Big event for China this weekend. Hoping as many Chinese fighters win. The purpose of this is to showcase china's MMA development in the last few years.

This team looks a lot better than recent teams. Even with Yao Ming back then, they had problems beating Australia and New Zealand consistently. Wang Junjie has been playing in the NCAA. They need more of this type of player with NCAA experience. A couple of their best Chinese players are not even on this team for various reasons. So this current batch of players looks promising.

*Shakes head* If you asked me in 2000 whether I thought China's national basketball team or China's national soccer team would be the first to be considered "good" or "competent", I would've said soccer. Now, it seems China's soccer team is unlikely to become good before the heat death of the universe.

Soccer is the hardest to get a team to be good at. You need 11 good players which is more than most sports. And they need to work well. And in the most played sport.

There's no single hero. You must have a proper system or you fail. China messed up hard. They only had Wu Lei and now he's too old. And he's one of the few who played overseas. Everyone else sucks.
