No I don't think so because when you talk about football it depends on the country's priority if they are interested in investing in football or not there are lot of poor countries even in Europe that are doing well in sports because they have given priority to sports.

Not all countries in Asia is poor what you will say is that they have not invested well in sport that is why football in Asia is not as developed as that of European countries and off recent I think that Asian countries like China has made significant improvements in terms of investment in sport using football as an example

Could you please mention all these "significant improvements" in China? The last time they qualified for a World Cup was back in 2002, during the qualification stage they struggle even against weaker teams, the only decent player who played in Europe during the last years was Wu Lei, that's it. I'm sorry but I really don't see where these significant improvements are, could you please point them out for me?

And don't tell me that 10 years ago many players moved from Europe to China because that didn't help the league at all, especially considering how many teams went bankrupt.
