Alright Japan is very strong as they have shown in the first half against UAE. They comfortably scored 3 goals in just 45 minutes. Now we need at least a point against Japan to ensure our spot in the quarter-final. In case of a disaster, other wishful scenario is 1) Qatar ties UAE or 2)UAE beats Qatar or 3) Qatar beats UAE but we still advance due to goal differences.

Our dream! can we make it???

Go Vietnam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tien len vi to quoc anh em oi!!!

NIPPON!!!!! NIPPON!!!! we're gonna be champions again.

This is getting more interesting.

Don't count out Qatar yet.

If Qatar beats UAE and we lose to Japan (Qatar will have 5 pts). We're out. Only 1) and 2) hold.



Now luck is what you make out of it. The 2nd round is in our hands. Let's hope the boys play supremely Monday for the best result.

Right .. how about we embarass the Japanese just like the Arabs bank on it baby!!!

Look like UAE will keep their losing treak for the next game against Qatar. Vietnam team must hold out for at least a draw against Japan.

I meant ff we tie Japan and Qatar beat UAE. Then option 3 is viable in reference to goal differences. My take is Vietnam 2-1 Japan.

If VN beat Japan, I'd have a spontaneous orgasm!!! You wouldn't want to think about that would you?

So, everyone should be happy with a draw.

If we lose, ah well, ain't so bad. We've done well. Let's drink to that, tomorrow is another day.

Vietnamese soccer players play around to much. My insurance agent's little brother is a soccer player at his university. The Vietnamese soccer team asked him to come and play for them. He agreed but he came back to the U.S because he can't stand the heat. Also, he said the players were not serious in their practice. They drink and parties a lot.

Good luck to the Vietnamese team.

Your bro is retarded, Viet Nam doesnt need him anyway! So ******

Hahah...Now that's bad @$$!

hes just a w4nker..if he was bad @$$ he would paint the colours of south vn on his face

fukkk the color of south vn. that piece of shietty baque. Vietnam is forever one country and that truth will never change.

wait r u telling me that its "SOUTH VIETNAM NATIONAL TEAM" thats playing out there and not the "VIETNAM NATIONAL TEAM"

What the fuk are you smoking? It's not my brother you retard. CAn't you read? I said my car insurance agent's little brother.

i would like to apologise on behalf qwe123 and those like him as he has suffered from agent orange for a long time...

if the vietnam team had some good viet kieu's come back to play we would be a lot better..from what i see on tv, too many guys are built like flyweights to challenge the better football countries ...skillful yes, but at the same time physically challenged (tai em and minh phuong)...the kids in vn need milk and gym memberships!!

si tru

acutally, from recent years, there were quite a lot of Viet Kieu who want to go back and play for the national team. However, after physical, skill, and other trials the coach of the national team declinded them all stating that their skills weren't that much different or better compared to the current roster. There was even one dude who was half french who got rejected when applying for the national team then latter rejected again from a club team after a few month of playing for them.

^just because u're from outside vietnam doesnt mean u're good
its not like the ppl in vietnam r retarded and dont know how to play soccer

Vietnamese outside vietnam have daily work to do, so they can't practice everyday.

I went over to wikipedia to see the result and it said Singapore won.

If you want to watch the game between Vietnam and Japan, go to Google, type in PPmate, download and install it.

Click on Sport Star and I think you will see the game. It will be on Monday at 5:20 AM California time.

Go VN

We lost 4-1. Think of it, it's like Japan lost to Brazil 4-1 in World Cup 06. But still think of it, we should have play beautiful football like in the first 2 games. Riedl is too chicken and pessimistic before the game therefore he decided to use a defensive formation. Thanh Binh didn't get a chance to play with Cong Vinh.

In any regard.... WE MADE IT!!!!!!!

VIetnam tien len!!!!!

wtf 1-4? =(

thats suck, but hey what do you mean we made? did we make it to the semi finals?

yeah dude.. we made it into the quarter-final

we will play Iraq next.

wait I don't know soccer that much, can you fill me in? so are you saying there is a chance of us being in the final and winning asian 2007 soccer cup?

Yes we made it! it took a little luck with the UAE but we made it. the important thing is we have another chance to redemn ourself after that brutal onslaught yesterday. Hopefully this time Riedl learn his lesson and let our players play to their full offensive potential.

How many audience are in My dinh and Army stadium for all 3 game so far. anyone know anything about this.

Lee Nguyen is pretty good. He plays for PSV Eindhoven and the US National team. Too bad Vietnam turned him down when he was at Indiana University. He could have helped greatly. -

no way vietnam turn him down?
idk man vietnam sure turn a lot of viet kieu down
and they dont let their players play outside vietnam

It could be politics, but then again politics should not have any place in sports.

BTW, Vietnam really doesn't let it's players play outside the country? That might explain a lot, why VN's two top players aren't sign Europe or J-league. LOL. Seriously though, if that's the case, it would suck for a VN footballer. V-League is crap, as of now anyways. You can't make any type of money there. Remember the bribery scandal?, that's what happen when good players are paid crap.
