It was harder than it looked and missed Montenegro like most people. I cannot believe how many people have queried why certain countries have been omitted from the list despite clearly having either a U, S or A in them. I couldn't understand why a couple of my efforts were not accepted but realised that I must have been wrong, which I was

What I liked about this quiz is it was a fun way to acknowledge that many feel JetPunk is too US centric.Love Jetpunk but this is true. Sport is a particularly frustrating section as nobody outside the US has any idea about the NBA, NFL, Baseball. Still the best quiz site out there though.

As for the quiz itself, a good idea but a lot of flaws as already pointed out.

Basketball is popular all over Europe, ice hockey as well (although mostly in cold countries). Baseball is big in Japan (chortle) and a lot of Latin America. American Football is followed all over the place - they even play NFL games in Europe.

The old "US sports are only popular in the US" cliché is, well, just a cliché these days.

(I'm not American in any sense of the word.)

They have had Germany games, London games, Mexico games, I’m pretty sure a Brazil game, and this year they are adding a Spain game. Plus, over 40 preseason games have been played outside of the U.S.

Essentially, they play a game or two or three outside of the U.S. each season, but no team’s home stadium is outside of the U.S.

Aren't quizzes on this site usually featured once they've been nominated by a whole bunch of users? Wouldn't that just mean that the majority of quiz takers tend to want those types of quizzes? Complaining about this site being too American is... anti-democratic!
