Apart from our share of the gate did the FFA get any financial incentive from the Chinese government to make the Socceroos available as suitable opponents for Argentina?Great if they did and as the mainstream Australian media as usual hardly mentioned the game so who cares if it was some propaganda exercise.
It wasn't as if our team had to kowtow to Xi Li.Prior to WW2 England played Germany in Berlin and the English FA instructed their players to give the Hitler salute prior to the game( their had been a request from some Nazi bigwig for this to happen).
