Talkin' cricket
Oh really? Cricket!? Lol.

Nope
More like Spanish and Portuguese former colonies. Since USA, Canada, Australia, India, etc not that great at football ⚽
India is beating UK at cricket.

Good thing i'm taking about cricket then. You know, the one actually played by india, australia, pakistan, west indies, new zealand. Etc
Rugby is popular in the Commonwealth
