Now, I love reading all these alternate histories and have a much better knowledge of history than the average human, it seems I know nothing compared to you guys. So, as a 'noob' of Alternate History, I decided to challenge you guys on something I rarely see on this site: sports.

My challenge to you all is as the title says, make the Asian continent dominate Association Football, replacing South America IRL. Of course, that doesn't mean the South Americans can't be good either, but many Asian nations must be of better quality in football skill. 'Asia' does not mean only East Asian nations but what we refer to as the Asian continent. Also, this does not mean that all Asian nations are good in football, but merely that many Asian nations have good to top-class football teams. At least two Asian teams should have won the World Cup, and at least three should have hosted them.

Yes, yes, this challenge might have a POD before 1900, but I felt that most of the events taking afterwards would affect the world after 1900, since the POD at the earliest is probably in the 1880's. Besides, I saw 40 more people on here than on Before 1900 ;)

Extra points if you can change the famous quote to "The English invented it, but the Indonesians perfected it"

Oh, and have fun!
