Cricket is only for countries that suck in football.
The Cricket World Cup is a fly when compared the Football World Cup, which is like an elephant.

In terms of global media coverage and popularity, the FIFA World Cup is on an entirely different scale when compared to the Cricket World Cup. Cricket is mostly popular amongst the Commonwealth nations, and thats where the bulk of its fans are from. The FIFA World Cup, however, draws millions, maybe even 1 or 2 billion fans from all over the globe, is broadcast in just about every country, and revenue generated might possibly equal the Olympics'.

the FIFA World Cup is the biggest sporting events in the world, even the Olympics can compare with that. almost half of the worlds' population watched the FIFA World Cup final alone. as for the cricket World Cup, there's is particularly very less coverage & few may not know that there is a cricket World Cup held every 4 years.

it's amazing how big and popular fifa world cup is. Some country shut everything down when their team is playing so everyone in their country can watch and root for them. Majority of countries have soccer/football teams but not cricket.

FIFA is the biggest. Cricket is like the second most loved sport in the world. I've never watched or played cricket in America.For me it's American football.

soccer is doubtless the most played and watched sport in the world. naturally the organisation and the events, the fifa arranges belong to the biggest in the world. the only sports event comparable in size and number of viewers are the olympic games. i don't know exactly how many countries are members in the world organisation for cricket, but most likely almost all of them are or have been in the past members of the britsh commonwealth.

Cricket is hugely popular to those of us whose countries participate and the WC of cricket is great, however football being played in almost every nation of the world would see it DOMINATE!!! Like Adi said, it would honestly rival the Olympics in revenue, attendance and popularity.
