The North Korean Women Football [Soccer] Team is not the only team preparing for the Beijing Olympics. The Chinese Women Football [Soccer] Team is also preparing for the Beijing Olympics. In an interview published by the Xinhua News Agency and the CRI English Website, the Fitness Coach of the Chinese Women Football [Soccer] Team Mark Laws commented about the players improvement [in fitness] since June 2008 at the Female Asian Cup. China will play its first game against Sweden in Women’s Football [Soccer].

While I support China against Sweden, China has to have discipline and tenacity in order to win the gold medal in Women’s Football [Soccer]. According to the rankings by FIFA on the 6th of June 2008, The United States of America is in First Place with 2,200 followed by Germany with 2,174, and Sweden with 2087 points. China is in 14th place with 1,891 points behind 6th place North Korea [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] and their 2,038 points. While China lost to North Korea in the Asian Cup Qualifiers, it has been able to cast aside the defeat in order to concentrate in the Olympics. I would like to wish the best for the Chinese National Football [Soccer] Team regardless of whether it is Men’s Football [Soccer] or Women’s Football [Soccer].
