Daily Topic: Why is Asian football always lagging behind other continents?

  /  Afy

The Asian confederation represents the majority of the world's population, some of its richest countries and many of its biggest economies. Yet its premier tournament boasted only 2 teams in Fifa's top 50 (the powerhouses of Asia – Iran ranked only 33). Africa, by comparison, has 6. Except for Oceania (only has 9 small teams), why is Asian football always lagging behind other continents?

Experts of last DAILY TOPIC: For a greater success in career, should Harry Kane stay at Spurs or leave?

@Sai Prateek Kumar: Harry Kane is a player who looks set to achieve all big things in future. He is in exceptional form and his finishing skills have been at his very best. But the question is "Can spurs provide him enough chances to be an all time great."

One of the biggest doubt in a player's mins is taking a decision and choosing one between "Loyalty" and "Career."

Francesco Totti was a great player, no doubt. He gave his all career to Roma. Roma are a good team, but if we see this the other way round, Totti could have achieved much more if he would have chosen la liga or epl over Serie A. Always remember that there is a difference between a club legend and an All Time Legend.

As for harry kane, teams like chelsea, real madrid or barcelona could give him a better team which could increase his chances to score more goals. Chelsea need to replace morata soon and even real want a new striker in place of benzema.Though Suarez is having a nice season, we can clearly see that his fitness level is declining slowly which can be seen in his dribbling and finishing skills.

Spurs are a great team and they must get the credit for making kane one of the most lethal strikers in the history of football, but now I guess its better if harry kane chooses himself over the club.

@Namor_3110: There are 2 sides to this story

With the greatness and tactics of Poch, Spurs are emerging to be a big threat for the big English boys. The way Spurs played against Liverpool, Man Utd, and particularly against Juve they showed they have the potential to be a powerhouse of Europe. Poch has brought new spirit to the team and has enlightened the role Kane plays in a match.

But as the current season has showed us that a club is as good as its Manager. So if Poch leaves which is becoming highly likely as time goes by, it isn't assured that Kane will continue to nourish and prosper. As we have seen Lacazette and Batshuayi, their managers showed no interest in them and they degraded. But Batshuayi has regained his dominance in Dortmund. So Kane should opt for other clubs if Poch leaves. But being a true Spurs fan, I wish he stays
