Thinking on the Chinese football —N. Korea held by host China; Japan stays unbeaten

The Japan won North Korea with 3-2, and ranked No.1 in the East Asia women’s championship on February 21th,2008. China ranked second with 4 points, followed by North Korea with one point, and South Korea without any point.

Actually, this game is not so popular as world cup,but with the four countries are located close, so we can see some other special things.

For the history reason, especially for anti-Japan in World War Two, each time whatever fields, when Japan vs. China, Chinese audience are eager to win! And some nationalism will make big news for this kind of competition. Just in this spring festival, Chinese men’s football team lost Japan again. Anyway, we do not keep so much hope for Chinese men’s football team for the weakness. Again and again, we think the future of our men’s football; hopefully we can find a way to be strong again. With thousands of heart-broken, the only thing can make up our minds is our women’s football team which has ever won the world championship in recent years! However, now the only hope also needs challenge. And there is even such a joke said that, the Chinese football fans are the world’s most desperate fans with no hope of their national team! What a sad story? China has the largest populations, the most football fans, but one of the worst national football teams in the world!
