Along with Brazil winning 5 world cups in Football not 4, Uruguay has also won 2 world cups in Football. Pakistan has also won a world cup in ODI cricket.
Yes that is true of Uruguay and Pakistan, but unfortunately there is only room for 5 per sport, and thus as France and England/Sri Lanka have come second more times in soccer and cricket respectively, they make the list, just edging the others out. This is explained in the caveats.
