England just became the only nation to win the World Cup in 3 seperate sports, Football/Rugby/Cricket...which multiple sports has/does the country of your birth excel in?

Asked by ucme (50047points) July 15th, 2019

Okay, so it was obviously an opportunity to show off, but although a little clunky, there’s still a question in there…kinda. Fluther isn’t the sportiest of places, but hey, go on, indulge yourselves.

Pretty sure our mens soccer team in the US won like six gold cups, womens got four I believe.

Jolly good show, anglias!

Fun fact:
basketball, volleyball, skateboarding, and snowboarding are American inventions, some of which have become popular in other countries and worldwide.
Lacrosse and surfing arose from Native American and Native Hawaiian activities that predate Western contact.[5]

Of the 3 only soccer is a sport wildly popular outside the former British empire. Here, the dominance is about baseball, basketball and gridiron football.

@ragingloli Just a heads up, I had a response modded off one of your recent questions with no reason given. I can only assume it was because we apparently aren’t allowed to interact with each other.
I have no interest in flagging anything here, but will watch with interest in case you are given the same treatment.
