For those of us in Europe (note this is a somewhat restricted version of Europe)

And for the North Americans among us

I'll bet you the Europeans beat the Americans.

Left out Cyprus. Vatican City is considered a country? Why have they no international soccer team then?

Clean sweep in Europe but two wrong in N. America.  Forgot St. Lucia and it wouldn't accept The Grenadines for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Annoying Caribbean islands.

Got Dun Laoghaire correct from a Boomtown Rats LP my Da has but fell for the old 'thinking it was a trick question' as it seems Monaghan town is actually in County Monaghan in Ireland and not 3 miles outside Montevideo in Uruguay. They sure know how to phrase the questions to put people astray.
