In China, as the national team continue with their exhibition schedule ahead of their World Cup qualifying campaign set for the fall. Gao Hongbo's side will play neighbours Kazahstan in Dalian. This will be the second game in a week for the PRC, as they are coming off a 4-2 victory over Trinidad & Tobago.

It will be a homecoming for a good portion of the national team -- as six are Dalian natives. The Chinese squad are not familiar with Kazakhstan, as the side has been playing in Europe for more than a decade, as they became members of UEFA in 2002. Members of the team believe their tactics will be similar to Uzebekstan and Syria, who, China will face in their World cup qualifying. China has won three straight games, beating the Maldives, Qatar and Trinidad & Tobago. Another victory would set the national team record for most wins in international A level games.
