I know nothing about cricket but would love to watch a few matches - my love affair with Midsomer Murders has peaked my interest after seeing the game played several times in different episodes. It appears that the ICC has sold exclusive programming rights in the US to the Willow channel, which is only available through paid subscription.

Feel free to make suggestions, and to create your own quiz!

Cycling was on here before. The level of whining about Lance Armstrong's inclusion was epic. Personally, I've written off the whole sport as tainted.

Rugby would probably be a good addition.

I may try to create some other quizzes, but probably not about sport. Which doesn't mean that I don't like sport and taking quizzes like this one. I'm sure you understand that it's rather frustrating for a Belgian that half of the answers of a quiz named "All time sports champions" are about mostly american sports. I'm just asking for slight adjustments. As for cycling, I understand your point of view, but Armstrong is not the only cyclist in history... if you change your mind, you could include Eddy Merckx or the country who won the most world championships, something like that ;).

Margaret Court's record is not relevant anymore. Winning grand slams before the Open Era is not even close to an equivalent effort as winning a grand slam today.

Serena should be on the list here.

Thanks for making the quiz, but I'm not sure why the NHL is given such short shrift here. Scotty Bowman's 9 Cup Championships rank up there with other big league coaches records, and Henri Richard's 11 Cup wins as a player is tied with Bill Russell for most big league championships for an individual player.

Level 67
Mar 12, 2021
I don't object to the inclusion of women's college basketball, but suggesting it warrants equal measure to the men's game is a little disingenuous. The men's game is vastly more popular. I just looked it up: in 2019, 19.6 million people watched the men's final. 3.7 million watched the women's. That's not even close.

Plenty of countries use 'soccer', it's not just the US. Canada, Ireland, Australia, NZ, South Africa, all use it to one degree or another. It also used to be commonly used in Britain until about the 1990s (although never official or as frequently used as 'football', it was still used often enough within the sport by players, managers, in the press, and by sections of the public).

It is short for 'association football', and is a shorthand term to differentiate that sport from rugby football. Originally a term used in the UK, it spread to other countries (USA, Philippines, South Africa, and a few others) where it became the primary word used for the sport.

Great Quiz for US-based users. Not a criticism but its difficult to get more than 1 point on many JetPunk Sport quizes if you're not from US.

I dont blame JetPunk as most users of the site are probably based in the US. But it would be nice option if JetPunk had a filter/drop-down to select if the user is US or Rest of the World based. Then use that info to determine how many points you get. Or at least then provide some stat info to figure out what a good score is for non-US users. Otherwise the scores are always going to look disappointing.

For tennis grand slams, either change it to specify "singles" grand slams, or change the answer for men to Roy Emerson (28) and the number for Court to 64.

Also, it's odd that when there is a tie, you ask for both names for men's (singles) grand slam wins, but either of the two for most super bowls by a team.

I think women's sports should have a larger part in this quiz. They aren't as widely followed, unfortunately, but I think Women's World Cup (I'm American, sue me) and perhaps women's basketball (WNBA, NCAAW) could be included.

Level 66
Feb 23, 2022
The problem is that, as you said, that they simply are nowhere near as popular as men's sports, besides a few exceptions. I don't think many people could name a single WNBA or NCAAW team, and I don't really know how popular the Women's World Cup is outside the U.S. (and it's not even that popular within the U.S. compared to other sports). Nobody would get those answers.

The Premier League (or Premiership) started in 1992. That answer of 13 incorporates all wins after that (there were 7 top division wins before).

The Champions League also started in 1992. Up until then it was a straight knock-out competition between the national champions and the holders. Oddly, the Champions League incorporated non-champions. But the answer of 13 is not right - it should be either 7 (there were 6 before the ECL) in line with the Premier League thinking or the wording should be European Cup/Champions League titles.

Really, since football wasn't invented in 1992, only money was, the two clues should be 'European Club Champions' and 'English League Champions' or something like that, and the answers 13 and 20 respectively.

+1
Level 69

I wholeheartedly agree.

I think the best wording would be this:

English First Division / Premier League Titles:

20 - Manchester United

UEFA European Cup / Champions League Titles:

15 - Real Madrid

(Though I do agree with Camus's argument earlier that there isn't a strong case for including the English top flight over La Liga, Serie A, or the Bundesliga).
