Rapid Online's World Cup Competition - Clues


Hey all,

I doubt that many of you use Rapid, but they've launched a World Cup competition, whereby they've hidden country flags on certain product pages. There's some clues to help you find the flags, and I'm not very good at stuff like this!

The clues are:

Quote:
1. A mat on which you will find this team's star player ... (Argentina) [it's obviously Messi but what the hell is the clue about?!]
2. In Copenhagen they plug this in ... (Denmark)
3. Draw a Gallic circle with this implement ... (France)
4. German army (slang) produce tool to make the great escape ... (Germany)
5. Connecting to this famous Japanese brand ... (Japan)
6. Popocatepetl is one of Mexico's most famous. But what goes on inside? ... (Mexico)
7. Swimming with these is very popular here ... (New Zealand)
8. Will this be the only lead the Americans take? ... (USA)
Help please?! Ta
Charlie

Ahaha legend. Now I know what I'm looking for I can consider making a bot to find them.

PS. You have PM

EDIT: Damn they've actually overwritten the original image with the flag, so I can't automate it.
EDIT2: I've found three now I know what I'm looking for

Just need three more...

4, 5, and 7

For 4 I've identified the clue to be Bosch. Except I've been through all items which come up when I search Bosch and can't find any with the flag on!

For 7 I tried goggles (and even found some called Pacific Goggles, which sounds too correct to be true) but also unable to find anything.

No idea re. 5.

Any help appreciated!

I'm guessing this thread is top of Google when you search these clues?
The flags are easy enough to find if you look for them.

Submitted my entry hours ago What I'm peeved at is that the site didn't make it clear that it's a draw, from which one winner is chosen per week. Originally the site simply said "get all 8 and win £50", which has now been amended (after I complained over email.)

Chances are I could make a claim via some legal channel to win the £50, given that I met the criteria on the site, but I can't be bothered
