Interesting post - all the countries you listed have a rich history as soccer (yes, I said soccer. I'm from the US) as a spectator sport, rather than having a developed culture of actually playing the sport. I'm curious to know how these countries "choose" to root on a team. Obvious that the top searches for Asia is not Japan or Korea, the two teams that made it to the WC, according to your post. I feel that the WC is a definite source of pride for countries that make it to the big dance, but for countries that don't make it, or just can't make it because it's almost impossible to field a team that can compete at that level, it seems that underdogs aren't even on the radar as teams to root for, especially in Asia. Perhaps they want to cheer on winners only - giving them a reason to watch this beautiful spectacle as long as they can, since it only happens once every four years...
