Wise men know when to go

Poor Xie Yalong. What? You do not know this name? Congratulations. At least you are not a fan of Chinese soccer, men's, I mean. To make it short, he is public enemy No 1 to Chinese soccer fans.

I did not know who he is, either, until "Xie Yalong xia ke" (which translates literally into "class over for Xie Yalong") loomed really big on the Internet horizon. Not necessarily because he is a bad guy. But little doubt he is no good as de facto head of the China Football Association.

So, during the lackluster Olympic contest between South American soccer powerhouses Brazil and Argentina two weeks back, fans cried that out loud. Again, and again.
