    Even the non European countries who perform well have their players either trained entirely by European academies or have their players in Europe from a young age. I feel like only Argentina, Brazil and maybe Egypt come somewhat close.

      True, it’s sad. But I saw that Egypt’s players almost entirely play in the Egyptian league. I feel they are maybe the best example of a country not relying on Europe. I feel like even Brazil and Argentina send their best players to Europe before they turn 20.
