　　Fans burst into cheers as China's 44 - year effort to reach the World Cup finals was finally fulfilled in Shenyang on October 7,2001 with a 1 - 0 win over Oman in the Asian qualifier (合格者).

　　Happy fans throughout the world's most populous country rushed into the night to celebrate the historic victory for which they have waited for decades. Expectations of a Chinese victory against the Oman team were so high that celebrations had been prepared beforehand and started at the stadium immediately following the match. “Today is the most important day in my life,” said Zhang Jingquan, a 23 - year - old man who has recently graduated from a university in Beijing.

　　The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage (到处进行暴力) and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing. While in European countries people have always been aware of football's power to make supporters react in such a strong and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response. The May 19 incident had the effect of drawing more fans to the games rather than turning them away.

In fact, football is becoming such a focus of interest that even football fans are becoming famous.

　　The reason that football has become so popular is that anyone can he a supporter. You do not have to take exams to be supporter, you even don't have to be able to play football!

　　The competitive nature of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group. With its fierce competition and mass participation, football is unique (独特的). It is the world's number one sport. The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators (观众) to look on fearfully.
