  1. Why is there only one question on tennis and more of­ football. I love rugby and there is not much on that­ either. Football is not the only sport played in this­ country.Give a fair representation of all the other­ sports

  3. Thanks Danny h. Thats my point why not call it what it­ is a football quiz. To think there is not even a­ question on our national sport as its certainly not­ football so how could this be called a SPORTS quiz as­ its clearly not.

  4. No-one gives a @#$% about golf, F1 cricket or rugby.­ That's why it's mostly football.

  5. The guy "joestuffe" is right in what he is­ saying it should be 1 question from all sports not 4­ football 2 golf and split the rest up. You could get­ more questions right just by following one thing that­ does not make this a sports quiz.
