No exams, no failures! The national football team has been inactive for 6 months, yet still ranks 93rd in the world and 14th in Asia.

It's said that avoiding exams means no chance of failing. This might reflect the national team's situation: long without a coach, no matches played, and no involvement in international competitions, which ironically has kept their world ranking stable.

The latest update from FIFA's world rankings,shows the national team still placed 93rd worldwide and 14th in Asia.Did you know? Since the national team was eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers and Ivanković was dismissed, and after last July’s East Asian Cup, the team has been without a coach for a long time. The football association’s slow process in appointing a new coach has caused the team to go over six months without playing any matches. They missed three consecutive international match windows in September, October, and November, losing six opportunities to compete internationally and strengthen the squad. Frankly, our football association operates amateurishly, and our football is still in a childish stage. Even if the head coach leaves, there are assistant coaches or temporary appointments possible, so missing three international windows is extremely rare in the football world.

As long as we don’t play, we won’t lose. This is a helpless joke among fans. Now with Shao Jiayi taking charge, we hope the national team can adopt a professional approach, seize every international match opportunity, and regularly face stronger opponents. Losing or dropping in rankings doesn’t matter; what counts is improving players through high-quality matches. Hopefully, Shao Jiayi, who has experience playing in the Bundesliga, can guide the national team onto the right path!
