    I've been playing this over the last few days and I've definitely come across a handful of questions that aren't on the list. Maybe because I'm playing it in UK English mode but I'm not sure.

    UK English has a separate question/answer list (although many are in common). Us dumb American's can't be expected to know anything about soccer football. laugh

    See the zip file that is linked at the very start of the post. In there are the question sets for each language, including UK English.

    I just stuck with US English as that's what I wrote with originally and all my solutions and the WT use it so it was much easier to use that as the main list, but yes as Mike said ive linked his zip file with every language in it in the OP.

    Can't seem to get a hold of the file, one drive says it doesn't exist anymore or I don't have permissions? Any ideas?
