take it easy chiese fans has little intersts about national team very few people takes it seriously so does the players, if not because of the current politics ralation between china and Korea,the players may lost the motivation against Korea and don't take national team matches seriouslly as usual. Can't see the team take matches against Iran in Teheran seriouslly either. top CSL clubs could easilly attract 50000+ fans in big CSL matches, while only 30000+ watching Team China playing against Universe Powerhouse like South Korea, shows the real attitude of chinese football fans
Did attendance of this game get affected by security concerns? Heard there were 10,000 plus police present. When is the Iran game?
#4 Zhang Zhipeng, obvious lack of good judgement. Instead of heading it out of bound, he headed back into the middle. 1-0 Iran. 46'.
Fair result. Iran dominated most of the game and it went the way we all expected. Final three group games are Syria (neutral), Uzbekistan (home) and Qatar (away). With Lippi, maybe all winnable?
Friendly against Philippines on 7. June in Guangzhou ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_national_football_team Confirmed ?
Copa América Brasil 2019: invitados USA, Mexico, España, Portugal, Japón y China @futbol_jramos— Jorge Ramos y su Banda (@ESPN_JorgeRamos) May 10, 2017 Apparently, China has been invited to the 2019 Copa America. I take it if you guys accept, your expectations will be fairly low, right?
Must-win game going on now. Not looking like it'll happen. Down 0-1 from a soft PK since just after the start of the game. 60' now. China has all the advantage but there's no finisher. Where is Yu Dabao?
Another soft PK by the ref. I can't think of one suitable person to take it. Zheng Zhi is not on the squad. P.S. Wow, well-taken PK by Gao Lin. 1-1 68'.
Only caught the last 20 mins genuinely thought China could pull this off but thanks to more dodgy refereeing China gets screwed again.
I saw no foul in injury time. Both PK fouls were also soft. China so close and yet so far. Robbed tonight but still were not good enough to go to Russia. Something mentally is missing from the teams, they do play well at the club level, but welding a national team, the formula has yet to be found.
