Was an upset and probably won't happen again for a long time. The Chinese team is still recovering from a load of corruption in the domestic league from what I hear and the bad sportsmanship of the team is pretty famous leading some great players to leave the team. I don't expect China to make it to any major international competitions for many years to come. Quality is extremely lacking.

The win against France came at a time when they were in a rut. After the World Cup, they have recovered nicely and China still needs to grow a lot
