I know FR is based in the USA.
I know there is a history with Vietnam, which leaves some hard feelings among some, even now.
I know all of those things. But the country here, is completely over any hard feelings toward America. For real. And this country incidentally, seems to be almost completely, truly free of racism. First place I have ever seen that.
Anywhere.
But that is not why I am posting. I am posting because tomorrow is the finals, of the AFC U23 soccer final. The game tomorrow is the finals, again.
Uzbekistan, is facing off against Vietnam.
The public support here in Vietnam, is completely off the charts.
If you happen to catch it on TV somewhere, understand the game in about 18 hours, is for the championship.
I know, it's not real football. But then again, it's not the NFL either.
(sorry)
Woot!
is this about soccer?
Go Vietnam!!
Some of you freepers sound so ignorant. Maybe cause you are about soccer. American soccer is moronic and boring, I agree. World soccer, oth, is so much more exciting to watch than felons running around chasing pigskin.
I see the problem here. The Qataris didn’t offer a big enough bribe to the Vietnam players.
I just got back from Vietnam yesterday and had been dining downtown that day when the roars started during the penalties. Then the whole area exploded in a sea of red flags and hours of scooters and motorcycles going around the central square. Quite the atmosphere!
Soccer is called “football” in the rest of the countries of the world where it is much more popular than in the USA. So to differentiate here in the USA, soccer should be rightfully known as “Shithole Football”.
