[Feels like four years ago, brothers]
[Like hell it does. Four years ago, we only qualified in the final round. Now we're the first team to qualify]
[Brothers, I say the World Cup should be ranked by the order teams qualify. That means China national football team are the champions of the Qatar World Cup]
[Captain GG, sob sob sob, so damn handsome!]
[The Tang Army upstairs needs to calm down. This is a time to value team honors. Chinese football, the glorious Tang era!]
"China Media Group, good evening, dear viewers. The score in the top-left corner of your screen shows the result of today's match. China national football team snatched a late equalizer away to Saudi Arabia. With this match, they have officially secured their place in the Qatar World Cup finals."
"Yes, you heard that right. China national football team are the first team other than hosts Qatar to qualify for the World Cup finals!"
Normally, CCTV5's live broadcast would have ended once the match was over, perhaps with the commentators giving a brief recap.
But today was different. CCTV5 continued its live coverage after the match, showing more than twenty China national football team players walking around on the pitch.
Damn it, how were betting websites supposed to get traffic from post-match interviews after CCTV pulled something like this?
Attentive fans also noticed that around the eighty-ninth minute of the second half, CCTV had changed the programming schedule for Channel 5.
