ok... peace peace

 

apologies to anyone who finds this thread offensive

 

here's a football joke

 

Police have been forced to warn people not to waste their time after a Manchester United fan rang 999 to complain about Nani's sending-off against Real Madrid.

 

The controversial red card garnered plenty of column inches and an 18-year-old in Nottinghamshire felt it was so egregious that he phoned the police to report it as a crime.

 

He later apologised for the call, claiming to have been caught up in the excitement.

 

"While this recent example may be amusing, it illustrates the sort of insincere calls we have to deal with on a daily basis in the control room," chief inspector Ted Antill said.

 

"They waste our time and they direct us away from genuine victims of crime, particularly if we dispatch officers out to something that turns out to be a bogus report."

 

Nottinghamshire police recorded 6,933 hoax calls in 2012

If football in Asia pays good money, I'm sure they will be good players. Plus you and your family cannot eat the ball for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

Looking at Europe and Asia, Asia football do not generate that kind of money Europe does. Ppl actually make more money being a bookie fixing matches. It's also becoming a problem. Even a Sgporean w/o football talent can fix matches until the interpol is after him.

 

Asians are too smart for football. Being a football player in Asia is not going to pay well and they know that. It's much more lucrative being a bookie plus they dun have to chase after a ball until hair hair chuan.

Chinese will never encourage their kids to take up sports...

 

So difficult that we can see our young Chinese kids good in soccer...

No choice, this had been like that since ancient past. since the time chinese had been emphasising on academic result that is why we have imperial Exam in the history.

there are poor scholar in the system too.. Like now, the rich are likely to have a better chance of passing as they have the money not to do anything. but still there are poor scholar who are successful.

Undoubtedly, success in the examinations was easier for the well-off. In the late Qing period in particular, corruption was widespread; examiners could be bribed, and early stages of the exam process could be skipped for a fee. Tutors, books and brushes all cost money, so poor candidates were at a disadvantage even during periods when bribery was frowned upon. Despite this, many poor scholars did succeed in their ambitions. During the Qing period, over a third of jinshi degree holders came from families with little or no educational background. Nor was the system biased towards the inhabitants of the capital. Degrees were awarded to scholars from throughout China; indeed the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang boasted the greatest number of jinshi graduates

ya lah

 

i'm the one who said that football is not in Chinese's DNA...

 

the fact is there are more than 2 billion Chinese in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore (referring to race), but we are not able to produce a single good (never mind world class) player on global stage

 

The Koreans and Japanese can do it... but why we Chinese can't?

 

food for thought

It seems like Chinese are good in games that require techniques and movement (badminton, table tennis) while bad at those that require strength (tennis, soccer, rugby).
