I like to watch football. But felt bored after watching China football team did not shoot after more then 60 minutes. Anyone can explain the logic here?

From what I understand the Chinese soccer team has always been a disappointment.

 

I've heard severals reasons why over the years... 

 

:guanxi - those who get picked for the teams have well connected fathers but are not necessarily the best players.

:Chinese kids not having the time or places to go and kick around a ball after school with their friends. Homework is more important to most parents.

: Corruption

:Lack of social sport clubs, if you want coaching it'll be very expensive.

 

I'd guess it's a combination of these.

The soccer players are required to run after only one ball for the whole 90 minutes ... surprise

I think, that is the biggest problem ... laugh

 

When I was a kid, we each had one ball ...

My biggest problem was being born with two left feet....

It sounds much nicer and not as offensive when you say:

"This player has two left feet ...", i.e. can't play soccer wisely ...

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
