India and China don’t seem to care enough about football; the former loves Cricket while the latter love Ping-Pong and Badminton the most, and unlike America neither country has the advertising/sponsorship type of environment that can invest in and propel a sport like football.
As more and more money flows into US soccer with every passing world cup, you can bet it’ll make an impact in the future, so I definitely see them making a final… maybe 3-4 tournaments from now.
Football is all about numbers… Lots of money invested + big population = success.
You are falling behind with the news. I grant you India loves cricket, but China does what America is doing too. They are bringing in the western discarded football players. Same action same ultimate result stand still as far as world football is concerned.
