Chinese football team by sex scandal

China is widely derided national soccer team has suffered a further embarrassment after some of his players were photographed apparently, taking girls to their hotel during the Olympic Games.

While other Chinese athletes received adulation during the Beijing games, the football team has been the butt of countless jokes since he lost to Iraq in a World Cup qualification in June.

His reputation was not increased during the Olympic Games, when the team thrash Brazil by 3-0, with two players sent off against Belgium and drew with New Zealand. "It's so beyond a shame that almost looks like a comedy," said Li Chengpeng, a popular writer of sports.

The game against Belgium was still marred by violence when a Chinese player, Tan Wangsong, deliberately kicked a Belgian player in the crotch. "Our team won the gold medal in martial arts," was a joke.

The team is nicknamed guo Zhu, or "domestic pigs," because it is phonetically close to the phrase "national team", zu guo.

The latest scandal came after three players were photographed by fans with a group of girls at a hotel outside the training camp officers. According to an anonymous witness, players were "hugging and embracing" to women. The event took place the night before the 3-0 loss to Brazil.

"I do not think too much in time, but after seeing the game the next day and see how they play terribly, I knew they were not so well the night before!" said the witness.

One of the players has written a self-denunciation, which withdrew from the national team. However, he added: "As for the hotel room incident, let me explain to the leaders at that night, I just went to take a bath, and after the shower, I returned to the team."

His excuse of "taking a bath" has already become popular expression on the Internet as an excuse unconvincing. "You might wonder why I do not swim in the bedroom computer? The truth is that on that day, the water temperature adjustment in our room was not functioning normally," the unnamed player continued, before promising that only spent 30 minutes at the hotel.
