Their French coach is none other than Alain Perrin who isn’t exactly coveted by any stretch of the imagination and is known in the English speaking world mainly for what was a disastrous spell in charge at Portsmouth several years ago. Perhaps they’re being more low key with their foreign managers after the Camacho fiasco!

Can anyone guess where the next Tiger is coming from?

The Chinese Soccerball Association has lost Chinar’s face for too long.

China played alright in the first half, but completely came apart after the first goal. They seemed to lack a player who could really make the difference. I was most impressed by their goalkeeper.

In any case, they are still a disappointing team. And they even have a French coach. You wonder what it’s going to take.

20% of the worlds population is Chinese and this loss to a very average football nation represents the Great Leap Forward.

You’re winding us up, right?

Location Note: the game was played at Lang Park.

A foul before the first goal, was it? Still, they’ve come a long way since that tepid appearance at the 2002 World Cup. Nice to see Tim Cahill rolling back the years again too.
