Cricket, as much as you disagree Apo, cricket is in the top 5 world wide. Even though it isnt played in the States, it was invented in Europe, and is played as one of the most popular sports (as popular as soccer in italy) in third wolrd countries, and a few of the best countries in the world (South Africa and Jamacia) and is played as in the top 3 most popular sports here in Australia.

Cricket rocks, coming very close behind id Aussie Rules :D
