AFC believes Vietnam may participate in the World Cup
The homepage of the Asian Football Confederation recently determined that Vietnamese women's football is fully capable of participating in the World Cup. The AFC homepage wrote: "With 6th place in Asia, the Vietnam women's team has the highest ranking in history. But they have never reached the World Cup, while arch-rivals Thailand have done it twice."
"The Vietnamese women's team was undefeated in 2019, they won the AFF Cup and SEA Games, the gap between Vietnamese women's football and the group of superpowers in Asia is also narrowing," the author commented.
Thailand plans a "huge" plan to bring down the Vietnamese team
Recently, Thailand has planned to enter the world top 100, as well as surpass the Vietnamese team to regain the No. 1 position in Southeast Asia. Towards a long-term future, Thailand is targeting a series of young talents owned by European teams.
Ben Davis is one of the "War Elephants"' biggest hopes. The 19-year-old has just been extended his contract by Fulham. The second face is Thanawat Suengchitthawon, a 20-year-old versatile midfielder trained in France. In addition, Jude Soonsup-Bell (Ch Chelsea), Eric Kahl and Nicholas Mickelson are also in the long-term plan of the Golden Temple team.
31st SEA Games will not establish an athlete village
According to Mr. Tran Duc Phan - Deputy Director General of the General Department of Physical Training and Sports, the 31st SEA Games held in Vietnam will not build new or establish an athlete village. He said: "Currently, the works have also degraded over time, we only renovate, maintain and repair them to serve the 31st SEA Games".
"We will not build new or establish more athlete villages as planned, instead, officials and athletes will stay at the same location as the competition, for example, Hanoi will stay at a hotel. As for localities, through inspection and survey, it can be found that all locations have hotels that meet the requirements, guaranteed to be 4 stars or more. Therefore, the 31st SEA Games will not build or organize an athlete village," Mr. Tran Duc Phan emphasized.
Messi deserves to win the World Cup
Sharing with Culture del Gol, former defender Joan Capdevilla - who won the 2010 World Cup with Spain - said that Messi deserved to win the world championship
"If he were Spanish, Messi could have won the World Cup once. I don't understand why the best player of all time didn't win the world championship. With what he has shown, Messi deserves the world championship," the former Spanish player shared.
