Watch Manchester City's Vincent Kompany take NFL quiz and react to crunching football hits
In case you've been living under a rock, the Super Bowl is on Sunday. It's not just the biggest sporting event in the U.S. — with it airing in over 170 countries, it's one of the biggest events in the world, too.
Manchester City have been doing their part to get ready for the big event by having Man City defender and Belgian international Vincent Kompany familiarize himself with the sport.
On Saturday, he took the NFL logo challenge ... though he seemed to struggle with a running theme:

Kompany does a pretty respectable job here, but he gets a couple of birds mixed up: A Falcon doesn't quite look like a Cardinal, but it's easy to see how he got tripped up. If the Falcons manage to beat the New England Patriots at the Super Bowl on Sunday (FOX, 6:30 p.m. ET), it's a pretty safe bet that Kompany and more of his overseas compadres will be more familiar with Atlanta's NFL team.
Also, Kompany got a strike against him for saying the "San Francisco Giants" — but naming an actual American sports team has to be worth a partial point. How many cricket teams in England could you name?
His NFL logo quiz follows up another bit he did with Manchester City this week where he reacts to NFL hits. He seems to be in pain just watching some of it:

It's pretty safe to say every one of those tackles would be red cards if they happened on the soccer pitch.
Kompany is probably glad he plays his type of football after watching that video.
