And they certainly don’t have as good a infrastructure as most other countries that have won the world cup (only 8 have mind you). Don’t forget that we have far fewer coaches in this country than they do in say Germany, and look at the difference there.
But then again on the first point all the Saudis play in the same division and it didn’t help them much...
