New Zealand loves their rugby.

The Dominican Republic loves baseball more than most Americans do. It's also a big deal in Japan, and becoming increasingly popular in South Korea and Taiwan.

Nothing incorrect here, but soccer is at least level with (if not ahead of) hockey in Russia and Sweden.

I think the biggest sport in Canada is probably Ice Hockey. It's NOT a stereotype. Talk to any Canadian guy about Hockey, and prepared to get your mind blown.

As DanielSA said, cricket isn't the most watched spectator sport, but yes - its taken quite seriously. A joke is, the most important job in the country is to be Australian Cricket Captain. Indians, take it to another level.

Have to say, enjoying the cricket at the moment (we are having a good run against the old dart )
