The sender says he is envious of Canada because we are the FIFA World Cup. China hasn't been to the World Cup in 21 years (Canada officially finished in last place). The last time (and their only appearance) China was at the World Cup was in 2002, when Japan and South Korea co-hosted the tournament. Brazil, the eventual champions, defeated China 4-0; China lost to Costa Rica 2-0; and to Turkey 3-0. It was a tough group for China as they had to play the eventual champions, Brazil, and the eventual third place champions, Turkey. China, however, did not finish in last place in the 32 team tournament. Instead, Saudi Arabia finished 32nd, while China was 31st. Slovenia rounded out the bottom three at 30th place. All three of the bottom teams did not earn a single point in the tournament. Slovenia did score 2 goals, while China and Saudi Arabia didn't score a single goal.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
