On September 6, last night in the first round of the third stage of the World Asian Qualifiers, China’s national football team suffered a 0-7 defeat against Japan’s national football team away from home.
After the match, basketball commentator Su Qun posted: “I heard that the Football Association arranged quite a few matches for the U series during the summer, with youth teams from various top football nations coming to play. I don’t know if this is true or not. If it is true, then there’s no need to worry about football, since the senior team lost 0-7 to Japan anyway, it might as well start doing its homework from the summer vacation earnestly. On the contrary, I am more worried about basketball, which doesn’t even know what the summer vacation homework is; a 0-7 loss could translate into a future senior team losing by 35-40 points.”
