Haidian beat Fangshan 47:0 in Beijing football match

At a Beijing Sports Federation match on Wednesday, the Haidian district boys' soccer team triumphed over Fangshan district by an astonishing 47 goals to nil. The Haidian team was described as "a head taller" than their opponents 

Haidian is a well-to-do district in the north of the city that's home to most of the city's — and indeed most of the country's — top universities, such as Peking University and Tsinghua. It has a population of 3.68 million people and a per capita GDP of RMB107,131, about the same as Slovakia's. Fangshan, on the other hand, is about 38 kilometers from downtown Beijing, a distant suburb of just over one million whose per capita GDP is, at RMB48,514, less than half that of Haidian and similar to that of Botswana.

Netizens were flabbergasted  by the result and said hopefully, "all our hopes of getting the World Cup depend on Haidian..."
