Fans of Guangzhou Evergrande cheer during the AFC Champions League match between Gamba Osaka and Guangzhou Evergrande in Osaka, Japan, Oct. 21, 2015.popeye sez... Final score was nill to nill..what a snoozer. For some reason that I do not understand Guangzhou Evergrande has reached the final game of this tournament even though the game ended in a tie..WTH???.(Xinhua/Liu Dawei)
Allow me to give a little insight into the world of association football.
The above mentioned "0-0" match, played at the home stadium of Gamba Osaka is in fact the Second Leg, out of a "2-leg" tie, and which might not be as boring as the scoreline suggests, since a total of 23 shots on goal were produced throughout the match, which wasn't terribly bad for a football match.
The First Leg, played at the home stadium of Guangzhou Evergrande, was won by Guangzhou with a scoreline of 2-1. Therefore, the combined score of both legs is 2-1, giving victory to Guangzhou.
* However, if Gamba Osaka were to win the Second Leg 1-0, thus resulting in a combined score of 2-2, the victors would be Osaka, and not a draw. This is because of the "Away Goals" Rule. Which is, when a combined score is a draw, the victors shall be the team that scores the most goals at an opponent's home stadium. In this hypothetical example, Osaka scoring 1 goal at Guangzhou's home, and Guangzhou failing to score at Osaka's.

Both Popeye and test bd are not fan of association football that's why they don't understand it. In short, the rules determine that Evergrande wins.
For a long time, people say Chinese cars are as bad as their football (and vice versa). Evergrande makes people think different. They have been champion for the AFC Champion Leagues for many years. However, there are many world class players in the team. What makes me feel amazing is that they are willing to invest in those multi-millions players. Can football in China return that much revenue?

Breathtaking autumn scenery in Mt. Huashan
Huashan Mountain is about 35 kilometers away from Huma county in northeast China's Heilongjiang province. It is one of the top 100 scenery spots in Heilongjiang, ranked after the famous Beiji (Arctic) Village. The magnificent view at Huashan makes it look just like an oil painting, which is why it was named "Huashan" as "Hua" means painting in Chinese.
