This isbecause Asian players have not yet been given the chance to get into football. Asian players prefer to play other sports such as cricket that are more suited to there cultures. Chelsea Football Club are running an initiative that gets Asian players involved with football at a high level. They are doing this by running trials of Asian players where 3 will be taken on trial with the youth squad over the summer. This could influence other Asians to get involved with sport as they realise that is possible for them to get to the top level of the sport.
Chelsea (Juliano Belletti and Alex), Arsenal (Gilberto and Denilson), Liverpool (Fabio Aurelio and Lucas Leiva) and Middlesbrough (Fabio Rochemback and Afonso Alves) all have 2 Brazilian players each in their squad. Making these 4 premiership teams the ones who have the most Brazilian players.
In the NFL, the teams are allowed to have 53 players on their roster. Of these 53 players, 45 are allowed to dress for a game. The players on the roster that don't dress for a game are considered to be on the 'practice squad'. Should a team decide to cut one of those players on the practice squad, it is called a 'practice squad deletion'. In the same vain, if a team picks up a player and adds him to the practice squad it is called a 'practice squad addition'.
Currently Manchester City as they have the bigger and better players within their squad.
D1 schools are required to cut the roster at 85 players. Not all of theose players travel with the team. Even fewer actual dress in pads.
