Amazing quiz, 100% but the questions are pitched at just the right level of difficulty for me, not too easy, not too obscure. Thanks a lot.

Is it just me, or does the explanation for question 14 not make sense? The question is about Brazil losing to England, while the answer is about penalties and Norway...
