Cricket is played in 10 countries and out of them 5 (West Indies, India, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) have won cricket world cup.
Football in the other hand is played in 200 countries and so far only eight countries (Uruguay (twice), Italy (4 times), Brazil (5 times), Germany (thrice), England, Argentina (twice), France and Spain) have won world cup football. So in which sport there is more monopoly ?
