	Typing J-League (or J League) would be enough for the Japan option

	Loved the quiz, but should have to be more specific with Russian and Egyptian leagues. Should have added Portugal and Greek leagues. (any bonuses?)

	what about the Mexican League?

	I came to specifically type in "NFL" (because the main page said i'd find 'no love here') and nothing happened. Where's the no love? ;)

	Egyptian and Russian Premier Leagues as well as the Brazilian Serie A should be more specific. I only know four leagues on here, but got credit for 7 because of those 3.

	mls would be proud of this top ranking in the public conscience, even if it is mostly americans

	I usually hate it when people come in and say "why not x or y" on quizzes but there's a finite number of soccer leagues out there, I think a lot more could have been added without making the overall difficulty too oppressive. Basically, if you know the Chinese and Turkish leagues, you'd probably know the Mexican, Scottish and Czech leagues too, and if not, you might at least get one you know.

	I got 15, missed China, Paraguay and Cameroon.

	Got to love the Chinese name, better than la liga or serie a or the premiership

	Why is Fútbol Profesional Colombiano not acceptable as answer for the Colombian top league despite it being the answer that appears? That makes no sense!

	Can't Le Championnat be accepted as a alternative answer for the French league?

	Alasdair:	May 30th, 2009 at 10:12 GMT	2 points
	Great idea for a quiz, there should be one for the reigning champions of these leagues (and others) too.

	@Matthew: Yeah, I tried NFL as well, thinking maybe "we told you so" or something along those lines would come up.

	Let's stick to one sport eh Dave? Otherwise we'll have to figure out what the top game called football is in that country AND THEN remember its league's name. I had trouble enough getting 12 on this quiz, without that added complication!

	DRB:	May 30th, 2009 at 10:45 GMT	2 points
	La Liga refers to the whole Spanish League. The top division is called Primera Liga.

	expat:	May 30th, 2009 at 11:37 GMT	2 points
	In Argentina it is Primera A not Primera Division. There is a Primera A and Primera B (the second tier). Saludos.

	Lucy:	May 30th, 2009 at 12:28 GMT	-1 points
	Damn, for France I put 'League 1'. How annoying.

	KingLatifah:	May 30th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT	1 point
	Why isn't the English Premier League not called the Premiership anymore?

	nickisposh:	May 30th, 2009 at 12:47 GMT	2 points
	Won't accept "Futbol Profesional Colombiano", which seems odd. Should be more league included IMO. Why not have top divisions for places like Mexico, Sweden, Korea, India, South Africa, Portugal, Belgium, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland etc?

	fatfifer:	May 30th, 2009 at 13:30 GMT	0 points
	a bit confusing as to whether it wanted the name of the entire league or the top division within the league

	davidr:	May 30th, 2009 at 14:35 GMT	-3 points
	@Goonerlover66 and Nick: It is accepted but, at the moment, you have to include the accent, as they forgot to make the un-accented version an alternative.

	johnlk:	May 30th, 2009 at 15:12 GMT	-1 points
	I think the implication of davidr's comment that everyone seems to hate is that they should specifically say "association football" somewhere, rather than just football, not that Australian Football League or NFL should be accepted.

	Finally, three straight years of doing nothing but playing FIFA 07 put to good use.

	no FMF!!!!??? that is the premier north american league!! Also LOL at it accepting EPL, I bet the Brits are pissed.

	Joseph Geary:	May 30th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT	1 point
	"Premier League" granting three answers is a bit much, isn't it? I kind of assumed I would have to type FA Premier League, but instead I got Russia and Egypt without having the faintest idea that their leagues were named as such.

	delToro87:	May 30th, 2009 at 20:26 GMT	-1 points
	I was convinced 'Ligue Une' was the right league for France, I think this should be accepted, as that's what it will be called quite often.

	delToro87:	May 30th, 2009 at 20:27 GMT	-3 points
	Especially as 'Ligue Une' is accepted, but 'League One' isn't - either the English should be accepted or full translation, not half and half!

	@davidr: I kept typing it to no avail, the only reason I got the answer in the end was because I used it's sponsorship name: Mustang Cup.

	Missing Korea's K-League

	I kept trying Futbol Profesional Colombiano until I got decided to try FPC and it accepted that. It needs to be changed.

	davidr: It says football. Not American football, not rugby football. For a man of knowledge you should creep out of your sportshole and recognize that there's only one sport called football for real in the world. And it's the only sport that can be called football. Hell, the best kickers in NFL are European fellas who went to college in America and weren't good enough to play football but they learned how to kick a ball while playing.

	@Art Vandeley: Why would `the Brits be pissed' at EPL being accepted? The league is just for England, not the whole of the UK, so it's correct, in this case, to call it English. The Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish have their own leagues and their own national teams. (A couple of Welsh teams also play in lower leagues in England but there aren't any in the Premier League.)

	This is what is definetely interpretted as 'football' internationally, not much more to it really. Although i think the premiership should be a suitable answer for the premier league...

	Dubliner :	May 31st, 2009 at 16:11 GMT	1 point
	I remember as a kid in school one of the teachers taking the p**s out of us , by asking what is the difference between the League of Ireland and the Irish League ? And yes they exist ! Those who know the answer get a free tour of Belfast's graveyards or Bunratty Castle ;)?

	ArtVandaley:	May 31st, 2009 at 18:12 GMT	-2 points
	@david to people in the UK it is "The Premiership" or "THE Premier League". Just like it is "THE Open Championship" and not "The British Open" in golf. I know many brits that cringe at the acronym "EPL".

	Lenzo:	May 31st, 2009 at 20:10 GMT	0 points
	@Dubliner, League of Ireland is the league for the Republic & the Irish league is for the North. Although been Irish & supporting a LOI club I would know that!
