tough luck Thailand... agreed that it was not offside and cant blame the linesman.. as it's split second decision.. Yeah.. one goal advantage = nothing..
If Thailand lose by 1 goal in difference, they won't be champion... that's the difference! Anyway that's the past and now i am looking for sunday! Suchao Nutnum is retuning. Yesterday, some thai players don't play very good, i am thinking about Sutee Suksomkit and Arthit Sunthornphit. Leesaw is the worst, he miss a lot of things. Good points: Datsakorn and Teerasin were not bad.
Last nights encounter was a very good game. Early doors, it looked for the world that Vietnam would play for a draw, which is not saying that they don't want to win the damm thing, but it's tactically the way they have to play it away to what many people would have said is a stronger team. Will be interesting to see what style the two teams play in the 2nd leg. Thailand have to attack. but they know too well now that if they go gung ho, they will get caught again by a quick counter attack. Last night, the Vietnamese goalkeeper played very well. pulling off some outstanding saves. My wife said he is good, but i told her he is 'lucky'! But he proved my wrong time after time and kept them in it until they took a shock lead in the 40th minute, but where was the marking??? And again 2 minutes later! Where was the defence!!! Credit to Thailand for clawing one back. I think the goalscorer should start the next match in place of Dangda, who i don't think did to much until his offside goal. And then there's Winothai, who seems to try to hard. Nutnum will come back in the squad and i would like to see Arthit get a longer run out.
It is hard to beat Vietnam as long as Vietnam God is behind them. Asian Cup 2007 is an example. However, I think Duong Hong Son is the best Asian goalkeeper.
I submit this [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0mPzmg0Ul4"]song[/ame] to mourn the failure of Indonesia. The title of this Indonesian song is Tak Bisakah which means Can't You. I think lots of Indonesian fans would like to ask their players : "Why can't you give us happiness even once?" Failure after failure has really made us feeling hopeless.
Henrique Calisto was right when he finally decided not to use that black GK. Height doesn't necessarily means better.
lol, I didn't mean to spam the thread, maybe server error. Away goal rule will not be applied. That's why I said chance is equal for both . Thailand always score twice in My Dinh (vietnam)
Hehehe.. Two days ago, gmtfan's post was only doubled but now it gave birth to another six to become eight altogether. An indication that Vietnam will score many goals later this evening?
See, Thailand will score another one in 2nd half, as my theory: Thailand always scores 2 goals in My Dinh (VN)
