According to ABC News ‘people’ are concerned that the Socceroos game against Argentina in China will be used as propaganda by the CCP.

I don’t recall such concern over the AFL ‘cosying up’ to the Chinese Ambassador in their latest attempt at getting their game into China.

Don't know about propaganda however Adidas must have made a shitload in jersey sales in China based on last nights game.. Dont think Argenitna has EVER played in front of a 99.9% crowd all wearing Argenitina gear before.

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).

if the ABC is saying it then it is 100 percent bullshit - bunch of left wing racist pretending to be journalist
