The Chinese fans were out in force to witness a dead rubber (redundant soccer match). However, these fans were certainly delighted to see China "triumph" over Australia in a somewhat frustrating and poor game of football. Whilst the first half was more exciting, the second half definitely caved through the floor.
Of course, Harry Kewell did not celebrate in this fashion. Quite the opposite really. Seeing him on the big screen, he was always cursing and abusing the referee, frustrated by the second rate team Verbeek had opted to play. Moreover, it was a poor display of Australian football with the Aussies not understanding what the essence of counter attack means. Only creating chances from useless long balls, Australia were never going to score. Defensive blunders were just embarassing, even resulting in a pass back. 10 year olds know better than to pass the ball back...
So yes, Harry was rather pissed.
Ah, the Chinese side. Although they knew they weren't going through, a win is a win for them - and they will clutch on to it like no tomorrow. How? BY MARRING THE GAME, FAKING INJURIES AND JUST WASTING TIME. This is not professional. This is not football. If you want to be recognised as a senior team, then you must play the game with integrity and class. The Chinese team have belittled what was a rather entertaining goal with multitudes of time wasting antics and for that, there were two losers on the pitch last night.
