Did Vietnam lose a penalty against Thailand?; Thailand won the AFF Cup as much as Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia combined

Will Vietnam lose a penalty against Thailand?

A Thai player handled the ball in the penalty area after trying to challenge Tien Linh. However, referee Jumpei IIda did not award a penalty to the Vietnamese team.

The Thai player let the ball touch his hand while trying to clear the danger in the penalty area but the referee did not award a penalty.

In the 48th minute of the second leg final between Thailand and Vietnam at Thammasat Stadium, from a pass from Van Hau on the left wing, the ball was directed into the penalty area for Quang Hai. Quang Hai turned around but did not control the ball well. A Thai player retreated to try to clear the danger, causing the ball to bounce back behind his back. At that time, Tien Linh and another Thai player rushed into the dispute. The ball bounced from the Thai player's left knee and hit his right hand.

The Vietnamese players immediately signaled that the ball had touched the Thai player's hand in the penalty area, but referee Jumpei IIda did not consider it a deliberate handball by the Thai player. Therefore, the Vietnamese team was not awarded a penalty.

David Moyes: "Sir Alex did not let me say no to MU"

The story of David Moyes coming to Man United in 2013 has been told many times, but recently, the Scottish strategist revealed many details surrounding Sir Alex Ferguson.

In July 2013, MU suddenly announced that they had chosen David Moyes as Sir Alex's successor. Before that, the Scottish duo had a private meeting. Sharing this story, the coach born in 1963 still shuddered: "I drove to Sir Alex's house and as soon as I entered the house, he said: 'I will retire and you will be the next coach of Man United'.

No press conference, no prior notice, Sir Alex didn't even bother to ask: "Do you want to?". I almost fell because no one knew Sir Alex was retiring. No one knew, and the thought had never even been mentioned.

Ronaldo is the captain of the Saudi Arabian all-star team that will face Messi

On January 20, Lionel Messi's PSG will face the Saudi Arabian All-Stars in a friendly match in Riyadh. This is a match where striker Cristiano Ronaldo will have the honor of captaining PSG's opponents.

In the video recently shared by the Chairman of the Saudi Arabian Entertainment Commission, Turki Al-Sheikh, on Twitter, it can be seen that CR7 was honored to be given the captain's armband by him for the Saudi All-Star team. This also means that Ronaldo will soon have the opportunity to face Messi, the striker who just won the 2022 World Cup with the Argentine national team. In their illustrious careers, Messi and Ronaldo have always secretly competed. They see each other as motivation to constantly strive. Over the years, the debate about whether Ronaldo or Messi is better has always been hot. However, with Messi having just won the world championship, while Ronaldo is having difficulty doing the same because he is 37 years old, it is clear that CR7 is now far behind.
