"CCTV mistakenly calls it " Wales National Team "! Will Bale, the "Great Sage" who is 3 goals , beating , and the Chinese national football team , change his face? 》
On the evening of March 23, at the second " China Cup " held in Nanning, Bale scored a hat trick, leading the Wales team to abuse the national football team coached by Lippi 6-0.
Real Madrid superstar Bale, who is popular among fans, also said to the media after the game, "This is so cool! The Chinese are treating it so well!".
But, "Great Sage" you, you, are too "unfriendly" to our national football team, right? Is this a little bit of a shame to the host? You are a new record for our national football team to concede goals at home!
However, would it be even more pleasant if Bell heard the words of the host on site yesterday introducing Wales? Or are you very upset? ——The host introduced this: "British Welsh National Team"!
Of course, after all, the word "UK" was first given, rather than being directly called "Welsh National Team" - but, let's search for some reports from Chinese media on the Internet, including CCTV.com's game reports, it was directly written as "Welsh National Team"!
In fact, Wales is called " Duchy of Wales " - the Principality of Wales is only one of the political entities of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), but it is not an independent and sovereign state; the current Prince of Wales is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth - Crown Prince Charles .
"Dule of Wales" has the word "Dule of Wales". Can it be simply called " Wales National Team"? Like the England team, it has never been simply called " England national team " or "British team", but it is called "England team". The distribution of football associations such as
is actually a bit like our China. Of course, we are due to historical reasons - among them, there were also the British Empire that year. For example, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland China were accepted as four football associations by FIFA that year, and like the four British Football Associations, they can participate in FIFA competitions respectively.
In fact, the history of the Principality of Wales is earlier than that of England. But later, it became a consortium of four political entities: England, Northern Ireland, , Wales, and Scotland.
Because modern football originated from the British Isles, when FIFA was first established, the UK joined the associations separately with these four football associations. Therefore, until now, the UK has all four football teams participating in FIFA competitions.
Like Bale, he could have represented England in football, but he still chose Wales, which has been slightly lower in the past. It was led by the superstar "Great Sage" that Wales won the semi-finals of the European Cup.
Of course, for reasons such as lack of historical knowledge or low political awareness in Chinese media, including CCTV.com, they actually directly expressed Welsh football team as the "Welsh national team". Is this happy that Bell, who is both a citizen of the British Empire and a national of the Principality of Wales? Still dissatisfied, it's unknown.
However, if His Highness Elizabeth happened to watch this game, she would obviously not like to listen to the statements of "Welsh National Team"?
