Well there's a few reasons for that. Money is one of the big ones, there just isn't anywhere near as much money in football outside of Europe (and to a lesser extent South America). Plus there isn't as much interest in football outside of Europe/South America either, a lot of the countries in N. America or Asia that could invest a decent amount of money in to football prefer to spend it on developing other sports instead. |
But if Uruguay, Chile and Argentina can be producing elite talent year after year, why not other countries with similar economies, size of population and interest in football? Like Colombia, Peru, Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Iran, Tunisia, Saudi-Arabia, Algeria, Marocco, Egypt, South Africa and Turkey.
And if you consider how damn talented black players are genetically (in France, Belgium, England, Portugal and Holland the black population is only 1-2% but they make up 20-30% of all the professional football players) one would think that at least a couple of Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast and Cameroon would take steps like Brazil and Mexico did as poor nations in the past and join the elite of world football.
And moneywise, the national teams of countries like USA, Japan, Korea, India and China are performing much worse compared with how much money there are in their domestic leagues.
But no, it's all about Europe.
