　　路透社吉隆坡消息，中国和中国香港已经接到“警告”，对于在11月17日进行的一场关键的2006世界杯亚洲区预选赛比赛结果需要特别小心。为了晋级在明年进行的亚洲区八强决战，中国队必须要大胜中国香港才可以从第四小组突围而出。上个月科威特以1-0击败中国，从而依靠净胜球优势升至积分榜首位。

　　目前，科威特比中国队有多两个净胜球的优势，他们在最后一轮将坐镇主场迎战此前还未有胜绩的马来西亚，这几乎就可以确定他们将占据八强战的一个席位。

　　亚足联秘书长维拉潘在接受路透社采访时说“国际足联和亚足联都会高度关注这场比赛，如果出现任何不“规矩”的现象，他们最好做好承担责任的准备。”这也是维拉潘对媒体披露的，中国香港曾表示中国足协对他们施加压力以期望在最后一场比赛中翻身的报道所做出的一个回应。曾经为英国殖民地的中国香港在1997年已经成功回归中国，但是他们在体育方面仍保持着独立参赛权。

　　曾在2002年首次打入世界杯决赛圈的中国队，在决赛圈的三场比赛中，三战皆负且一球未进。不过在荷兰籍主帅阿里-哈恩的带领下稳步上升的中国队现在却面临着即将失去参加2006德国世界杯决赛圈的资格，这对中国足球而言是一个沉重打击。亚洲区方面，每个小组的头名球队将有资格晋级第二轮的八强决战，目前沙特阿拉伯，日本，乌兹别克斯坦，巴林和朝鲜都已经顺利获得了八强赛的资格。

　　KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 (Reuters) - China and Hong Kong were warned on Friday against fixing the result of next month's key 2006 World Cup qualifier.

　　China must beat Hong Kong by a wide margin in their last Group Four match on November 17 to have any chance of advancing to next year's final round of Asian qualifiers.

　　Kuwait beat China 1-0 in midweek to go top on goal difference.

　　The Gulf side, who are two goals better off than China, are at home to winless Malaysia in their final match and now favourites to claim the one qualification spot.

　　"Both FIFA and the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) will be watching the matches very carefully," AFC general secretary Peter Velappan told Reuters.

　　"If there is any funny business, they will face the music."

　　Velappan was responding to media reports in Hong Kong claiming the China Football Association could put pressure on their "little brother" to roll over in their final match.

　　Former British colony Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 but retains sporting independence.

　　China made their World Cup finals debut in 2002 but lost all three matches and failed to score a single goal.

　　However, they have made steady progress under Dutch coach Arie Haan and failure to qualify for the 2006 World Cup in Germany would be a major blow for Chinese soccer.

　　The top team from each of the eight second-round groups progresses to the final round of Asian qualifiers. Saudi Arabia, Japan, Uzbekistan, Bahrain and North Korea are already through.
