Hate to burst you bubble, but your wrong.

Back in the day in England, they called soccer "association football". When rugby, which at the time was known as "rugby football", became popular, the British changed rugby football to rugger and changed association football to soccer. In the 1980's the British stopped calling soccer soccer because the term had became too american.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/13/soccer-not-football-_n_5492714.html

also, despite common beliefs, the U.S. is NOT the only country to not call soccer  football

 

 

also, you say you dont use feet in football, well that is not true. Feet are used to kick the ball after every score and for punts and extra points. Feet are also used in every second of the game by every player. How else do you expect them to run?

Yes, feet are used in American "football" but compare that to soccer! "Football", the whole point is to score as many points, which is most efficient eoth touchdowns, not 3 point kicks. Compare how many times a punter and kicker gets the ball to the quarterback <_<

Cricket is more demanding than quite a few other sports. Its really popular in England, India, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies, Bangladesh, South Africa, etc.

It involves two 11-player teams in a generally 60-70 metre radius circular ground. There is a rectangle-shaped pitch at the centre with a set of three stumps called the wickets at each end. The bowler bowls the cricket ball at the batsman at the other end of the pitch and the batsman has to attempt to hit it. If he hits it beyond the ground without bouncing he gets 6 runs otherwise 4 runs. If the ball doesn't get to the boundary he has to run with the partner batsman on the other side across the pitch till the ball is returned by a fielder in the opposition team. For example if he and the partner run across the pitch twice before ball is returned, he gets 2 runs.

How can a batsman be eliminated? If he fails to hit ball and the ball hits the stumps/ball gets caught by a fielder without bouncing/ball hits his leg below knee along the stumps/his bat hits the stumps/ball is returned but he fails to complete a full run.

Each team also has a captain, and also a wicketkeeper - the person who kneels behind the batsman's stumps to make sure that if batsman misses shot the ball doesn't reach the boundary.

There are also other details like noball, freehit, wide, crease, spin, fielding positions, bowling approaches, swing, batting strokes, etc.

 

There you go I literally wrote an essay. :P
