On Monday, China released the head coach of the men’s national soccer team after a fruitless World Cup qualifying run (report). Hours before the NBA draft, Chinese basketball player Yi Jianlian was traded to the New Jersey Nets in a deal that sent Richard Jefferson to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks then drafted Joe Alexander, a Taiwan-born, Chinese-speaking American (report). The Chinese Swimming Association banned Olympic hopeful Ouyang Kunpeng for life after he failed a drug test (report). Days later, seven other Chinese athletes, including Olympic wrestler Luo Meng, were also found to be doping (report).

Comments on China's Zheng Jie in Wimbledon semi finalssoon or later, the world will know that the Chinese people conquer the world. I suppose it's going to be much much "later" if Chinese people are to conquer the World Cup! Agree with Spelunker... China can hardly become a superpower before soccer teams perform better. Well, my bad to link sports with politics at this time. But I think it's true. |
