"B, B, B——" On the lush green field, a Greek named Vassilios Skountis, dressed in a yellow referee's uniform, blew the final whistle. With both hands spread out, pointing in opposite directions, the match was over! China's first World Cup match had ended! The score on the big screen at the stadium was frozen at China 0:2 Costa Rica. Players on the field, drenched in sweat, wiped their foreheads and exchanged jerseys, with the Costa Rican players all beaming with the joy of victory; while some of the Chinese team were expressionless, and quite a few others were smiling.
