A very challenging and fun quiz. My only complaint is that you have this as a landmine quiz. It would be nice to see the answers that I missed without having to look them up.

Very good quiz. However, in terms of many MLS teams, the city is part of the name, such as DC United or FC Dallas. You would never refer to FC Barcelona as FC, so the city names should be included in the minefield.

I agree with the landmine comment. I'd love to see the ones I missed because I know they're all AFL, WNBA, and CFL teams haha.

@redcobra7 I have changed the mistake that you noticed. Thank you for telling me. @Theosaurus and j1h15233 I like a 'minefield' game more than a 'landmines' but if there are a few more requests for 'landmines', I will change that.

What I was getting at is that I don't think that their should landmines or a minefield, because I'd like to be able to see which answers I missed without having to look them up.

The Alabama Vipers were an AFL team in 2009. It doesn't specify current or defunct teams, it just says teams. Maybe clarify? Other than that, good quiz.

@Almost everyone. I have specified that I mean current team nicknames and, to popular demand, I have changed it from a minefield to just decoy answers.

I assume "CFL Team" is referring to the as yet unnamed Ottawa expansion team...I don't think it should be included because that's not a team nickname, just a placeholder. BTW I still got 'minefielded' by a wrong answer.

@ Stewart. When I was creating this quiz, I was looking at a list of CFL teams and 'Ottawa CFL Team' was one of them. I did not notice that the Ottawa team name hadn't been decided yet. As for the minefield, I have no idea what happened. Try the quiz again. It should not be a minefield.

I have decided to change the game back to a minefield. Feel free to give your opinions about this.

Wait, there isn't a professional team named the Xenophobes? Imagine their marketing strategy.

I love that Mercury is next to the Mets. Reminds me of this freak show: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4822432179_fb295b6ba9_o.jpg

19(MLS)+8(CFL)+12(WNBA)+32(NFL)+30(NBA)+30(NHL)+30(MLB)=161 teams. Why are there 167 answers? Something isn't right...

@dlte. There are also AFL teams.

If you added the AFL teams, it would be more than 167, but there are also teams that share nicknames. For example, New York's NFL team and Winnipeg's NHL team.

Due to how you guys voted down my "changing back to minefield" comment & Pogues's comment received 4 positive votes, I have changed it to a quiz with decoy answers
