	Good quiz, this is why not many athletes from beyond the United states go global in fame. Table tennis? Sloop sailing? I can just see that poster of the Champion sloop sailor hanging up in my kids bedroom soon.

	please define "de facto" -- england's national sport is arguably football (soccer) and not cricket based on sheer spectator numbers and amount of amateur players. Without knowing what criteria you are judging by this quiz becomes "what number am I thinking of?" "hockey" should get "field hockey" because to some of us these are entirely synonymous. I never even thought to put "field hockey" because it's never called that in the UK -- there's hockey and there's ice hockey. Overall good idea though.

	I had no idea that just "hockey" ever referred to Field Hockey, but I'll change that immediately. I got a little too focused on US terminology :( Also, de facto here is referring to the general acceptance of that sport being the national sport, although it is not written in law. I can find multiple sources citing Cricket as the national sport, although I can see the argument for Football and I'll change it just because of the problem of it being so objective in that case.

	I like how lacrosse works for Canada, but since they're co-official, I think you should have the answer show up as both of them. Fun quiz.

	Also, "Gaelic football" and "Hurling" should work for "Gaelic games"

	How come "soccer" gets accepted as "cricket"? They're very different games, unless the Brits call cricket, soccer, but I've never heard of that.

	Cricket is generally accepted as the national sport. However, there is a strong enough undertone supporting football that it would be unfair to exclude it, though cricket is still the unofficial national sport.

	You forgot South Korea - Starcraft.

	yeah why does cricket come up when you enter soccer?

	The method to fix it: 1. Enter the "DATA" section of the Game Creation Center. 2. Go to the row for England and write "Cricket or Soccer" OR "Cricket and Soccer" before the slash sign.
