Nevertheless I don't think that any of these smaller football countries will be able to win a title anytime soon. It can happen against all expectations of course, but under normal conditions it won't happen. They would need seven or eight top players playing in the top European leagues I think. Those top national teams have 20 top players in the biggest clubs of the world. Like Spain or Italy or England.
But I agree that progress is being made and everyone benefits from it.
Developments continue to occur, especially for countries that were previously not seen now can provide a different color such as several countries in Asia such as Japan and Korea, which are now very much more developed than before but indeed to compete and become champions still need a lot of time that they have to do for further development.
They are already very good but in the end some of the big countries in soccer since the old era in Europe and Latin America of course they also always develop over time.
So that in the end when there is a big competition such as the World Cup which is always used as a benchmark, countries with far more quality players always become benchmarks or superior champions because apart from mentally, they also have good soccer blood even though not all of them are always developing because sometimes there are some moments from those who struggle and even seem to decline in terms of performance.
