U16 Vietnam lost with an "unbelievable" score to U16 Indonesia
Vietnam U16 lost 0-5 to Indonesia U16 in the third-place match at the 2024 Southeast Asian U16 tournament on the afternoon of July 3.
Vietnam U16 is determined to win third place in the 2024 Southeast Asian U16 tournament when meeting host Indonesia U16. However, due to a shortage of players due to injuries, Coach Tran Minh Chien's players did not play well.
The consecutive mistakes of the defense system in the end of the first half and the end of the second half caused U16 Vietnam to continuously receive goals. After 90 minutes of competition, U16 Vietnam lost 0-5 to U16 Indonesia, thereby finishing fourth in this year's tournament. This was a defeat with a score that not many people thought of.
Looking back at the Euro 2024 round of 16: The championship candidates are revealed
The Euro 2024 Round of 16 has ended with not too surprising results, but still left regrets for some teams.
The “dark horse” Austria failed to advance to Euro 2024 after a very exciting match with Türkiye. This was the best match in the round of 16.
Austria have yet to win a Euro knockout match in more than seven decades. Although they failed to make history, Rangnick's team's performance deserves much praise.
Meanwhile, being eliminated by the Swiss team in the knockout round of Euro 2024 with a score of 2-0, Italy is the most disappointing team at Euro 2024. This is a complete defeat for the "Azure".
After the round of 16, the shape of a champion has gradually been clearly outlined. The Spanish team continues to show superior class, extending the most impressive winning streak at Euro 2024 to date.
Unbeaten and top scorer since the start of the finals, Germany has shown an extremely impressive form. Like Spain, Germany will give it all in the upcoming quarter-final. Win, perhaps the championship is just one step away for the home team.
Vietnam team invites India and Lebanon to play friendly matches
If nothing changes, the Vietnam team will compete with India and Lebanon during FIFA Days in October.
"We have invited not only India and Lebanon but also some other teams to be friendly opponents of the Vietnam team. Currently, the parties are working before announcing more specific information," Mr. Duong Nghiep Khoi - General Secretary of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) shared withKnowledge - Znewsevening of July 3rd.
India and Lebanon are ranked 124th and 117th respectively in the latest FIFA rankings. Compared to Vietnam (ranked 116th), India and Lebanon are considered to be at an average level.
The Vietnamese team beat India 3-0 at Thong Nhat Stadium (Ho Chi Minh City) in a friendly match in 2022. That was the occasion for coach Park Hang-seo to introduce rising stars like Khuat Van Khang and Pham Dinh Duy.
From September, the teams that have passed the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia will compete in the third qualifying round, while the third qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup will not start until early 2025, so finding high-quality friendly opponents for the Vietnamese team is not easy.
