African player have always done the best they can to the best of their abilities only that it has never been the same as the way it has been when they go to their club sides and they are given the enabling environment to thrive, they actually perform far more differently because at that point all they need to stay efficient is provided and that is where even the countries see their performance and give them an invite to join the national team and represent them in competitions.
Originally the Asian countries aren't known for possessing some extra ordinary football talent enough to possessing brilliant football prowess but ever since they began to move to the European sides and have been playing on some other international arenas, their performance has improved greatly and soon they will be making waves in football like their European counterparts.
Truely Asian football has improved much better than it used to be in past years. Their involvements with other top European players and leagues have put many of their players on a better level therefore impacting their performances for their national teams. It will also make sense seeing them compete amongst other players from different continents and European for individual prestigious awards like the Ballon d’Or and others.
Although Asian teams have been doing well in football recently, we actually see a few familiar teams in big tournaments like the World Cup, but with the amount of effort and money Asian countries are spending to do well in football, more teams from Asia should get a chance at the World Cup. South Korea and Japan did quite well in the last World Cup and a team like Japan defeated a strong team like Germany and South Korea secured the next round from the group stage. Hopefully, we will see some new Asian teams in this World Cup tournament besides the familiar teams and the number of Asian teams will increase every year and we will see their good performance on a stage like the World Cup.
