Thai fans react in unison after a 1-3 defeat against Vietnam

After the 1-3 defeat to the Vietnamese women's team, Thai supporters responded passionately across various platforms.

In an intense and thrilling match on the afternoon of August 19, the Vietnamese women's team secured a remarkable 3-1 victory over Thailand, officially concluding their impressive journey at the Southeast Asian Women's AFF Cup.

Vietnam's three goals were scored by striker Hai Yen in the 45th minute, captain Huynh Nhu in the 65th minute, and just two minutes later, Bich Thuy extended the lead to 3-0.

Thailand's only goal came from Wirunya in the 87th minute, allowing coach Mai Duc Chung's team to claim the bronze medal and end the tournament on a high note. This victory holds special significance, not only because of the match's importance but also due to the relentless effort shown by the Vietnamese women throughout the competition.

However, after the game, Thai supporters had mixed feelings about their team's performance. Some fans voiced disappointment and criticized the Thai women for lacking confidence and appearing hesitant throughout the match, especially when facing the host nation.

They felt that the Thai women's team failed to display their usual strength and determination, while it seemed the Vietnamese players dominated the game. Meanwhile, Thailand lacked sharpness and initiative in their attacks. These comments reflect the high expectations Thai fans have for their women's national team and serve as a reminder of the fierce competition within Southeast Asia.

Additionally, many Thai supporters are now concerned about their team’s chances of winning gold at the upcoming SEA Games, which will be held on home soil later this year.

"Losing 1-3 and showing no form at all. This match was even worse. Just keep supporting as usual, I guess."

"Same old story: 10 shots, 10 losses. The fear of defeat has become a constant nightmare. This shows that the level of Thai footballers is still far behind ASEAN, both men and women. Without past achievements, the Thai national team would have nothing."

"She has no football skills at all; she can only push the ball forward, and opponents easily stop her. She can't time the ball in the air and can't even run back for throw-ins. The SEA Games are in serious trouble, and she's at high risk of missing out on a medal at home."

"Women's football needs experienced players to provide this kind of support. That's simply not possible."

"Madam, please wait for the coach after the SEA Games. Ikeda will not be able to lead this team to a gold medal."
