Explain this
>>150726638I believe this was an international football game between Japan and China which Japan won 7-0 and there's a picture of Japan international and ex Liverpool player Minamino looking happy, presumably it was from that game
They should just switch to baseball like all the other advanced Asian places. You'd think they'd jump at the opportunity to put one over Taiwan in something the island actually cares about. Hell, they already had and didn't capitalize on it.
>>150726638how did they know which one is which?
Chinks can't into team sportsglorious nippon teamwork folded 1000 times
interesting thing is japanese football was in a really bad way in the 80s, it was essentially semi-professionalchina should just copy what they did
2002 World Cup did his job in Nippon and Second Best Korea, too bad Fifa forgot that's the purpose of hosting the World Cup and are doing it in retarded countries like Qatar (not even a real country) and soon Saudi Arabia.
Japanese players play in Europe. It's that simple. Chinese superleague players gotta play better to be scouted by /bundes/, /epl/ and others.
>>150726870That's a circular argument. Jap and Korean players were scouted to play in Europe because they are a high standard already. Japan and Korea were competitive international teams long before they had PL players
>>150726795Japan is irrelevant even in Asian up untill the turn of the century. They didn't care about soccer at all and only played baseball Their development in the sport mostly came with spending during the 90s leading up to hosting the 2002 world cup. The 98 world cup was actually the first one they ever qualified for
>>150726897There is nothing circular about it, they had to up their game at some point too, just like Chinese have to now.We don't give Chinese players the time of day, I am sure.
>>150726934>they are good enough because they were already good enoughIt is circular. Genetically they're more or less the same. China's pumped a lot of money into football but the gap seems to be widening, what's the difference? It's one of the last markets left to conquer
>>150726963Never said that.The Japanese got better by applying themselves, no money in the world makes you get more competent or skillful. It's just a question of getting gud.
Chinese parents value education over hobbiest. Hapa
>>150726638It's basically the 7-1, just that the teams are Asian and China didn't manage to score.
>>150726795>>150726898in 1999, the J League had a big restructuring to promote football at a grassroot level on local communities, with a 100-year plan to have 100 professional teams in its league and eventually win a World Cupin other words, a long-term plan to let football grow naturally in the country
>>150726638Chink, even when you think of them as bugmen, are too individualist and don't do well in team sports unless under draconian laws, Japs are more souleful and so can merch with each other winning via the power of friendship.
