From what I've seen, Myanmar and Pakistan both have a lot going against them when it comes to football development. First, there's not a ton of money or resources for football in either country—like, compared to places in Europe or even some parts of Asia, their facilities and training just aren't up to par. I've read that a lot of the time, the pitches are rough and there aren't enough proper youth academies to train young players. Then there's the issue of politics and sometimes even instability, which makes it harder to keep leagues running smoothly or get strong support from sponsors.

I think another big issue is that cricket is huge in Pakistan, so football doesn't get as much attention or respect. In Myanmar, there's more of a following, but it's still tough with the various economic and social challenges they face. I've heard stories of players having to play barefoot or with old gear, which is just kind of wild to imagine if you’re used to seeing top teams in Europe. So unless more money, training, and organization happens, it's going to be really tough for either team to climb up those rankings anytime soon. But hey, every country starts somewhere, and upsets do happen!
