On September 5th, the FIFA 2026 World Cup Asia preliminaries in the first round of the first round of the World Cup, the Chinese National Football Team lost 0-7 away to Japan.After the game, the European balls where Japanese players stayed abroad congratulated their players on the official social platform. Chinese fans have no choice but to say that the national football team has lost 0-7.

In fact, the most bitterness in the heart should be countless Chinese fans and audiences. The skills are not as good as others, and they are not so miserable. They are so cold that the bottom pants are gone.However, in all fairness, this is the real level of the Chinese men's football team in the world. However, the Chinese men's football team has the opportunity to show their face and participate in the world -recognized evaluation system and standards internationally.Near ugly.

Thinking about it is that how many industries in China may be the level of men's football, only if you don't go internationally, you can avoid the embarrassment and humiliation of seeing the death of light.Some industries have self -knowledge, and they are not willing to appear in the world. For example, some universities have quietly withdrawn from international rankings.

Speaking, football is just an entertainment activity. It is a good or bad, the ranking is good, and the loss is won. Is it necessary to be so heartbroken, such as funeral testing and unable to survive?However, through some reference departments, we can see that the Chinese people's anger for men's football is not arguing, and there is a profound reason for their misfortunes.

The status of the weak chicken and rookie of Chinese men's football team is not proportional to the volume behind it.This volume includes the population and land area.With the number of people and the wide range of land area, no matter how to choose, the Chinese men's football should not be ranked 88th in the world and ranked 13th in Asia.Compared with Japan, it was only one -tenth of a population, and a country with an area of ​​25 was poured by 7-0, which was enough.Moreover, comparison from historical confrontation also gives Chinese people a sense of shame and humiliation.

Another comparison is the men's football player, and the ancestors of the Chinese are still generous.In the 1917 Tokyo Far East Games, Chinese men were enough to win Japan 5-0; in the 1921 Shanghai Far East Games, Chinese men were enough to win Japan 4-0; in the 1923 Osaka Far East Games, Chinese men were enough to win Japan 5 to 1; 1925 The Manila Far East Games in 1925Chinese men are enough to win Japan 2-0; in the 1930 Tokyo Far East Games, Chinese men were enough to draw Japan 3-3, Japan refused to over time, and China won. In the 1934 Manila Far East Games, Chinese men were enough to win Japan 4 to 3.

Even in modern times, the Chinese team won Japan 3-2 at the East Asian Games in 1993; in 1998, China won Japan 2-0.Just after 2000, China never defeated Japan, the best results were kicking.

From this, there is also another gap judgment that cannot be pushed off. The progress of the Japanese team is far greater than that of the Chinese team, or that China is walking in place, and Japan is walking forward.Moreover, another reason to refute is that, as East Asians, in terms of physical fitness, response, speed, strength, balance and other sports talents, China and Japan are exactly the same.In addition, the height, weight and strength of the Chinese men's football team are better than the Japanese, but the Chinese team was surpassed by Japan after 2000, and it was not a curve overtaking, but the international system of integration into the football.In various aspects such as operation and player training, Japan won a lot.

There is also an important reference department for Chinese men's football, which is both domestic and international.Other Chinese sports projects are either internationally scrambled gold or winning silver, such as table tennis and diving. At the just -concluded Paris Olympic Games, the total number of Chinese gold medals is tied with the United States with 40 yuan, but the number of medals is ranked.Second, there are 91 pieces, and the United States is 126.Japan ranked third in the top of the gold medal (20) and the total number of medals (45).

However, the gold medals and medals in China are obtained by other advantage projects, such as table tennis, badminton, diving, weightlifting, gymnastics, shooting, and only lack three major balls, basketball and volleyball.Men's football team is even more waiting. In 2002, it reached the Finals of the World Cup in Korea and Japan. Now it is still kicked by Japan 7-0.

Another remarkable reference is that China is just a large sports country on the surface rather than a real sense, because in the three major ball projects, in addition to the women's volleyball team and women's football, they can get international rankings, or they are among the world's first -class second -class teams.The track and field of men's three major balls and the mother of the representative movement are their weaknesses. As a result, China is not a major sports country.Moreover, in the three major balls and track and field projects, China has no room for retreat. Unless you close the door, you will no longer participate in international competitions, to participate in and obtain international reputation and high ranking, you must integrate into the international system.

The Chinese men's football team lost 0-7 to Japan. In addition to being a bitter reference mark, it is also a relatively optimistic reference.Compared with the events and situations in other fields, the Chinese men's football team loses, and the public can also make a head -up, even criticizing, accusing, and abuse. The Chinese men's football team dare not refute, but only accepts it.Critics do not have to worry about scolding the Chinese men's football when they will be hung, check the water meters, and prohibit their voice.Moreover, in a sense, the Chinese men's football team also plays a gas outlet in Chinese society, which is also contributed to society.

Allowing others to criticize and point out mistakes is the beginning of progress.If you really want to be a big sports country, football, volleyball, basketball and track and field projects are not just to spend their salary, but more importantly, integrate into the international system, use the world's best theory, experience and methods to train these projects to train these projects.Or for the work of several generations, see if Chinese men's football can turn over, can they raise their eyebrows and breathe.
