In short, despite the huge disparity in the strength of football in all countries and regions of the world, the truth that all nations are completely equal in front of football is still unquestionable.

So, what is it that causes the huge difference in football strength in different countries or regions of the world?

Here, the author begins with a quote from The Art of War.

"The Art of War: The Shape of the Army" has a saying-'Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy.' Therefore, the victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory. Those who make good use of soldiers, cultivate the Tao and protect the law, so they can be the government of victory and defeat. The Art of War: One is the degree, the second is the quantity, the third is the number, the fourth is the weighing, and the fifth is the victory. The degree of birth, the amount of birth, the number of births, the number of births, the number of births, and the victory of births. ’

This passage is to say that geographical strength determines the size of countries and regions, the size of countries and regions determines the number of populations and economic strength, the number of population and economic strength determines comprehensive strength, comprehensive strength determines the balance of forces, and the balance of strength determines the ultimate contest of football strength.

Whether it is fighting or doing other major things, the standard for measuring the military strength or other strength of a country or region is ultimately the geographical strength and population size, and football is known as the sport most similar to war.

According to the above content of "The Art of War", the author believes that the factors that determine the strength of football in a country or region mainly include the following six points: population size, comprehensive strength, national status, public interest, development strategy, and historical accumulation.

All football powers, such as Baade, France, England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Portugal, are able to get high scores in the above six factors, so they are called football powers, and all football weak countries, as well as countries whose football strength does not match their comprehensive national strength, always do not do well enough in one or more factors.

For example, the United States, the population, comprehensive strength and national status of the United States are enough to ensure that the United States becomes a superpower in football, but Americans are not interested in football, and American football is weak. In terms of public interest, because the American people generally lack interest in football, it doesn't matter about the development strategy and historical accumulation, football, for the United States, the sports kingdom, is just a small flower on a big brocade, and the strength of American football is much stronger than China.

Iceland is one of the best in all aspects of football, but with a population of just over 300,000, Iceland will hardly be a football powerhouse even if Icelanders do a good job, but it will be enough for Icelanders to be proud of themselves for 100 years by beating England in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

Japan's economic strength ranks third in the world, although its economic development has been stagnant for a long time, but its population, comprehensive strength, national status, public interest, and development strategy are enough to ensure that Japan can become a new football power.

Although Russia's economic strength is weak, its comprehensive strength should not be underestimated, and the Russian population is also considerable, the people's interest in football is also very strong, Russia's football development strategy and football history accumulation are no problem, the problem of Russian football is brought about by its national state, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's vitality has been greatly injured, and it has not yet been able to heal, therefore, for a long time foreseeable, Russian football will inevitably be affected by this.

Chinese football in terms of population, comprehensive strength, national status and public interest, in fact, is not a problem, even compared to per capita GDP, China's per capita income has exceeded Brazil, comparable to Argentina, and China's actual living standards and national state, are much better than Brazil and Argentina, Chinese interest in football is also unquestionable, and the main reason why Chinese football has not developed well is because' If the football development strategy is not done well, and if the development strategy is not done well, it does not matter the factor of historical accumulation.

As for the 'football vacuum' India, in addition to the empty population, India has huge shortcomings in all other aspects, so there is no need to say more about the reasons for the poor development of football in India.

Friends who are familiar with world football know that the French football team, the current world hegemon, is the standard 'African Alliance', most of France's 'African Alliance' were actually born in France, and the parents of the 'African Alliance' were born in Africa, moved to France, and gave birth to the 'African Alliance' in France, if the 'African Alliance' was born in Africa, such as Mbappe, Dembele, Kante, Pogba, if they were all born in Africa, then, can their football potential still be tapped?

You may say that even Africa itself has produced superstars such as George Weah, Drogba and Salah, but if all African children are sent to Europe, then African children will definitely produce 10 or even 20 times more football stars than they are now, precisely because Europe is much stronger than Africa in terms of comprehensive strength, national status, historical accumulation and development strategy.

For the football geniuses of every country and every nation in the world, when they have just become a small life in the form of a fertilized egg, no matter where they are born, no matter whether their parents are rich or poor, no matter how all the factors in the world will change, their football talent is fixed, and if they are fortunate to be born in 'Huainan', they can become 'orange', and unfortunately born in 'Huaibei', they have to be reduced to 'orange'.

Football is completely equal for all countries and all nations in the world, but the development of football by a country or nation is affected by six factors - population size, comprehensive strength, national status, public interest, development strategy, and historical accumulation.

Every country or nation in the development of football, should pay attention to the above six factors, and try to overcome the weakness of their own nation in the above six factors, only in each factor to achieve high scores, a country or nation's football strength, in order to make all the football geniuses to achieve 'orange Huainan is orange', and to avoid 'orange Huaibei is orange'.
