<p> <strong>Survey:</strong> <a href="http://survey.news.sina.com.cn/survey.php?id=47543" target="_blank">What do you think about fans suing the men's national football team to demand qualification for the World Cup?</a></p>
<p> Local news (reported by Wang Lina): A Chengdu fan, Mr. Chen, has sued the Chinese national men's football team, expressing his disappointment with their performance and requesting the court to order the men's football team to qualify for a <a href="http://2010.sina.com.cn/" target="_blank">World Cup</a> and reach the quarterfinals. It was reported yesterday that Mr. Chen had mailed the complaint to the Chongwen Court. After receiving the complaint, the court will decide within seven days whether to accept it. Both Mr. Chen, who is a lawyer, and legal experts have stated that the case has little chance of being accepted by the court.</p>
<p> Mr. Chen said that since 1997, he has been following Chinese football, but the men's football team's performance has disappointed him. The first appearance of the men's football team in the World Cup was in 2002, but they lost all three matches, conceding nine goals without scoring any. In the 2010 South Africa World Cup, the men's football team once again became spectators, which made him, as a fan, feel disheartened. Not only did they fail to qualify for the World Cup, but also due to issues such as match-fixing, manipulation, and biased refereeing, the men's football team became a laughing stock among Chinese fans.</p><a href='http://www.xingnvlang.cn' target='_blank'>Free Movies</a><a href='http://www.xingnvlang.cn' target='_blank'>Shopping</a>
<p> Mr. Chen said that since the men's football team was established and began receiving benefits, they entered into an unwritten "football contract" with the fans. The men's football team has the obligation to score goals and qualify for the World Cup, while the right of the fans is to watch and gain excitement and joy from qualifying for the World Cup. The failure of the men's football team to fulfill their obligations seriously in various World Cup qualifiers and matches has prevented him and many other Chinese fans from gaining excitement and joy through Chinese football. Therefore, Mr. Chen filed a lawsuit, requesting the court to order the men's football team to qualify for a World Cup and reach the quarterfinals, bringing excitement and joy to him as a fan.</p><a href='http://www.xingnvlang.cn' target='_blank'>All Free</a>
<p> Yesterday, Mr. Chen mailed the complaint to the court. It is reported that after receiving the complaint, the court will decide within seven days whether to initiate the case.</p>
<p> <strong>■Dialogue</strong></p>
<p> <strong>Hope to trigger thoughts to save the men's football team</strong></p>
<p> Reporter: Why are you filing this lawsuit?</p>
<p> Mr. Chen: This is a way for me to show my care for Chinese football. I hope that through this lawsuit, it will provoke thought among the media, hundreds of millions of fans, and the Chinese Football Association. Fans have lost trust in the men's football team, and I hope to rebuild a healthy interactive relationship between fans and the men's football team.</p>
<p> Reporter: Do you think the court will accept it?</p>
<p> Mr. Chen: There are issues with the litigation subject and request in this case, so the court will likely not accept it. First, the men's football team does not have independent legal person status. Second, calling this a contractual dispute is somewhat forced.</p>
<p> Reporter: Will some people think you're hyping yourself up?</p>
<p> Mr. Chen: Some people say I am hyping or seeking fame, but more have supported me. I am calm and will view this inclusively. Only then can Chinese football have hope, and Chinese fans have expectations.</p>
<p> <strong>■Expert Opinion</strong></p>
<p> <strong>The court has no authority to rule on scoring goals</strong></p>
<p> Professor Zhou Junye of Peking University Law School stated that it would be very difficult for the court to accept this case. From the perspective of the cause of action, according to the Contract Law, there is no written or oral contract relationship between the two parties. From the perspective of civil litigation subjects, the defendant must be a legal entity or individual capable of independently assuming civil liability, and the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, with their interests infringed upon. A fan is not a legal concept and does not have a direct interest with the men's football team. Mr. Chen's request for the court to order the men's football team to enter the World Cup, “the court does not have this power, isn't this a joke?”</p>
