It seems like Austria Wien misses, 2013-2014 Group G with Atletico Madrid, Zenit and Porto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013–14_FK_Austria_Wien_season
have nominated this quiz . but you need to be a bit more lenient with some names , I scored 102 but wasted time on Leipzig and Gothenburg why these are not accepted i don't know. why do you need the RB before Leipzig when shorter names are accepted for others or Swedish spelling for Gothenburg .
The qualifiers for the 20-21 season just ended, so it's update time! The new teams are Stade Rennais (France), Basaksehir (Turkey), Krasnodar (Russia) and Midtjylland (Denmark). Additionally, Austria Wien (guess which country) have played Champions League in the past, but aren't in this quiz.
You need to add a hell if a lot more type ins. A lot of those clubs are not well known and blinking hard to spell. I wasted a lot of type typing and retyping some of the Turkish clubs in particular. The problem of type ins applies to a lot more than just them though
I'm genuinely interested to know how you thought the Turkish teams were spelled. Besiktas, Bursaspor, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor are spelled pretty much as they sound (in English at least). There are already reasonable type-ins for Basaksehir, and Fenerbahce, so you must have been way off with your spelling.
I'm all for having some acceptable type-ins, but I'm also very much an advocate of people actually learning how to spell the names.
I've just gone back over the list of type-ins, and, to paraphrase you, there are already a hell of a lot, so I'm also curious as to which ones you didn't get through misspelling.
I can’t remember now, but I know Fenerbahce and the final “a” in Galatasaray normally get me. You may allow type ins for these, I can’t remember how I spelt them.
This time I typed answers for Maccabi Tel Aviv and Kaiserslautern, and neither were accepted. Tiz possible I was way off in my spelling, but I Googled the latter.
Out of interest for the Istanbul team, which I didn’t remember, do you accept just Istanbul?
Ohh and the third and fifth Danish sides are ruddy hard to spell. No idea how many type ins you would need for them though, hundreds lol.
Hi. I tried writing in Petrzalka, Artmedia Petrzalka, Artmedia Bratislava, Bratislava ... and it seems like it desperately needs that ž in there, which is not a standard for JetPunk quizzes in my opinion. Otherwise great quiz, but needs to work on the acceptable answers (I also didn't get montpellier even though I typed it, though in other quizzes it is accepted)
I'm not sure what you mean by the ž needing to be there - I believe that the type-ins for any accented letters are set so that the accent isn't required (which is the JetPunk default, and I don't think can be changed), so "Petrzalka" should work without the need to type the "ž" in. (I think that's what you were trying to get at...). If I've missed your point completely then please let me know! Maybe you're referring to something specifically to do with the Slovak language that's eluding me 😂
I just tried the quiz, and Montpellier worked for me, so perhaps you misspelled it. The Regex type-in was also already set so that "Montpelier" (with a single L) is accepted. I believe that "Mountpel(l)ier" should also work, so there are already sufficiently-reasonable type-ins.
Great quiz, enjoyed that! Had to use spell check on a few, I knew the teams, I just couldn't work out how some of them are spelt... I mean Leicester is a tricky word!
Sorry to self promote, but I have a quiz on teams never to win the Champions League (got to the final but have never won) : https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/134559/teams-never-to-win-the-champions-league
Typing CSKA Sofia should not make Levski Sofia come up, as well as typing Omonia should not make APOEL come up. Not only they're entirely different teams, they're rivals.
I know it's not its official name, but could you accept it when someone types "Stade Rennes"? Ofcourse it's either Rennes or Stade Rennais, but then again, some other clubs are given way more easily. Congratulations on being featured, been doing this quiz regularly over time!
I think HJK should be accepted for HJK Helsinki. As a Finnish person I've never heard of it being referred to as HJK Helsinki but just HJK since it literally means Helsingin jalkapallokulbi (=Helsinki football club). But great quiz!
You should accept Legia instead of Legia Warsaw and Widzew instead of Widzew Łódź (for example, you don't have to type Chelsea London to get the full answer).
I have finally learned to spell Midtjylland, though I read it regularly as the club is linked to my beloved Brentford FC. (Whose name you are unlikely to need to learn to spell for this quiz.)
Usually a bit pedantic over spelling but I think one shouldn't be too strict on such a multilingual site as this.I'm in awe of the command of English so many Jetpunkers have when it is not their first language. I had several tries at the correct spelling for the Danish club above yet Man Utd and Spurs are acceptable, and a wild guess at Athens gives you a point. Wasn't given Kaiserslautern because I added one extra letter though. This is a problem overall in Jetpunk and I guess related to coding rather than the setters being awkward.
Sometimes, when I'm sure of an answer, I check the spelling with Google if I can't get it accepted. If I find I'm wrong I don't enter a different guess. Is this considered cheating?
Quite hard, I had many that I just mispelt or that didn't count, like standard liege I put standard luttich, the german name. Heerenveen I had just one e on the first double. I think more leniency should be given here.
There`s a quite a bit of spelling issues. So what. That`s part of the deal. No need to get annoyed. I spelled Borussia Mönchengladbach wrong. I may get over it.
Who are the new additions for this season? Girona, Villa (yes they've won it but never been in as the UCL, which this quiz asks for - Hence no Forest)... any others?
HJK will now work for HJK Helsinki (thanks to everyone for that suggestion).
Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova has also been added as they’ll be featuring in the Champions League for the first time this season!
I’ve also extended the time to 20 minutes.
Thanks everyone for playing! 🙌🏽

Don't ask why I guessed Union Berlin.
Though I think we're waiting on an update for this quiz.

(I was guessing Slovan Bratislava.)
Although surely if the OP typed “Mallorca” it should have been accepted anyway!?
Also, the list of acceptable answers needs to be revisited and expanded. "Legia" shouldn't also need "Warsaw".
Shouldn't "Gothenburg" work for "IFK Göteborg"?
If you accept "Barcalona" they why not "Locomotive Moscow"?
And as has been repeated multiple times here going back several years, "HJK" should suffice without the "Helsinki".
You should accept Legia instead of Legia Warsaw and Widzew instead of Widzew Łódź (for example, you don't have to type Chelsea London to get the full answer).
Legia and Widzew also added as type-ins!
(Don't get your point about Chelsea though - they aren't called Chelsea London, whereas Widzew Łódź is the name of the club)
Thanks for those suggestions though and thanks for playing!

(They both have at least one win)
Otherwise a really cool quiz
So maybe it would be fair to fill in Salzburg for Red Bull and RB Leipzig for the full name or Leipzig
