Chinese football fans reacted to the Japan national team's 3-1 victory over the Uruguay national team in the Kirin Challenge Cup football match.

In the match held on the 24th, in the 11th minute, Kuryu Matsuki, making his national team debut, scored the opening goal with a left-footed mid-range shot after cutting in. Although they were later equalized, in additional time, Kento Shiogai successfully pushed in a goal from an assist by substitute Ayase Ueda, taking the lead. Furthermore, Ueda broke free from Junya Ito's through pass and scored a goal, securing a 3-1 victory.

From Chinese netizens, comments such as "Samurai Blue, strong," "Amazing," "The accuracy of the Japan national team's long passes and the high level of their trapping and shooting techniques are indeed those of a strong team," "This is the difference (between China and Japan)," "While Japan is playing against a strong team like Uruguay, we are playing against Maldives and Curaçao," and "Chinese people are not suited for football" were heard.

On the other hand, voices like "Uruguay suffered a crushing defeat in the World Cup (W杯), so this score is normal, isn't it?" and "Uruguay is completely in a generational slump now" were heard, as well as comments like "(Japan is) the king of friendly matches," "They are strong in friendly matches, but not in official matches," "They are only strong in friendly matches. They are not a big deal in the World Cup," and "They can get good results in friendly matches, but for some reason, they can't advance in the Asian Cup or the World Cup" were also sporadically seen.

However, in response to this, a counterargument was also received: "Has China ever participated in the World Cup and beaten Germany or Spain?" (Translated/Edited by Kitada)
