Jellied eels are disgusting but if you renamed it โNatto Unagiโ or something and told Americans itโs a Japanese delicacy theyโd pay $30 for a plate and lap it up.
A lot of people have been asking why Chinese Football is so bad despite Chinese dominance in Olympics sports, and the answer is really simple.
China does produce footballing talent, unlike India it quite often does make Asian cups, can get into the later rounds of world cup qualifiers, and does at the youth level now have far better teams.
China's issue is that its domestic league is far too comfortable for its top talent, and it doesn't have many linkages at present to top European leagues. That's where the frontier is so to speak, and without regukar exposure to that you can't match it.
The entire reason why Korea + Japan's national team has improved is that it now reguarly exports its best players to European leagues by their early to mid 20s.
The best chinese players aren't really down for this, the domestic league is rich enough, and with the choice being keep making millions in China, and having a lit life with endless Chinese baddies around you, or trading that to go to some shitty European team with bad weather, well the choice is obvious.
China also decided to abandon their early to mid 2010s trend of increasing the competitiveness of their local league, so it is what it is.
Iโd never heard of Cape Verde before this World Cup, now I will never forget them. Congrats to the whole squad, and especially the 40yr-old goalkeeper @vozinhapr whose heroics earned him 20m followers on Instagram. Fabulous story. ๐๐

I genuinely thought Karoline Leavitt was 45 but sheโs actually 28 which makes her a Zoomer married to a an almost boomer, 32 years her senior, who happens to be a multimillionaire.
Rich of her to trash her own generation & cry about silver spoons.
@Flynn_T1982 Every vanguard is disposable. That's what a vanguard is: a force that goes ahead of the army to trigger traps, ambushes, get the enemy to reveal its nature and scale so that the body of the army has time to prepare for the battle proper.
JUST IN: ๐บ๐ธ White House Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt says "Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths."

World Cup gyaan: Cabo Verde has a population less than South Mumbai BUT the smallest nations often tell the biggest stories. Thatโs the enduring magic of the World Cup. Viva Cabo Verde, you may have lost to Argentina but won our hearts: you are the toast of the world ! ๐จ๐ปโฝ
Sometimes I see work ethic of people who grew up in third world countries and it's kind of insane when they're put in a first world job market + are smart with their money.
