Commentator earns red card

Commentator earns red card :

"Huang later said: 'I was hoping the Australians would do badly here (in Germany). I don't like Australians.'

He explained, while offering a partial apology, that this was because Australia has joined the Asian Football Confederation, and will thus contest for the Asian places in World C"

We have a lot of Chinese Australians and Australian Chinese. The Chinese were one of the nations which worked in the early days of Federation in the development of our mining communities in particular. So our Chinese attachment has a strong foundation and the Chinese people who live here are part of us and our culture. So here we have a mixed community of Chinese families who have a long history here and recent arrivals who now call Australia home. Australia has a European and Asian headset and that is why we are unique because that is all blended with the tribal ties we have and the tribal people who have been here forever. We heard Huang Jianxiang's comments and they were translated for us . We can deal with one eyed. There are lots of people here who are one eyed about their football team, but the rule is generally while you are one eyed about your own team winning, you don't actually put the opposing side down. I think it would be nice for Huang Jianxiang to come and visit us. Maybe he would then hate us less in such a high profile way. I don't know about a red card...he ought to have red ears by now. Was a bit unfair.
