china vs japan, staged in beijing on saturday.

most interesting is not the sport of soccer - it's all about politics...

territorial disputes...
historical arguments...
nationalism...
name-calling...

it's a match japan can't win or lose. if they win, most likely is that the chinese fans will rush into the pitch and riot. if they lose, most likely is that the chinese fans will rush into the pitch and riot.

sad...very sad...
