Indonesian fans react to Vietnam's heavy defeat

The Vietnam team has become the topic of many Indonesian fans after losing 0-4 to Nam Dinh FC.

On the Seasia goal page, many comments from Indonesian fans appeared, reflecting skepticism about the real strength of the Vietnamese team, even though it was just a practice match and without coach Kim Sang Sik leading the way.

The Seasia Goal website wrote: “The Vietnamese team was just crushed 4-0 by Nam Dinh - a V.League club in a non-FIFA friendly match. They also fielded their first team, but without coach Kim Sang Sik because he is focusing on the U23 Vietnam team in the U23 Asian qualifiers.

MU receives bad news before the big match against Man City

MU received bad news when Diogo Dalot withdrew from the Portuguese national team due to injury, increasing concerns about the team's strength before the match against Man City.

On August 30, Dalot played the full 90 minutes in MU's 3-2 win over Burnley in the third round of the Premier League. However, he suffered a muscle problem when he joined the national team and had to return to Manchester for a check-up. The injury prevented Dalot from joining the Portuguese national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Armenia and Hungary in September.

This is also a big concern for the "Red Devils" in the context of their lack of force right at the beginning of the season. Previously, Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount were both injured. Both players had to leave the field early in the victory against Burnley.

Ruben Amorim's side will face Man City at the Etihad Stadium on September 14 after the international break.

World Cup 2026 qualifying results today September 5: Spain and Belgium win big

Results of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe today, September 5, Spain and Belgium beat Bulgaria and Liechtenstein.

This morning (September 5), European football fields continued to be bustling with matches of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The highly rated teams, Spain and Belgium, had big wins.

In the away match against Bulgaria, Spain took the field with their strongest squad, so they actively pressed the field and quickly scored the opening goal in the 5th minute thanks to Mikel Oyarzabal.

On the home team side, coach Ilian Iliev's team tried their best but could not score a consolation goal. In the end, Spain won 3-0 against Bulgaria.

Meanwhile, in Group J, Belgium had a devastating victory over Liechtenstein. Coach Rudi Garcia's team crushed the bottom team with a score of 6-0. This was a match in which Belgium completely dominated, controlling the ball 81%, and firing 24 shots. The home team Liechtenstein did not have a single shot throughout the match.

U23 Vietnam: There are still difficult problems waiting for coach Kim Sang Sik to solve

After the U23 Southeast Asian tournament, many people expected coach Kim Sang Sik to find a solution for the U23 Vietnam attack, changing the face of the U23 Asian qualifiers.

However, what happened in Viet Tri was somewhat disappointing. Because, despite winning 2-0 against U23 Bangladesh, U23 Vietnam's scoring efficiency was still not commensurate with the overwhelming match on Viet Tri field.

The problem that coach Kim Sang Sik faces, in addition to the lack of truly excellent strikers, lies in the playing style. U23 Vietnam still cannot show flexibility in attacking arrangements, and is quite easy to predict when the opponent reinforces the center or narrows the space on the flanks.

When these two problems resonate, the scoring efficiency of U23 Vietnam is almost always restrained against opponents of equal strength or those who know how to build a scientific playing style.

Without a thorough solution, or at least showing more efficiency, U23 Vietnam may face difficulties right from the SEA Games at the end of the year, not to mention the U23 Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia next year, once we win a ticket.
