Ultimately, the power of the North Korean women's soccer team cannot be ignored, and if they are able to beat Japan, the outlook for China becomes extremely bleak. The consolation is that the strength of the Vietnamese team is clearly underdogs, they lost 0-6 in North Korea and were swept 0-10 in front of Japan, so the Chinese women's soccer team may still be able to seize the opportunity to enter the last eight.
Young players need to realize that participation in the tournament is a rare opportunity. The World Cup at all age groups is an excellent stage for them to showcase their talents, and once they miss it, they may never have such an opportunity again. Given that the women's national team failed to qualify for the Olympics, if the U20s miss out on the World Cup, it will have a profound effect on the future of women's soccer.
This problem is not unique to women's soccer. The performance of the men's team in this year's Asian Cup is also worrying, with a record of 0 goals, 1 loss and 2 draws, and after the loss in the warm-up match in Hong Kong, people are worried about the results of the qualifying matches.The performance of the teams in various age groups, such as the U17s and the U20s, is also unsatisfactory, which seems to be a phenomenon of "reverse inheritance".
It is difficult to continue to imagine such a situation. It is expected that the women's soccer team will be able to create a "fabulous" victory and win overwhelmingly against their opponents and be favored by "Lady Luck".
