It is really aNnoying when people on JetPunk feel the need to illustrate tYping errors on quizzes by using uppercase letters. If you had typed the discrepancy using lowercase, then I would have been able to see the difference. Using uppercase letters in this way is nothing more than a form of pAssive AgGression. Sometimes people make mistakes, and make typing errors; this is perfectly normal. I will get around to correcting this quiz in due course.

Great quiz. Just to let you know you misspelled 'Munich' for Lewandowski's departing club :)
