World champion of what? Seeing that it is American, it's probably baseball,
basketball or that spin-off from rugby that for some bizarre reason gets
called 'football'.

I would think that the title 'world champion' implies that the final is
witnessed by about half of the world's populations, and sport in question
has a serious competition most countries of the world. For the three
mentioned above, that is not the case.

The only sport that has this merit is football. And I mean ∗real∗ football,
that you play with your feet (instead of running around with an oval ball
tucked under your arm). It even has almost the same name in most languages:
football, voetbal, Fußbal, futbol...

France is the world champion. It should have been the Netherlands, of
course. :)
