Javier Zanetti:
What are your impressions of Chinese football?
Chinese football has the potential to grow a lot. It is an important country that in a few years can reach the same standards of historically important footballing nations.

just wait and see china in a couple of years times

Maybe in 10-20 years time, 2 years is too soon, the current crop of players is average at best.

no way! 3028 will go to Nepal hands down! It's all because in 3026 FIFA (then known as FICA, Federation of Corrupted A-holes) allows yetis to play national football.

Chinese football?
O~
I only hope it can join the world cup.
I never think China will win the World Cup in the future.

Probably after 200-300years. There is no way just within 2 years.
you need to face the reality.

With my sympathies to the non-European nations, I don't believe that any of them may be able to win the World Cup at least for the next 15 years.

Why? Just look at the past. Several non-E/SA nations have worked hard, invested loads of money, brought foreign coaches etc. - with what result? One single semi-final by South Korea, in front of the home crowd. Of course, the trends are rising, but I don't believe that those nations will not be able to win the WC in the near future.

China certainly has big potential - having world's largest population, lacking other sports comparing in popularity with "zuqiu", and promising to have excellent economic results over the next decade. When a non EUR/SA team will win the WC for the first time, that team may well be China. But not so soon.

I dont think so I think the temas with most possibilites are the african teams..I also think that temas from Concacaf have more chances than AFC teams...

I used to think so, but they've been declared the hidden favourites for more than a decade and so far only two of them made to the quarter-finals.

Both Africans and Asians do progress, however the pace of progress is faster in the teams from the East Asia.
