zeland’s old flag
  31. Somewhere in the Subsaharan zone of “so many countries, so close, so many flags”
  32. The last of the three similar flags missing from this topic: Equador

Those where VERY interesting O_o Well done!

Note that it’s OK if you want to compete in earlier rounds as well, but you’ll have to score for yourself.

I’m also happy to score you for Round 3.

Yes, plus I was a massive fan of PES/PRO football computer games when I was younger. If it had a national team presence in any football organization, I know all about their flags (which, funny enough, led to the Peru error where the football team uses the embelished flag, but the actual country itself does not :stuck_out_tongue: )

Incidentally that is how a LOT of people here in Greece know even obscure English and German hamlets as well as Finnish towns (like Jyväskylä that made a bang in early 2010+), even though they might not know jack about anything else about geography. It is amazing what being a fan of football betting can teach you :sweat_smile:

We’re hitting the New World hard in this set. I gave two flags for #29 so that we can avoid politics.

I don’t see this going well for me … everything looks like Belise flag, yet none of them is :smiley:

My guess for round 5
  1. I know that one and it keeps slipping my mind due to Liberia. Africa?
  2. Learned my lesson I’ll default to “US state” for all of these :stuck_out_tongue:
  3. That’s a Brazilian province for sure
  4. Opposite flag of Mali = Guinea
  5. Indian ocean. I default to that with those waves, even though in earlier round it was way off.
  6. Great Britain
  7. No clue. Random guess, American continent
  8. Romania
  9. Laos
  10. Another football powerhouse, Ghana.
  11. Somewhere in/around Australia
  12. Mountains, lakes and grain. Some russian province near Urals where they have their grain belt?
  13. Looks like something from earlier. Asia?
  14. “US state”
  15. “US state”
  16. Sun, John Deere’s deer, a palm tree, the sea and an oil rig? What madness is this ? :smiley: ok, total guess. John Deere factory flag in Florida.
  17. “US state”
  18. “US state”
  19. Somewhere between Europe and Asia?
  20. Belarus
  21. That’s the brazilian flag sign in there. Brazilian province?
  22. “US state”
  23. . Uganda and its infamous flag
  24. I always forget the name. It is in South America, with an african design flag.
  25. “US state”
  26. Some russian province again? You can’t tell with russians. So far they have the most diverse flags.
  27. Another football powerhouse, Senegal. I always confuse those two, but since they are in the same round, it made it easier.
  28. Asia?
  29. Syria
  30. “US state” … that’s certain at least.
  31. Mexican province?
  32. Looks like Paraguay. But those bears scream North america. I’ll stick with North America.
