ExpandTried to open a new topic for the Women's World Cup like the one for Men's but i guess the common thread will have to do it for the girls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, some interesting matches on this first four days i would say, especially the defeat of India agains New Zealand.
The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.
. The Australians and South Africans with Italian passports are making a big difference
ExpandEngland qualified to Super8, that means that Scotland will be relegated to European qualification in 2026. If England would not qualify, both team could have automatic qualification for 2026.
Actually, Ireland, Scotland will be at the regional qualification, plus the today winner of Italy v Romania
Romania beating Italy would be a bigger shock than any we've seen at the World Cup
ExpandAgree to an extent, though what's noticable is Canada's particular relative weakness at those sports, preferring baseball, Canadian gridiron football, ice hockey and (for netball, the other commonwealthy team sport), Basketball.
As for patterns of immigration, they are probably similar enough. The big difference, really, is Soccer and the number of futbol crazy hispanic Americans, though the sport has clearly reached a tipping point in the US
Specific to cricket, the USA was undoubtedly the worst run cricket federation in the world up until a few years ago. Now they're almost competent

Sadly 
291-5 lost to 293-7
Glenn Maxwell, who got injured early in the game, scored 201.
Probably one of the best performances in any sport of this year.
I still can't believe the story of cricket in Aghanistan.
I think I mentioned before that the sport literally did not exist in the country until the Soviet invasion in 1979.
The love for cricket was learned in refugee camps in Pakistan in the 1980s and 90s.
The national team has only existed since 2001.
Big controversy at 
357-8 beat 55 all out

I am very proud. This is a fantastic moment for Dutch cricket.
It is the Netherlands' best achievement, by far.

A fantastic day for Dutch cricket, the planning and the execution. We thought they were initially getting blown away and yet here they are shaking hands with the South Africa team with a win under their belts. It’s hard to believe but here it is.
They’re going to have to delve into it and tear it apart and work out how it actually happened. We’re going to be glowing in our pace for the Dutch team and also for individual performances. Van de Merwe changed it for this team and Scott Edwards jumped on that and put the South Africa team to the sword. It was Ackermann who then got the breakthrough and the game changed again.
ExpandWith how many wickets and runs and overs did we win?
Netherlands win by 38 runs

OK, this is going to be interesting.
The miracle is on.
in a strong position to beat
Men's T20 result
10 all out
13-0 from 0.2 balls (first ball was a no-ball)
New world record low score for men's cricket
Edited by DragonExpandDebutants
have reached the super sixes in their first ever ICC World Cup of any format.
They came close to beating one of the pre tournament favourites
If you consider that cricket didn't exist in Rwanda until the start of this century, this is is a remarkable achievement

So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was. At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke. Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents... -

It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
