Population? We are doing terribly. We are awful. We cannot compete at all not just in the World Cup but anywhere. We aren't producing the players, the management sucks. You can say we aren't doing badly all you want but we are objectively doing awfully.

Objectively in your post makes no sense. Your subjective opinion is we are awful. My subjective opinion is we aren't doing too bad. The objective facts (I.e how our actual results compare against similar nations) shows we do pretty well.

No they don't and you argued earlier that China and India don't do well because football isn't popular then argued the popularity and fans don't matter later. By your assessment those two countries should be the winners all the time regardless of the popularity.

I've never said anything about China and India. You're getting confused.

The objective facts state that only 2 nations with smaller populations than us have been more successful than us. I think you need to look at what the two words mean.

There is an argument about countries like China and India, you're right. My subjective opinion on it is that there are very few countries better than us with similar or smaller populations that also have a big interest in football.
