"We're in 4th place!"
This is the Chinese media's claim. It reported that Australia had violated the rules. Of course, there seems to be no credibility.
"It's a big twist. Australia has violated the rules. If the Chinese national soccer team succeeds in filing a suit, China will win 3-0 and move from the bottom to the fourth place," China's Sohu said on Sunday.
On the 25th, China lost 0-2 to Australia in the eighth round of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and China. China, which recorded its sixth loss (two wins) in the third qualifying round, was at the bottom of the six teams in Group C.
However, Sohu claimed that Australian defender Cameron Burgess (Ipswich Town) may have violated the rules. Burgess, who is a center back, started in the match against China and played full time.
Sohu said Burgess played in the Scottish national team by age in the past, so it was a "rule of rules" to play against China.
Born in Scotland, Burgess played for Scotland's under-18 and under-19 teams between 2013 and 2014. However, he has been playing for the Australian national team since he was selected for the Australian under-20 team in 2014. He made his senior debut for the Australian national team in September 2023.
If Burgess played an A-match in the Scottish senior team, it could be a problem, but it's not a problem at all that he chose Australia after playing for other national age teams. There are a lot of cases where dual-national players play in the A national age team and then go to the B national adult team.
After all, Sohu's claim is a silly cry. Other than that, it did not provide any evidence that Burgess's participation was a "violation."
Sohu even released a ranking table that recalculated points on the premise that Burgess's participation was in violation of regulations. China, which had three points from confiscation wins, ranked fourth, and Australia, which lost points due to confiscation losses, was placed at the bottom.
Some misled Chinese soccer fans are raising their voices that the Chinese Football Association should quickly file a complaint with FIFA. 먹튀검증
China (six points) should seek the third to fourth places, which will be given tickets for the fourth qualifying round regardless of the results of the remaining two matches, as the gap widens to seven points with Australia (13 points), which is the direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup finals in North and Central America. The gap is three points behind Indonesia (nine points), which is ranked fourth.
