I'll keep it short.
Basically in the span of 7 months we've seen Iran play the most meaningful football its going to play for another 3.5 years.
We played in the World Cup and then Asian cup within a year.
Persepolis also played in the ACL final. That's the most important Iranian football we'll watch in years.
Europeans have the Nations League, the Euro Cup, the World Cup and of course Champions League. They are exposed to meaningful football so often, that even losses don't feel so bad and recovery periods are short.
Whereas for us, we may have to wait decades before we play Japan in a meaningful game again!
In Asia, when you lose, you have way too much time to think about it. And things change so much over time that it becomes hard to replicate anything.
In short, AFC sucks, Bring the Asia Cup back to even years and create a tournament on FIFA match days to incentive friendlies. With the European Nations League it is going to be difficult to get good friendlies.
