China's men's national soccer (football) team lost 1-0 yesterday in a friendly match played in Seattle, Washington, against the Mexican national team. Cesar Villaluz scored the night's lone goal in the 14th minute.This story in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer describes the pre-game scene at the stadium; it sounds like Mexican fans were much better represented despite the fact that Seattle also has a sizable Chinese population. "The fans for Mexico was its 12th player on the pitch," said China's coach Vladimir Petrovic.
According to the International Herald-Tribune, the Dalai Lama was also in Seattle this week, to speak at a conference.
