media - Reports on soccer defeat vary

I just had a short look at the first report on the unfortunately loss last night when Japan won from China in the Asian Cup Final 3-1. While the China Daily - copying a report by Xinhua - tells
that the way Japan won was disputed, the report lacks details the newswires did report. They do mention that the Dutch coach Arie Haan was rather upset, but failed to point out he even refused to join the celebrations afterwards and did not collect his runner-up medal, the strong anti-Japanese sentiments that dominated the event, and the - minor - rioting that took place outside the Workers' Stadium after the match. AP reports the anti-Japanese were modest, compared to earlier events.
