	there's a world championship in american football? and they didn't even win the first two times? presumably lost to the only other team to enter, LOL! i thought this was a really good quiz, with a good range of sports which did require a little general knowledge to get right, rather than just guessing every country.

	Good quiz. Sri Lanka won the cricket world cup in 1996 not 1995.

	@wondernick: Apparently the US didn't send a team to the first two American football world cups (and neither did Canada, who probably could've won without the Americans there). The US teams that won in 2007 and 2011 consisted of college players with no NFL prospects, while, presumably, the other countries sent their best.

	@Brick_Hithouse: Oops, thanks - I've fixed the cricket years now.
