well, if there is no Chinese country participating then I don't think the match will be exciting, because it cannot be denied that China is the toughest opponent in every sporting match, they have extraordinary strength. so there is no harm if there are still players from China who are participants in this match.
Actually, it can be denied... I love betting in football against China when they face some of the inner Asia opponents or even Taipei at times. They're not shit, they've been improving a lot but they're still not up to World Cup par -- do you realise a large portion of goals scored in their leagues are from imports?
Maguire is really a horrible player. His defending has been shit for Manchester United and I really ask myself to date why they spent so much in that player. He even isn't really worth above 20m Euro. I hardly think his absence would be felt in this upcoming match against Iceland but Iceland are also capable of upsetting big teams.
As a Liverpool supporter, you have no idea how much I loved every moment seeing Maguire's confused face look when he does a blunder. But as a neutral supporter watching him play for England at the last World Cup was actually very nice!
