"We came here not as individuals, but on behalf of the whole of China," said midfielder Tang Jiali, according to state media.The squad finally checked out of the hotel on February 6 and flew to Sydney, where the following day they thumped Thailand 6-1 with Tang scoring twice."How could they be sharp after almost 10 days without touching a ball?"
