I understand what you mean but there are 2 points I would like to make: Firstly, it is not only Americans that use this site; quizzes have to cater to everyone and football(or as you say, soccer) is extremely popular all over the world and the U.S. is in the minority for not having taking to it as well as most countries have. Secondly, I, as a European, have missed out on getting 100% on many quizzes because I don't know about things that are particularly popular or prevalent in the U.S., things that are not treated the same in my country. There is no problem with that at all, this is a global site so topics from around the world should be what's expected.
It's a quiz about South America, if you don't know the importance of football in south america you are very misinformed, you are lucky there's just one question haha. Also, it's the biggest sporting event in the world outside of the olympics, not some local competition so stop complaining.
nice quiz BUT us colombians are tired of esobar :/, it would have been nicer if whoever who made this would have included another colombian question haha:(, it's REALLY a pain in the 4ss
Not sure if this if for the QM or a different jetpunk administrator, but this quiz is featured on 08Dec2022 with the name of the daily holiday being Llama Day. However, google is telling me that day is actually on 09Dec2022.
Also, the periodic element one, that actually comes from latin.
