I'm patiently waiting for Europe's turn so that I can vote for Moldova.

Really enjoyable and informative thread. I'm still kind of in awe of that Melilla flag.

Gonna stop now while we have 4 winners. I had the exact opposite choices on the first 3 matchups, and this is clearly the worst day for Saints so far this year.

Also the US flag is objectively better than like 3/4ths of the flags that made it to the later rounds. Hope you're happy, you bunch of commies.
