I remember thinking at the time, beating the worlds most populated country with all the people they have to choose from must be a good omen although I had no idea where they stood in the world order, it was well before the rankings were introduced. If I remember rightly they were on some sort of a charm offensive with FIFA because they wanted to start playing in the World Cup as politically they had not been able to.
 
Morning coluka, it was the famous team announcement from Bernard Gent, after announcing all the Boro players he then said & the Chinese team is as in the programme
