Most Commonwealth countries, Canada is different because of our close connection with the US.

There's a group of Indians near me who play cricket every weekend so sometimes I'll go by and bother them. "You're playing the game wrong, you know. Have you guys never watched baseball before?" They're always super nice and will spend ages explaining everything about the sport. They have a level of zeal for the sport which cannot be matched by even us hockey fans. Last summer we went down to the Galapagos and our group was mostly Brits and I would wait until late in the evening after they had started drinking and ask if they play soccer over there, and that is just as much fun to me.

We have Rugby and Gaelic Football as our sports from the Commonwealth. We just suck at them because there's only 3 months a year to play it.

ask if they play soccer

I mean, that is where the word came from originally.
