But you could add cricket (0 world championships despite countries with much smaller populations winning the majority of them, and rugby union where Australia and NZ despite having a combined population slightly more than half of England's, have won five WCs to England's one.

Perhaps you chaps should try looking at some data and actually thinking for a change.
Perhaps you should try understanding things you quote rather than just picking up statistics off the internet. It would stop you looking like an idiot. (There is no such thing as a world championship in cricket, by the way). And just saying that a country has a smaller population really does overlook a lot of other factors. But you seem to revel in your ignorance so why should we bother trying to educate you
