Japanese media "Sacker Digest" reported on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) that "the country's media pointed out fundamental problems after China missed the World Cup."
China lost 0-1 to Indonesia in Group C of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the 5th.
China's defeat against Indonesia confirmed China's elimination from the World Cup qualifying round.
China, which is currently ranked sixth in Group C with six points (2 wins and seven losses), will not be able to bring down Indonesia (12 points), which is ranked fourth in the playoffs, even if it wins the final match.
China's dream of advancing to the World Cup finals ended in failure again as it became impossible to leap to fourth place regardless of the final result.
Except for the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan, which was hosted jointly by Korea and Japan, China has never advanced to the World Cup finals. As Korea and Japan did not participate in the preliminary round as host countries, China gained a ticket to the World Cup finals.
Fans expected China to finally be able to advance to the World Cup finals as the number of participating countries in the 2026 North-China World Cup increased to 48 countries, increasing the number of tickets allocated to the Asian region to 8.5, but the Chinese national team showed sluggish performance in the final qualifying round and finished the qualifying round again with a failure to advance to the finals.
According to the media, after China's elimination from the World Cup, Chinese media "Suho" lamented, "The weakest Chinese national team in history fits all of its titles."
"Especially in the last 30 minutes against Indonesia, the players and coaches showed a low level," he added. "In the face of having to strengthen the offense to score an equalizer, he has no ability to threaten the opponent's goal with more than five consecutive passes, and he made mistakes in simple passes and ball control."
He also pointed out, "Coach Branko Ivankovic also did not come up with specific measures."
"China was once called one of the three strongest teams in East Asia along with Japan and Korea," he said. "Since then, Japan and Korea's performances have improved dramatically, but our situation is getting worse."
Meanwhile, Japanese soccer fans questioned the Chinese media's claim that China was classified as one of the top three East Asian soccer powers along with Japan and South Korea in the past.
Fans who heard the report of "Scar Digest" expressed their bewilderment in the comments, saying, "Is there a time like that?" "When was it called?" and "There is no time when China was strong."
