That would mean potentially letting other countries win though, I doubt Americans would want that.

Well, if the right to play wasn't locked behind being part of the commonwealth until 1970 maybe the sport would have a better presence on the international scene. And yes, pakistan was a part of the British empire. India counts for more then half of the total of cricket fans in the world, so yeah outside the old British empire, no one knows it.

I though that one was called rugby ?

I think you are mistaking with the one called soccer, then again I'm not too sure about the rules, I think only 1 player is allowed to touch the ball with their hands. The braincell part is on point though.

Guess my country wasn't "civilized" by British colons to make it a revelant sport.

But if playing against yourselfs and calling it a worldcup is what makes you guys happy, who I my to say overwise ;)

Is that the game where you push a wooden ball under little metal arcs with a big wood hammer ?

I used to play it as a kid, it was pretty fun, we had plastic hammers though to make it less dangerous.
