    America isn't a continent. The 2 continents are North America and South America.

    2. Cricket
    Fans: 2.5 billion

    Cricket’s popularity is in large part because of the British Empire and the East India Company, and their fervent determination to spread their culture across the world in their hopes of bringing ‘civilization’ to the different nations.

    As terrible as the intent may have been, this has grown to be a vastly popular sport in the UK, Asia, Australia and Africa – basically the British Colonies of old.

    It has a fan following of 2.5 billion people and is the second most viewed sport in the world.

    Seemingly badminton is the 2nd most played sport in the world. Cricket is 7th and golf is 10th. Are you golfing tomorrow?

    I'm a believer in the six-continent model.

    Anyways back to the football, Ireland ****ed already, France murdered the Dutch 4 nil although the Dutch sent 5 players home with a virus and De Jong and Bergwijn out injured, would have been a good time to play Holland instead we have the French on Monday! Greece had no problem dispatching Gibraltar 3 nil in the other match in our group.

    Apart from Guyana. Most of the islands are nearer the southern part of the American continent.
