But if Uruguay, Chile and Argentina can be producing elite talent year after year, why not other countries with similar economies 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.

Genetically talented? Dude you are something else.

First you have to investigate why are there a surge of talents in said countries then draw a conclusion.

Brazil and Mexico are not as poor as you think. They have a huge amount of people living in precarious condition but I guarantee you they're richer than most European countries. They invest a lot in soccer and African countries can't have the luxury of doing that because... 3rd world problems.

Money in domestic league is not everything, ask England, where the most money flow in terms of soccer business.

Yes, black people are genetically predisposed for traits that benefit talent in football such as faster speed, more muscular strength, faster reflexes and better ball handling compared with other races. That is fact and nothing you can doubt.

I didn't say Mexico and Brazil were poor now. But back when they entered the world stage of football, 50 to 70 years ago, the countries were poor. That's why I wonder why poor countries today never establish in the world elite (Africa).

But even more strange is that nations that do seem to have all the conditions such as national economy, size of population, interest in football, . Nations such as Colombia, Peru, Australia, USA, China, India, Japan, Korea, Iran, Tunisia, Saudi-Arabia, Algeria, Marocco, Egypt, South Africa and Turkey.

I've waited since 1990, when I watched my first World cup, for at least a few of these 16 nations to climb up and make the same remarkable journey from mediocrity to the top as did Portugal, Chile, Poland and Belgium, and that we would one day see Africa's Mexico and Brazil.
