Explain this

>>150726638 (OP)
I 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.

>>150726638 (OP)
how did they know which one is which?

Chinks can't into team sports
glorious nippon teamwork folded 1000 times

interesting thing is japanese football was in a really bad way in the 80s, it was essentially semi-professional
china 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.

>>150726870
That'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

>>150726795
Japan 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

>>150726897
There 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 enough
It 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

>>150726963
Never 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 hobbies

>>150726638 (OP)
It's basically the 7-1, just that the teams are Asian and China didn't manage to score.

>>150726795
>>150726898
in 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 Cup
in other words, a long-term plan to let football grow naturally in the country

>>150726638 (OP)
Chink, 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.

>>150726677
Only OLD people watch boreball in Japan and Korea

>>150728104
But then Brazil are very individualist and they're 5x WCs. China last qualified the year Brazil last won. There's going to be minnows like Uzbekistan or whatever that are more likely to qualify

China's attempt at being a football superpower actually hurt their economy in the 2010s
Xi Jinping gave up
then COVID wrecked their shit further, effectively killing off Guangzhou Evergrande
There was also some corruption going on in the chinese FA, bribing or some shit. What's left of the chinese national team now is complete dogshit. Their fans are mostly just defeated by now.

They are too busy conquering useless sports, like diving, whatever swimming style, esports or fucking ping pong

Japan is THE OKI OF AFC

>>150728113
All of Japan is basking in Ohtani's exploits and Korean baseball just smashed its attendance record with still a month left to play

>>150730516
Baseball unifying Japan and Korea is pretty amusing. Gooks like Ohtani and the Japs are getting into the Gook players playing together with their own. I kneel to boreball.

>>150731444
And Taiwan won Premier12 as well as the Little League World Series. All three Asian baseball places are at their own apex.

the chink team is full of kids of ccp officials, i saw some article where last time chink team played and lost, netizens were pissed off watching the team at the airport leaving with like 10 pieces of luggage each full of shopping, the team is made up of nepo babies and not actually made up of talented players

>>150726992
I thought the stereotypical Asian parent makes their kid participate in 10 different extracurriculars like piano and soccer?

>>150731444
My Chinese friend likes Ohtani and he doesn’t even watch baseball

>>150726677
A shame baseball never caught on in the Philippines with that American occupation. Instead they had to chase the one sport you need to be tall to be really good at.

>>150728113
baseball seems to be be quite popular with young women in Japan and Korea. I think this has been the case in Japan for a while but it's new in Korea and is the primary driver of huge attendance increases in the past couple years.

>>150734865
Baseball players always had the greatest pull with the ladies

>>150728113
sadly true

>>150726673
we got a real Sherlock Holmes over here

>>150726638 (OP)
The Chinese peaked in 2002 and then went to being shitters again.

>>150733185
Not soccer. A lot of affluent Asian kids get pushed into fencing and squash since it looks good on a college recommendation (or used to before they all started doing it)

>>150726898

pick one

>>150726638 (OP)
not a real sport.

>>150726755
shirt colors duh

>>150728113
Koshien is huge

>>150738841
can they even see them tho?

Because anime or sumthin

I remember when Japan literally never gave a shit about football. But now that they do they have arguably the best currently growing grassroot and cultural following of footy when you consider they only started caring from the 1990s.

The Koreans seem to be a bit physically stronger and the Japs are better technically, at least the ones in the PL. There was a clip of China vs some African meme team and the difference in physicality was pretty stark

China not numba wan
