	Holland should work for the Netherlands, but only if they pay him more than minimum wage. tumbleweed

	thefailure - Holland shouldn't be accepted for the Netherlands because Holland is a region within the Netherlands. The country is called the Netherlands, not Holland. It'd be like accepting Texas instead of United States.

	Australia, that giant landmass, has less people on it than Ghana. Wow.

	phdstudent:	Jul 4th, 2010 at 04:27 GMT		2 points
	I will keep the Netherlands as the only acceptable answer, even though the World Cup broadcasters here in the US sometimes call them Holland.

	@ yeh but to be fair, the majority of inland australia is the desert/outback or forests. So quite hard for humans to make a living there miles away from the coasts and all the major cities

	Good stuff! With these numbers in mind, Slovenia should be quite proud of that draw with USA :)

	Well, one of my primary motivations was to show how incredible Uruguay's semifinal run really is, considering the extremely small pool of potential national team soccer players they have to choose from, because the majority of their 3 million citizens are not males from age 18-38.

	Whew! Got it all with 17 seconds left to spare. Love soccer.

	You should really accept "Holland", even some of their officially licensed jerseys say "Holland". I mean... It's the same deal as "England" which is not itself a country, but lends its own team to the world cup

	@ phdstudent the majority of females in the US are not ages 18-38 (though I wish)

	Can you accept Korea Republic and Korea DPR as well? I got them both, but after I instinctively typed in UK for England and it didn't work, I started using the team names instead of actual country names.

	phdstudent:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 06:21 GMT		1 point
	I thought I did accept those for the Koreas, sorry. I will change that.

	Thank you! :)

	Oh yes! Completed it with exactly 10 seconds to go.

	I am from the Netherlands, and we call our country Holland too. It is indeed a region, but of a more historical than geographical kind. It would be a bit like accepting America for the United States, so plese change it.

	phdstudent:	Jul 11th, 2010 at 23:49 GMT		1 point
	I would never accept America for the United States. America covers the entire landmass from Canada down to the southern tips of Argentina and Chile. I understand the history of the name for Holland, but I am merely following standard Sporcle norms when accepting only the Netherlands as the name.
