If you don’t qualify then you have to play some friendlies or you won’t play a game for a year. That said I like the fact that we are playing in the China cup against quality opposition with a bit of a competitive edge to it, maybe the FAW could think of hosting something similar in the future so we don’t have to travel half way around the world.
