Wow, this was quite hard. I got all of the left column Italy and Northern Ireland, then I started guessing all the prior British colonies. After than, I started just guessing countries by proximity to the UK. I never thought to go back and fill the the soccer powerhouses of Argentina and Brazil :(

Very interesting quiz, Malbaby. You may want to allow "Cruyff" as a correct answer, though, without also requiring his first name.

I was surprised that Norway beat out both Denmark and Sweden, since I think of both of those as much stronger soccer countries than Norway.

Never seen any Premier League and got them all in 55 seconds. Consider taking off 2 minutes?

Also, 3 blocks might look better as there will be an even split of 6 rows per block instead of one block with 8 rows and one block with 9 rows.

I suspect there are a lot of British-born players who have a Jamaican parent or grandparent and register to play for Jamaica if they don't expect to make the England squad.
