Your Definition

A country that has invented more [international] sports than any other nation. The list includes golf, tennis, darts, boxing, football (soccer), rugby union, rugby league and cricket. Although Americans don't play the last three sports, pretty much everyone else in the world does.

Other sports invented by England include; bobsleighing ([believe it or not]!), badminton, bowls, canoeing, snooker, croquet, curling, rowing, skiing (amazingly), squash, table tennis, yachting, weight lifting, archery and [horse racing].

Perhaps the only three main games played on a global scale that are missing from the list are chess (accredited to India), hockey/ice hockey (Ireland) and Poker...not invented by Americans, but by the French.

At time of writing, England is home to the most prestigious tennis tournament(Wimbledon), the second best test cricket team in the world, the Rugby Union World Cup winners, one of the favourites for Germany 2006 Football World Cup plus the wealthiest and arguably best Football league in the world.
