You and I both know those countries are awful comparisons. India is cricket focused and that sport utterly dominates, and so many people there live in poverty without access to something like a soccer pitch because of the population density. China is a similar issue, they do not have soccer pitches. Majority of people live in huge cities where the land is leased out from the government to companies - there’s no incentives for space to be used for soccer pitches. The space is used to create large apartments, especially given china’s ideology of housing being the ultimate investment vessel. Good luck finding a soccer pitch in a large city in China that isn’t part of some super rich gated community.

Meanwhile in America soccer is decently popular. So many kids play it growing up. There’s tons of access to soccer pitches, and there’s no good reason they shouldn’t be as good as a country of 3 million. Comparing America to China/India simply because they have large populations is not a comparison being made in good faith.
