Why are Asians so shite at football?

Stevie there is a difference of enjoing a sport as a spectacle and it being a fundamental activity of the culture itself IMO.

None of it explains entirely why an area with 70% of the worlds population has literally produced no one.

 

Alright they're too weak mentally and phsically and a load of them are ladyboys. :lol:

Cricket is the national sport of India closely followed by 'Who wants to be a millionaire'.. ;) Chess became very popular when Anand climbed the rankings. Football is viewed as a spectacle in most of Asia rather than a 'must do' sport. In Asia in general education and science are venerated to such a level that it's almost like a sport...(no running out onto the allotment after school). If China for instance set their mind to it and more players played abroad could become a force in modern football. Ultimately a lot of it comes down to prestige. In Europe it is asscociated with prestige and still a way out of poverty/poor education/mucking about in school (but the infrastructure is there to catch these young players). In Asia education is the way out and is the number one sport.

 

Yeah, an Indian kid doesn't have world class players to look up and aspire to. That's what football culture is about. No coincidence that the NE of England has produced so many top class footballers. It's not the biggest area in terms of population, it's about football culture. Bairns in Newcastle grow up with Gazza, Beardsley, Shearer et al to aspire to.

 

Think that is definitely part of the puzzle.

Exactly, I alluded to that 10minutes ago. You always wonder when a self professed BNP voter starts up topics about Asians being shitter than us at something

I think this is probably the closest answer to the truth but it STILL can't just be that.

Who did a Swede ever have to look up to before Henrik Larsson? Jonny Ekstrom?? Thomas Brolin :lol:

Is that your eye like? I thought it was a dead fish.

 

You want to get your fish monged somewhere else if your fishmonger is flogging you fish with eyebrows like.

That wasn't my intention at all. I think while many people have made a few decent points, it is a fucking mystery of life as to why 70% of the world pop. have never, not one, produced a genuinely world class player. All of the things like training, league structures have a degree of merit, but surely if someone in say Shanghai was as good as Maradona, they'd come through and get noticed.

Gunnar Nordahl, Gunnar Gren, Nils Liedholm, Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund, Agne Simonsson, Ove Kindvall, Ralf Edström...do I need to go on?

 

I thought you knew one or two things about football.

You could easily flip this thread and ask how many white men are in the top 10 boxing rankings at the premium weights?

...and the answer would be blacks are harder than us, unless you get a freak like the Klitschko's.

I knew Gunnar Nordahl and his exploits in Serie A, but anyone else who says they've heard of the other ones is lying.

You've never heard of the Gre-No-Li trio at AC Milan?

Btw hockey competes with cricket as the most played/competive sport in India/pakistan.

 

Most pop sport in China is table tennis followed by badminton and chess.

 

FIFA talk a load of PR bollocks when it comes to spreading the game, they haven't really managed to change any of the historical and culturally dominant sports in countries around the world. It's a ridiculous franchise driven gravy train there to keep Amex and Mastercard happy.
