One point game at or close to the half. I really suck at sports trivia.

For the countries question, I was choosing between 5 countries I was confident on, 4 were wrong, and I skipped Turkey, thinking it'd be a huge answer. Should have considered Ryan's comment that it was the most missed question ever.

J-Lo, I actually thought Messi was much younger than he is. Always thought of him as a young phenom, but I guess he is towards the peak of his career, and closer to decline. The older I get, the faster athletes age through their careers.
