At this point, there seems to be no connection between China and soccer.
The Chinese national team, led by head coach Branko Ivankovic, lost 0-2 to Australia in the eighth Group C match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium in Hangzhou, China, on the 25th (Korea time). With this, China remained at the bottom with two wins and six losses (6 points), and with two games remaining, the gap with second-place Australia (3 wins, four draws and one loss, 13 points) widened to seven points, failing to go straight to the World Cup.
In the match against Saudi Arabia (0-1), Real Madrid's Lin Liangming (Beijing Guoan) was sent off for a "shorim soccer" and lost a point in the match against Australia. Wang Daray (Shandong Taishan) failed to catch an ordinary shot by Nishan Belupilay (Melbourne Victory) and spilled it to the goal in the 29th minute. Coach Ivankovic made all-out efforts, replacing naturalized player Serginho (Beijing), but failed to reverse the result.
According to Chinese media Sohu, Wang said in an interview after the game, "It's my mistake. I have nothing to say. I lost my concentration because my vision was blocked and my ball bounced off." Chinese fans seem to be angry at the 'big mistake' of the national team captain and veteran.
Should I say it's a relief from bad luck? China still has hope to advance to the playoffs. Depending on the outcome of future matches, the team could pass the third place Saudi Arabia (two wins, four draws and two losses with 10 points). The remaining teams are Indonesia (ranked fourth, two wins, three draws and three losses with nine points) and Bahrain (ranked fifth, one win, three draws and four losses with six points).
Some experts, however, seem to have different opinions, according to the media. "Based on the current system, it seems that it would be best not to participate in the World Cup regardless of whether we advance to the playoffs or not," Pei Li, a reporter specializing in Chinese soccer, said on his social network service (SNS). 바카라사이트
"It is important not only to maintain the popularity of the national team but also to ensure that fans are not embarrassed on the global stage. Imagine if you were to be in the same group with a European and a South American team. It would be better to wait for younger players like Wang Yu-dong (Ji Su) and Ryu Cheung-yu (Shanghai Shenhua) to grow up a little more," he sighed.
