Why is China so shit at footy lads?
Why is China so shit at footy lads?
they don't get abused enough
>mfw Syria qualifies for the World Cup
Plastic league made up of washed up Brazilians and Africans.
They need to develop their players instead of spending millions on second rate literally who's.
But then again we are also shit so I shouldn't really be saying anything.
>China pays players £300,000 a week
>People think it's a communist country
Tep kek.
some people think russia is a communist country too
mostly americans
pro tip: they're absolute retards
Well, it's still a communist country, breh.
You have a single, gangsterish political party operating in the shadows with absolute control of the media, foreign policy, a lot of major industries and regularly intervening in government business to their own interest. You aren't allowed to criticize them or their official political-historical narrative in a meaningful way without facing a good chance of your life being messed with and they insist upon dominating any and all kinds of social organization.
Having a few self-made millionaires making cheap shit to flog to the West and having some other very highly paid people doesn't make them un-communist.
>pro tip: they're absolute retards
Americans or Russians?
>600 billionaires
>A few millionaires
Australian rules football is called footy.
Soccer is called soccer.
Calm down, Xiaoming "Winston" Zhang.
Most of the billionaires aren't really self-made. They're people from or close to the elite Communist families. General Secretary of the Party: Dad was one of Mao's right hand men. Mega property developer and richest man: Dad was on the Long March with Mao.
etc...
They have *some* self-made millionaires. And maybe even some billionaires. But most of their elite were just politically well positioned goons when the government started privatizing and deregulating some industries.
>unironically believing that communism=dictatorship that intervenes in economy
>that fucking flag
poetry
They prefer the patrician sport of snooker.
Look how communist China is.
>giving Chinese commies and their ongoing Leninist system a free pass because they have private low-end manufacturing factories now
You fell for it.
>Look how far China goes to pretend its not a communist country to gullible Westerners
ftfy
OK Sup Forums, I'm going to the bar
Keep an eye on China
They're gonna get BTFO
>mfw Syria vs Saudi Arabia at the WC in Russia
First time I really agree with a burger about footy!
The main problem with those emergent footy markets (including MLS) is the excessive attention by foreign players. People forget about the locals, who really put the country on the map and bandwagon the foreigners, who are all decadent or shit tier players.
We can only dream.
I'm not sure how a picture of a ghost town refutes that
Who else /Uzbekistan/ here?
It's our year, lads.
>You have a single, gangsterish political party operating in the shadows with absolute control of the media, foreign policy, a lot of major industries and regularly intervening in government business to their own interest
how's that different from the western ""democracies"" exactly
>They need to develop their players instead of spending millions on second rate literally who's.
in 2017 they are going to start their new footy development program (they named it Ultimate Millennium Program or some shit like that).
Apparently they were using the same olympic program to develop football players, which as you can see nowadays, didn't work at all.
A FUCKIN DENTIST
Both.

Even if they manage to finish 3rd in the group they have to face a playoff between the other 3rd place finish in Asia. And if they win that they have to play CONCACAF 4th.
They would have to meet in the playoffs. None of the asian teams even made it out of group stage last cup.
>they have to play CONCACAF 4th.
any predictions? best case scenario for Syria
You think USA wouldn't whoop Syria like we did New Zealand?
>amerilard education
lemme guess, you're a Sup Forumstard?
I think they have a good shot.
New Zealand? They are playing CONMEBOL 5th for their playoff. They are royally fucked.
Syria, if US can't convincingly beat NZ a team that draws with fucking New Caledonia i don't think they're some insurmountable obstacle.
football has never been a traditional sport in China as is table tennis, it's excusable
It was a friendly. When we played the playoff the scorelines were 5-1 home and 4-2 away. Last time CONCACAF played AFC the spot Trinidad & Tobago did Bahrein.
Marxism-Leninism is a far more efficient system for the working class than capitalism is though
That was the biggest and most irrelevant meme game the US has had all year.
