What is the mystery of China's absence at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?
The United States, the most influential country on the planet, has no interest in the World Cup.
Our country, on the other hand, the second largest economy in the world, has not set foot on the World Cup stage.
This begs the question of whether the World Cup has become merely an entertainment show for other countries.
Perhaps this is a reflection of the wisdom of our ancestors - "USCHO" means that neither the US nor China is involved in soccer.
Could it be that the national soccer team is not good enough to qualify for the World Cup?
How good is the National Football League?
In the 92-year history of the World Cup since 1930, only three national teams have beaten the Chinese national team.
They are Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica.
Even a soccer powerhouse like Brazil has only beaten the national team once.
What's more, the national soccer team has never lost a penalty shootout in the World Cup, and the number of goals conceded is much lower than that of Brazil and Italy.
Yet no soccer team has ever beaten the national team twice in World Cup history.
Spain, Argentina, France, Belgium and other so-called soccer powers have not even had the opportunity to compete with the national football team.
