FIFA World Cup Qualifier 08.10.2005 Germany Note: [1] Until 1934, the Chinese selections were exclusively or predominantly composed of players from South China AA (aka Nan Hua), a Chinese club based in Hong Kong. The matches between 1939 and 1942 were played during the Japanese occupation of (most of coastal) China, after the Nanking massacre of 1937, and did not involve any independent official Chinese football association or organisation. [2] Now Indonesia. The current Indonesian FA (PSSI) does not recognise the pre-war matches of the Dutch East Indies played by representative teams from the N.I.V.B. (until 1935) or N.I.V.U. (since 1936) but both were full FIFA members at the time. [3] Now Changchun, People's Republic of China. "Manchuria" (aka Manchukuo) was a Japanese puppet state in northeastern China. [4] Now Korea (South and North). Kyungsung is the old name of Seoul. At that time (during WW II) Chosun was not a independent state, but governed by Japan. [5] Old name of Malaysia. [6] Since then, China means People's Republic of China. [#] Before World War II, when Japan colonized Korea, some Korean players played for Japan national team. [*] JFA didn't count those matches as full internationals. [-] FIFA didn't count those Olympic matches as full internationals. [=] Japan sent U-21 squad for Asian Games 1998.
