Pakistanis don't like soccer and those who do are not considered good enough by English coaches
Well played by Vietnam to defeat China PR. I saw the highlights and Vietnam is really looking like an improved side and currently is the best side in SEA I believe. Thailand too has shown tremendous progress and if I'm not wrong, Thailand and Vietnam are rivals in SEA. I would love to see Vietnam and India play. India can be a good opponent because India has beaten Thailand both times in the previous two games.Vietnam beat China 3-1 at My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi on February 1, the team's first victory in the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Phan Van Duc replaced Nguyen Tien Linh in the Vietnamese side in the 70th minute, and just six minutes later, Duc beat Chinese goalkeeper Yan Junling to score the third goal for Vietnam.
Vietnam slowed the game down as China got increasingly excited in thirst of goals.

Keeper Manh was in pain and he was replaced by Bui Tan Truong.
In the last minute of the game, China managed to put the ball in Vietnam's net, their only goal in the match./.

CN football team don't have any smart tactic, they just tried to attack VN with "human wave" tactic (tried to use bigger, taller Brazil strikers to brake VN's defense line) but it didn't work. VN quickly scored 2 goals in just 20 mins and the third goal in the second half .:
Wow, Indonesia managed to reach the finals? That's amazing considering Indonesia's current ranking. You should work on your ranking to get better draws in Asian competitions.
We too hit a big low when we drew against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka recently even though we managed to win the SAAF Cup (which we win every time). These things happen, apart from Sunil Chhetri currently we don't have good forwards.
Yes, European teams are quite arrogant and disrespectful to ASEAN's teams, I remembered when VN have a friendly match with Manchester city, they didn't even wanna say "Hello" to the fans. They made VN fans feel sick and VN national Television even terminated the deal with Premier league after that.

True, strikers can be short like Messi as long as they still can run fast, very agile and good at choosing the right place to shoot but the defender, specially center defenders must be from 180 to 190 cm and they must be very smart to stop small and agile strikers, too, but only few of them can do that
Putting wrong people on a pedestal due to the excellent marketing of the English premier league.Yes, European teams are quite arrogant and disrespectful to ASEAN's teams, I remembered when VN have a friendly match with Manchester city, they didn't even wanna say "Hello" to the fans. They made VN fans feel sick and VN national Television even terminated the deal with Premier league after that.

An outraged Vietnamese football fan burned 10 match tickets to watch Manchester City play his national team after being ignored by members of the City team.
The fan burned the tickets in protest against the perceived frosty reception he and other fans were shown as they waited to meet the players in their hotel.
Vietnamese fan burns Man City tickets in protest over 'Sterling snub'
The enraged fan probably won't regret burning his tickets after Vietnam went on to lose the match 8-1
Yep, but actually football is a good way to train soldiers to learn abt courage, discipline, quick reaction and being humble.

Well played by Indonesia, based on the comments under the YT video, it seems like Indonesia has a bright future ahead. Would love to see India play more with ASEAN countries.
Have you been promoted to think tank in turkey defense forum yet bro LMAO.
Really.Yep, but actually football is a good way to train soldiers to learn abt courage, discipline, quick reaction and being humble.

VN General Vo Nguyen Giap (who lead VN to victory against France and US) and outstanding football players The Cong in 1976
“Since its establishment in 1954, The Cong union has still received the constant attention of General Vo Nguyen Giap. As for football, the General expressed his love quite strongly," - former Head of the Cong Group - Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien - said.
"It's the true soldiers of General Giap"
Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien said that all generations of The Cong still refer to The Cong's heroic match against the Cuban team on the occasion of September 9, 1970. General Vo Nguyen Giap sat on the stands of Hang Day Stadium to watch the match. This is also the debut match of one of the best strikers in the history of Vietnamese football, Ba "dan" - Nguyen The Anh.
The Cuban team with a tall physique quickly took a 2-0 lead, and the heavy rain made everyone not believe in a favorable result for Cong Cong. Then, The Cong players know how to take advantage of what seems like a disadvantage to become an advantage. For example, Ba's technical ball path makes the tall Cuban players only stand... look.
Defender Phan Van My removed a goal from the 11-meter mark, Ba "threw" people to equalize 2-2 so that in the last minutes, The Cong had a goal to set 3-2. The whole field broke down, after the game the players stood looking at each other without speaking, tears mixed with rain.
"We were ordered to take a shower and then focus on meeting General Vo Nguyen Giap," said Mr. Hien. That evening, the General visited the team, people took to the streets to celebrate, causing the General's car to be stuck. When meeting the players, the General said: "The people told me: ''Our army is so heroic. That's right, they are the true soldiers of General Giap''.
We know the General was very happy to see such a strong match. Finding ways to turn our weaknesses into advantages, finding unexpected factors to knock down stronger opponents - that's part of the General's military philosophy and we also partly do that in march (against Cuban team). fight.
“In 1994, Cong Cong celebrated its 40th anniversary.” - Mr. Hien said - "General Vo Nguyen Giap and other army generals at that time such as Van Tien Dung and Le Kha Phieu attended". When invited to speak, the General only said very briefly: "After 40 years, the Congregation has brightened up military football, radiant for national football. I urge you comrades to continue striving. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, and most of all, be very humble."
The two words "humble" emanating from the General seem to be very light, but contain a part of the personality of the legendary Vo Nguyen Giap. In 2008, Mr. Nguyen Sy Hien participated in composing the book "Army Sports - The Ways", General Vo Nguyen Giap was quite ill at that time, but he also agreed to write the introduction to the book.
