I think it is all to do with infrastructure and not because 'Asians can't play football'. For example, a well known UK football team, Sporting Bengal Utd FC, toured Bangladesh and beat most, if not all the Bangladesh league teams. The players in the Sporting Bengal team were all of Bangladeshi origin (except for maybe one or two) and the team is not even a pro team. Now whats the difference between the two teams? Its the fact that Sporting Bengal train in the UK and have all the necessary equipment to do so.

Personally, I think if players from the UK and other European countries, of Bangladeshi origin, played for the national team of Bangladesh, then they would stand a much better chance of moving up the ranks...at least to 100.
