There is much more and better potential in the Asian countries to develop their teams and get better results in the great tournaments like the World Cup. But the truth about these teams is they don't have the good coaches and good facilities they need to have. Maybe that's because of the lack of investments in these countries but they are still far from the European teams and that's there are fewer slots for the Asian teams in the World Cup compared to the European teams.
I think the best they can do is to think more about the future of their teams and try to have better coaches from Europe to develop their teams. Just like what they do in teams like South Korea and Japan.
Yes, that true, but if the development of national teams in Asian countries is slow, it actually not because of things like lack of financial support because some of them also have very strong financial support, it could even be said to be able to match European countries.
Only thing is that Asian football games are still very far behind European countries, look at how these Asian countries play which clearly doesn't seem that dominantly competitive when they meet European countries.
But as time progresses, it is possible that Asian countries will be able to play well in every important World Cup competition, everything will depend on each country in every effort to develop the quality of their game.
Yesterday, Indonesia vs Iraq, it was clear that the game could be dominated by Indonesia, but unfortunately, Iraq had more advanced game where they were able to take advantage of every counter-attack very well, in fact Iraq was really able to overwhelm the Indonesian players in every position.
This defeat was heavy blow for Indonesia and there was only one more chance, if that also ended in defeat then it was clear that Indonesia would not be able to qualify for the next round.
