	Loved this quiz! Thanks Sporcle for Adding!

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 04:49 GMT	24 points
	I like these cities of European countries quizzes, it's an interesting mix of most populous cities you know from other quizzes and famous, historical ones that are less populous. Keep 'em coming, Sporcle!

	JohnJF:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	15 points
	I'm glad Sporcle took the initiative to credit the Bundesliga as a source of correct answers before every other person (including me) did.

	Great, another quiz of mine published. Hey, I have a bunch of city-country quizzes like these in the queue for the largest countries (not just Europe), and I'm wondering if I should do mid-sized countries once the larger ones get published. Vote me up if you agree. But I know I won't do every single, country of course.

	This quiz succeeds in making me think how many of these I should have known from Civilization. Other than that, nice quiz!

	RedLIon:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	14 points
	I've said it before and I'll say it again. I absolutely LOVE these quizzes. How about one for, say, Russia?

	ElDavo:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 05:20 GMT	29 points
	This quiz is too Germancentric. I, an ignorant American, have a problem with this one quiz not being entirely related to my own country and nobody else's.

	15, haha. Thanks, Bundesliga

	GeoExpert: I would like to see cities of Finland quiz :). I didn't do well at this, only got 5. Must try again.

	juusosieni:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 09:10 GMT	2 points
	Well, now I got 10. Is there a quiz for Australia already?

	nikodemus:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 10:35 GMT	1 point
	@juusosieni: I too am waiting for some Finland quizzes. Bundesliga is only a bit of help in this one. Hoffenheim is incredibly small town compared to TSG's stadium... hehe

	pdu:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 10:44 GMT	5 points
	@Nikodemus: Hoffenheim isn't even a town, it's a small village with less than 4000 inhabitants. It's in the Bundesliga because some rich guy started investing into it largely.

	As most of the people above say, these quizzes are great. More some!

	fatcat2:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 11:06 GMT	4 points
	9...10...11 is about the best I can do. I think we can all agree that the Bundeslinga is a great source of answers here - just as Sporcle is a great source of quizzes! I can't wait for more!

	Boomhauer:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 11:06 GMT	6 points
	Brilliant quiz. Can't believe it's finally here. Like I said about the Spanish Cities quiz, this is the kind of quiz Sporcle is great because of.

	GeordieGuitarist:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 11:49 GMT	6 points
	Despite what commentators in England tell you. The German league is the most exciting in the world. With 5 games to go last season, there was 6 teams with a realistic chance of winning the title. That doesn't include Hoffenheim who were at the top for a large part of the season. Plus tickets are FAR cheaper in Germany. Gutted i missed Bielefeld, considering i've been to their stadium.

	Nice quiz - knowledge of German football teams helped - can't believe I scraped in with Cologne with only 17 secs to spare

	Ireland:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 12:05 GMT	0 points
	Should have done better, only got 9!!

Comment below threshold: show it

	Jelle:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 16:54 GMT	5 points
	Love these ones as well. I wonder where Belgium is in the queue, probably just ahead of sao tome and principe. :(

	ZSP:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 17:20 GMT	3 points
	Hard to believe that even half of one percent didn't get Berlin, and almost as hard that 8% didn't get Munich.

	bobc:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 17:22 GMT	5 points
	ZSP, Not that hard to believe, some people get interrupted, lose the internet connection, or just don't care to finish.

	Bethannie:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 17:31 GMT	19 points
	Thanks for allowing the German spelling....but please, where there is an umlaut allow us to use the vowel followed by an 'e'. It is an accepted variant of the umlaut, and it is more correct than using an unmodified vowel.(yes, I know I'm a pedant...but it's my first language, I tend to be a little precious about it!)

	you gotta love germany and the BUNDESLIGA! most competitive league in Europe and truly the only league where parody exists.

	yes:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 19:39 GMT	6 points
	@GeoExpert: There's no harm in doing more geography quizzes. I freakin' love them.

	themistocles:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	8 points
	I thought Bielefeld didn't exist

	rahv:	Sep 6th, 2009 at 20:21 GMT	1 point
	just a tiny little detail: you should move the location for #20 a little bit to the east because it is located in baden-württemberg and not in rhineland-palatinate (although it _is_ right at the border).

	Thank you World Cup 2006.

	@juusosieni: Regarding Australia, the quiz on Most Populous Oceania Metro Areas has the 16 biggest metro areas in Australia. It also has the six biggest in New Zealand, the two biggest in Papua new Guinea, and the biggest in Fiji.

	I got 10/20 all thanks to the Bundesliga!

	shawnoc:	Sep 8th, 2009 at 14:59 GMT	1 point
	The bundesliga (and the bundesliga clue from sporcle) was the only thing that saved this quiz for me. BTW, does that mean Leverkusen and Schalke aren't cities or aren't large enough? I also got Hamburg and Frankfurt, because yesterday was Labor Day and I had plenty of their exports.

	adal:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 14:36 GMT	3 points
	@shawnoc: Schalke is not a city - the city is Gelsenkirchen, which isn't large enough (but not all that far off). Leverkusen is a city, but quite a bit smaller.

	Wow.... hard quiz only got Dusseldorf and a couple easier ones.

	Corclod:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 12:46 GMT	2 points
	Huh - I knew that Wuppertal and Bielefeld weren't exactly the smallest towns, but I'd never thought that they were in fact among the most populous cities!

	@Jess I'm German and I only got 14. Shamer on me.

	It should give credit for Duesseldorf, given that that's a legitimate spelling for those without umlauts on the keyboard.
