Well, we are far enough in the season to see who might win this thing. A lot of contenders, including a few surprises. Who will it be?
I voted for Dalian because I think that they will win it. I am a Shandong fan so obviously I would like them to convert a few losses into ties to get the points (they are the only side without a draw this season). However, anyone but Dalian would satisfy me. They are becoming the Yankees of Chinese football.
Is the Korean mafia now going to suggest that Dalian's proximity to Korea is the reason for its success? Then why didn't Yanbian do better when it was in Jia A. It was not only closer to the border, but named after a Korean Autonomous Region in Jilin Province!
Didn't forget them. They are too far down in the table. Polls only allow six options, so I put in the top six teams in the table. BTW, I HATE Qingdao Dui! Almost as much as Shenhua!
I still remember what Fan Zhiyi did at Shandong Stadium during the 1998 season. It involves some intentional jersey pulling and spitting in the face of a popular Brazilian international playing for Luneng.
