Using LOWER CASE and NO PUNCTUATION, name the clubs in all UEFA members' top level leagues. SEE NAMING NOTES BELOW. TIME BONUSES available for categories and countries.
NOTES - TIP: try to complete a couple countries to gain some time early on. There are 52 UEFA members with top level leagues (Liechtenstein is part of the Swiss league). Champions refers to the latest champion in each country's top level league. UEFA CL refers to the participants of the 2012-13 Champions League (incl qualifying rounds). UEFA Europa refers to participants in the 2012-13 Europa league (also incl qualifying rounds and those which came from the CL). You can MOUSEOVER a marker to see the city where the club is based. ***NAMING NOTES*** DO NOT include the common abbreviations for football club, i.e. "FC," "FK," "NK" etc. Abbreviations that are NOT for something like "football club" are typically required. You DO NOT have to include the city name UNLESS there are multiple clubs with a common name. City names are necessary when they are mostly or fully the name of the club. Some abbreviations are accepted but in general NICKNAMES are NOT. Example: for a team named "FC London" just "london" is required. For "FC Dynamo London" you would need "dynamo london" as there are other "Dynamo" teams throughout UEFA.

	a large European football quiz here. I tried to keep the team naming fairly easy, but don't want nicknames - am looking for something official or very close. Let me know of names I need to include and I will add them.

	bsd987:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 16:54 GMT		3 points
	Can you have it so that the marker disappears when you name the team?

	darinh:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 16:57 GMT		2 points
	ahh i will fix that - some are disappearing but not all, fixing now.

	Nikiforenko:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 17:04 GMT		4 points
	Good idea, but a little bit too hard in some cases, I think. Some names are 'too official', as you understand what I mean. For instance: Stade Brest is only working if you guess 'Stade Brestois 29' and Deportivo la Coruna isn't working without 'Real Club'.

	darinh:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 17:05 GMT		2 points
	i will add those as alternates, let me know of more.

	Nikiforenko:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 17:38 GMT		4 points
	Some first tries: Netherlands: no problems France: might be good to add Stade Rennes and Olympique Lyon as alternates. Spain: I would suggest to accept Deportivo la Coruna (instead of 'de la') too. It depends on your language what is the most common used name. The Dutch Wiki is called Deportivo la Coruna, the French one says Deportivo la Corogne. Since Deportivo Alaves is not in the Primera Division, just 'Deportivo' might be enough. Some other Spanish clubs with Real in their name are only accepted without 'Real'. Like Real Valladolid, Real Mallorca, Real Betis and Real Zaragoza. Portugal: I tried everything to get Sporting Portugal accepted, but it doesnt work with every name I can find. Same for Nacional (da Madeira).

	It's a nice idea but so difficult to know what names you accept. When you're against the clock and you're trying to work out whether a team has been relagted or you just need to try another name it just makes it irritating rather than fun. Sporting Lisbon I couldn't get accepted at all. And I guess I don't really understand why teams like newcastle and bordeaux can't just be accepted by their city names when that's what they're commonly called and they have no inter city rivals.

	Germany: I can't get Hoffenheim. The problem might be that you're expecting '1899 Hoffenheim', but the entry field doesn't accept numbers in some cases. Apart of that, I would suggest to accept more answers without years; now you do accept Schalke without 04, but you reject Mainz without 1905. /////// Italy: In Italy something like that with Bologna (1909). And I think hardly anyone would talk about 'Citta di Palermo' instead of Palermo.

	removed the year number requirement. added some new alternatives based on suggestions above. also i do want to have words like "United" required, so leaving Newcastle and Bordeaux's team names as they are...but open to more suggestions, knew there would be some alternatives needed to be added - thanks for your help!

	mucciniale:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 18:23 GMT		3 points
	Nobody in Italy can guess Bologna 1909, is comon named only "Bologna". That said great job as always! Big fan of darinh from Italy!!!!!

	darinh:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 18:37 GMT		1 point
	e fissato - sono grande fan d'Italia dagli Stati Uniti :)

	Nikiforenko:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 19:04 GMT		3 points
	Romania: please add Dinamo Bucharest as alternative for Dinamo Bucuresti. And if Petrolul is accepted, than Otelul should be accepted without Galati. ////// Denmark: Accept Odense BK without BK: it's just Danish for FC ;-).

	bmcnamee:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 19:14 GMT		2 points

	darinh:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 19:48 GMT		2 points
	added - thanks.

	Portugal: Something goes wrong with Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, when I type Benfica I can't get Sporting Lisbon anymore and vice versa. Maybe you mixed up some alternative answers? Then a list of alternatives for the teams: Pacos Ferreira, Vitoria Guimaraes, Estoril, Sporting CP, Nacional, Vitoria Setubal.

	hilco:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 20:17 GMT		1 point
	Italy: Almost everything is okay here, but accept Internazionale as alternative for Inter Milan. Spain: Maybe accept just Sociedad for Real Sociedad, but that's it for Spain.

	hilco:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 20:35 GMT		1 point
	Germany: Although someone with football knowledge should get them all, there's a lack of consistency here. You accept Dortmund without Borussia, but not Monchengladbach without Borussia. I would say you'd require to type Borussia for both of them. Most unique prefixes are accepted but these are not: Greuther (for Greuther Furth) and Bayern (for Bayern Munchen).

	Thx darinh, was waiting for this too!!! Some remarks... Germany: Fürth really should accepted, no rivale there. // Portugal: I can't get Benfica at all.

	The flash games that you do so well are no longer showing up for me. I used to be able to play them but this has changed. I am unable to see the flash screen component. The inability to play is on both my Mac at home and PC at work. Any proposed solutions?

	darinh:	Feb 20th, 2013 at 12:37 GMT		2 points
	@curt: i googled flash issues and it seems to be there are issues with firefox and the latest adobe flash upgrade. I would try Chrome (most recommended) or IE. I have seen no issues with Chrome at all. or you could search for a fix to the Firefox/Flash issues, I think it may involve uninstalling Adobe's latest updates or something.

	I type in wigan, but it won't take it for english premier league

	guide:	Feb 28th, 2013 at 17:56 GMT		3 points
	I admire the pedantry but really there are just too many necessary ones to list. Maybe I will make a more comprehensive list later but Lyon and Marseille should be good enough (I know they are just the names of the cities but this is how they are commonly referred to. I couldn't believe "FB" was necessary for Esbjerg. "Athletic Club" is the actual name of the club that are commonly called Athletic Bilbao so that should certainly be accepted. There are a few more like that I think, such as Sporting vs Sporting Lisbon etc. This is a great quiz though and I will certainly be favoriting it and playing it a lot.

	guide:	Feb 28th, 2013 at 17:59 GMT		5 points
	Also given the results I would say you should lower the bar for some of the answers. Most people are just getting the 100+ clubs and that's it. 15 entire countries is WAY too high for the first milestone in that category and "All" Champions/CL/Europa League should probably have some more accessible steps as well.

	guide:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 22:35 GMT		3 points
	I have played this quiz a few times intending to make a comprehensive list of necessary alternates but I would just suggest going to the Wikipedia page for each league's 2012-13 season and accept at minimum the name used in the table. They are pretty accurate as far as using names that are standard in media, etc. I know that you want to minimize the ability to just name cities but in many cases that is the only way that the club is referred to 99.5% of the time. No one ever calls Bordeaux "Girondins" etc etc etc.

	guide:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 22:41 GMT		3 points
	Oh, I just noticed why everyone is having a tough time with Sporting. You have Sporting and Benfica as the same club somehow. There is one club Sport Lisboa e Benfica that should be triggered by Benfica and another club called Sporting Clube de Portugal which should be triggered by Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Clube, arguably just Sporting, etc.

	maybe later you can make the South American version--that would be REALLY challenging

	darinh:	Mar 2nd, 2013 at 18:40 GMT		-1 points
	fixed some names..i will leave some clubs like Lyon's as is as there is part of the name I want to leave intact and not just have the city.

	ctbone123:	Mar 3rd, 2013 at 00:10 GMT		0 points
	Fun quiz. I actually did this a couple years ago, but with as many tiers as possible, and for basically the entire World. Didn't think to put it on sporcle though, I was just curious where all the soccer teams were located.

	Hazl:	Mar 3rd, 2013 at 01:13 GMT		1 point
	It claims there's another club in Stavanger after accepting both Viking and Sandnes Ulf. Any idea what's going on there?

	carles_puyol:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 15:46 GMT		2 points
	I cant get Baumit Jablonec and Arsenal Kiev.

	carles_puyol:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 15:51 GMT		1 point
	Antalyaspor should be also accepted

	guide:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 17:23 GMT		3 points
	Why do you want to leave it as part of the name, though? It would be like demanding "University of" on everything for a college sports quiz, for example. To a soccer/football fan it makes no sense.

	johnlk:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 20:36 GMT		4 points
	I don't see why "Lyon" and "Marseille" and other universally known names should be unacceptable.

	johnlk:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 20:44 GMT		3 points
	If you want to make it harder, remove the clue that says what city the club's in, don't demand that we give obscure official names.

	sam2249:	Mar 5th, 2013 at 21:49 GMT		1 point
	All Irish clubs are fine, but could you please accept St Pats Athletic for the Dublin club?

	darinh:	Mar 6th, 2013 at 12:37 GMT		2 points
	will make some more changes later today.

	mshilcrat:	Mar 7th, 2013 at 03:09 GMT		1 point
	Need to accept Flora Tallinn, Tammeka Tartu, Paide Linnameeskond, Banga Gargzdai, and Ravan Baku

	Flora missing is the reason 0% of people have finished the CL
