China's soccer team is set to fail to qualify for the World Cup six times in a row. Then, the team is facing another happy occasion. Realistically, however, it seems to be nothing but a dream.
China's Sohu reported on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that "A big twist! Australia violated the rules. If the Chinese national soccer team succeeds in the appeal, it will rise from the bottom to the fourth place with a 3-0 confiscation victory."
The Chinese national team was completely defeated by Australia 0-2 in the eighth Group C match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium in Hangzhou, China on the 25th. Veteran goalkeeper Wang Daray shook his head as he made a fatal mistake of letting the rolling ball flow through his legs.
As a result, China lost three games in a row and failed to escape from the bottom. The team had two wins and six losses to maintain the six-point level. The team shares the same point with Bahrain, which is ranking fifth, but has -13 goals, which is lagging far behind Bahrain (-8 goals) in goal difference.
In the end, China's chances of advancing to the World Cup finals have completely disappeared. If China fails to advance to the World Cup finals like this, it will fail to advance to the finals for six consecutive years. China has never advanced to the finals since the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan.
However, there is still hope. The number of tickets allocated to Asia has increased to 8.5 starting from this year's Asian Games. China can advance to the fourth Asian qualifying round if it beats Indonesia and Bahrain in the remaining games to rank within the top four. The away match in Indonesia will likely be the biggest challenge.
In the meantime, some shocking claims were made. Australia could be given a forfeiture penalty for playing in a fraudulent game. "Suddenly, I got word that excited fans. It is said that Australia may have violated the rules on the appointment of players," Sohu said.
Center back Cameron Burgess (Ipswich Town) who was born in 1995 was accused of violating the rules. Chinese journalist "Xiao New Sports" claimed that it could be a problem because Burgess played in the Scottish national team by age in October 2013.
If Burgess truly becomes a problem, China's loss to Australia will turn into a 3-0 victory and jump to fourth place instantly. This is China's last hope.
In China, there are rumors that the Chinese government should raise an objection to FIFA as soon as possible. "Many fans suggested that the Chinese national team should gather information as soon as possible and submit an appeal to FIFA for confirmation," Sohu said. "In fact, there are similar cases. In the past, the Equatorial Guinea Football Association and related players were punished by FIFA."
Chinese fans also had heated discussions. According to Sohu, fans commented, "If it really works, it's not possible to go straight, but we can almost certainly go to the fourth qualifying round," "Thank you for your efforts to try every possible way to get three points," and "We should seriously look into it, whether it's true or not."
On the contrary, critical comments such as "It is impossible to advance to the finals even if it is confiscated," "It is disgusting to spread such rumors after losing every time," and "Don't be indecisive."
Contrary to China's wishes, Burgess' participation in the match is unlikely to lead to Australia's forfeiture. Although he is a dual citizen of Australia and Scotland, he has never played in an A-match for Scotland. National team experience by age group is not a problem at all for representing other countries. 토토사이트
Above all, Burgess has already played 11 A-matches for Australia. He chose to play for the Australian national team since September 2023 and also participated in the 2023 Asian Cup. It seems highly unlikely that FIFA, which has not taken issue so far, will suddenly take disciplinary action.
