Soccer isn't a cultural priority. One love for the game would grow kids and funds, but scarce focus lets World Cup dreams fade while other sports shine.
In India and China, soccer is not the cultural compass; other sports steer people, schools, and sponsors. Where the heart lies elsewhere, the pitch stays empty and the World Cup dream stays a sketch.
Picture the culture as a garden. In India and China, cricket, table tennis, and basketball thrive, so soccer never takes root as the primary priority.
Soccer isn’t a cultural priority. Without daily obsession, talent never becomes world-class.
