fne8w2ahAnger, scorn from Chinese football fans after Japan thrashes China 7-0 in record World Cup qualifier loss - CNA
a humiliating 7-0 loss to World Cup rivals Japan
Uuuh. Maybe China considers Japan a rival, but Japan wouldn’t consider China at all. If an actual world-class team like Japan has a rival, it would be Korea. Both teams obviously well above China in rankings.
lumpenproletariatAus is world class for soccer?
ThePowerOfGeekNo. But they are at a decent level. And they are around the same level as Japan and South Korea. And all three of them are significantly above China in the sport.
Yeah. Japan’s usually going to be number 1 in Asia, but we all go for whoever of those three teams is still in and usually two of them are in the WC. China’s just insignificant. I think even NZ is higher than them and they’re a low-population nation obsessed with rugby.
