Considering the only time I watch football is when my boyfriend puts it on I'm pretty pleased with a score of 49/92 and getting all the Premiership teams (although a lot of those are probably more down to my geography knowledge...I started thinking of train stations I've been through).
I'm also an American and not a sports fan in general, so I was feeling good about getting 29...until the quiz ended and I earned 0 points. Fair enough I suppose, since I only knew a handful of teams and got the rest by guessing places in the UK.
Same here. 0 points. I got 36 and felt that was descent for an American who gets very little if any coverage of English football. Got several from watching Ted Lasso.
Great quiz, although 'Mansfield' should be accepted for Mansfield Town, and 'Newport' should be accepted for Newport County, as those are the common versions of their names.
This is true. It's Nottingham Forest, even though the ground is in the county, and Notts County, even though the ground is in the city. Never Notts Forest.
I don't know what the sports environment is like in Australia, but knowing 20 Premier League teams would be spectacularly unusual for an American. Most American trivia buffs who would visit a site like this probably only know 4 - 6 at most, and your average American on the street would probably know exactly 0. Hell, most Americans probably only know a couple *American* soccer teams. The sport just doesn't have the profile in this part of the world as baseball, basketball, ice hockey, or (American) football, and especially not teams from Europe. You don't just randomly come across those teams or games in the typical sports news, for example. The only people in the US who know a lot of Premier League teams (much less Championship, League One, or League Two teams) are the small number of hardcore fans who actively seek out British soccer games on TV or online.
Yeah, I'm one of those Americans who didn't do well, but I do have a nitpick - I typed Exeter, York, and Coventry and it gave them all to me, but when I typed Bristol it did not. Similarly I typed Leeds, Oxford, and Cambridge and it gave them to me, but when I typed Sheffield it did not.When I typed Manchester it gave me United but not City. Seems a bit inconsistent in places, but admittedly I'm just trying to squeeze a couple more onto my abysmal score of 14.
In cities with only one team, it will accept the answer if you type the city name (that is how those particular teams are commonly known anyway). For cities with more than one team (e.g. Bristol, Sheffield) typing just the city name won't work as you are not specifying a particular team. Just typing Manchester shouldn't work - that would suggest a glitch (which has since been ironed out).
Hadn't looked to see which teams were promoted into the FA this year. Luckily both had only been relegated in the past 2 seasons, so they were guessable.
Boom! 92/92 without cheating all right well maybe for the league 2 teams but only some I don't really follow league 2 football only league 1 and the Premiership
For god sake, done this a few times now and missed Morecambe and Rochdale every time and I have been to a Morecambe game before! (when I was a kid and we were on holiday there, was an absolute dystopia).
1) Percentage of Jetpunk users is the relevant figure. 2) The UK doesn't represent the other 96% of the world, you know. The sport is known as Jalkapallo, Nogomet, 足球, Calcio, and كرة القدم to many people.
'Soccer' is a British term, and was as common as 'football' right up until the 1970s, even into the 80s. Look at any old news reports (e.g. Pathé) on Youtube of matches, and the word soccer is used more often than football is. There is nothing American about the word soccer.
Yes but it was a very posh word not used so much by the normal folk. hence why the word "football" is the only word used now.
and the words we that we use now are what's important because otherwise you could use your argument to say some horrible things to black people etc. because it "used" to be common parlance
Bottom of League 1 was interesting to watch this year. I was more surprised that AFC Wimbledon managed to avoid relegation after being below the line for 2/3 of the season.
Also, try The Grand European Football Quiz that includes top levels from: England, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Netherlands & also Champions League and Euro League group stages.
It's 2018-19 for the moment, but may you be interested it'll be updated and edited as soon as all info for 19-20 is available.
Bristol City worked for Bristol thus making me miss Bristol Rovers as I assumed they must have dropped out the league if Bristol was accepted for City.
I know nothing about English soccer, but I named every community I could think of in England and Wales and got 32/92. I think that's pretty good, but it's worth 0/5.
The name of the quiz is not technically correct, as the Football League refers to three divisions below the Premier League. Also the logo used for the quiz is that of the EFL (English Football League) so does not cover the Premier League.
The other thing that might need a little adjusting is for Bristol: when typing in Bristol the team Bristol City is accepted, but you have to type in Bristol Rovers separately. This does not follow what happens with other city names with multiple teams (Sheffield) where you have to specifically name each team.
This won't affect results at all, but I think you've got Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday in the wrong leagues for next season. Was wondering how United could have dropped two tiers, from PL to L1.
Got 74/92. Feel good about myself since I live in the US and rarely watch League One and I got most of those. I got all of Championship except for Hull City how did I miss that?? Great quiz to test my knowledge on English Soccer!
Yes got them all with 5 seconds to spare. Question tho, why is it when you type Bristol it accepts only Bristol City. Where as to accept Bristol Rovers you have to type it in full.
One of the few quizzes that needs type-ins removing, not adding. Shouldn't accept "Bristol" for Bristol City when there's also Bristol Rovers, or "Forest" for Nottingham Forest when there's Forest Green Rovers.
Very happy with my 73 with love from Australia

My team Cambridge United get 61% recognition, and our main rivals Peterborough only get 44%.
That in my view makes it a great quiz.
