Indonesian fans can hardly believe Vietnam lost heavily to Thailand 1-5

Vietnam's U16 futsal team's significant loss to Thailand surprised many fans and triggered an active debate among Indonesian football followers.

During the third round of the 2025 Southeast Asia U16 futsal championship, Vietnam's U16 futsal team faced a tough match against Thailand and suffered a heavy 1-5 defeat. This result not only severely impacted the red-shirted team's chances of reaching the final but also attracted strong attention from regional football fans.

From the opening minutes, Thailand clearly showed superior skills and efficient chance conversion. The early goal put Vietnam's U16 team on the back foot, allowing the opponent to extend the lead in both halves. This loss puts Vietnam at a disadvantage in the race for the top two spots and has drawn significant interest from Indonesian supporters.

On regional futsal forums, many fans expressed surprise at the wide score gap. One comment stated: “I know Thai futsal is very strong, but I didn't expect them to completely dominate Vietnam like this.” This opinion quickly gained many likes from Indonesian fans.

Many Indonesian supporters viewed Vietnam's defeat as a reflection of regional strength comparisons. A notable comment read: “Vietnam is strong but still lost; the next match between Indonesia and Thailand will definitely be a classic!” This view reveals Indonesian fans' excitement for the upcoming showdown.

Confidence is also clearly expressed in some competitive remarks. “Indonesia just won SEA Games futsal; we will continue to beat the hosts at the youth level,” one fan asserted. The belief in Indonesia's futsal success and form is visibly rising.

However, some Indonesian fans expressed more cautious opinions. “Youth teams often lack consistent performance, so nothing is certain yet, but considering the fierce rivalry between Thailand and Vietnam, this is indeed an impressive result,” one comment observed.

Overall, most Indonesian fans believe the tournament is turning into an exciting competition among the three strongest teams. “This tournament might be a three-way race between Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam! Go Indonesia!” This reflects the growing expectations and intense competitive atmosphere of Southeast Asian futsal.
