rainman Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I thought this deserved its own thread. Even though Thailand lost in the AFC cup to Australia today, they played a great game well above their usual standard, also in the previous games against Iraq and Oman, but especially well today. They had a lot of great chances and could have scored 2 or maybe even 3 goals with a bit of luck. But Australia's defense was always a little better, so it wasn't meant to be. But if they keep up this improvement, maybe I'll get to see Thailand play at the World Cup in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 They did well. 3-0 was very very flattering to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torv Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 It's was actually 4-nil. But yes Thailand, I was your biggest fan, and hope to be again in the future. We just need an uncorrupted non-politician to run the show though. I remembered the days when Indonesia and Malaysia were our biggest rivals and Japan was always invited to a friendly. I'd like to see improvements, and I'd like to see Thailand in the world cup even if it means getting pounded 8-nil by Costa Rica or something.

dereklev Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have to agree they played remarkably well. It was only in the last 10 minutes that the Aussies took control. As for making the World Cup Finals that may still be a long long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim's_a_Thai_Fox Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yep, fair play to them. I started a thread saying how shoddy they were after the Iraq game... however, hats off to them - they seemed much more 'up for it' and played with real flair. Of course, I do feel vindicated as they actually did what it is that I said they should have done in the Iraq game - closer pressure on the man with the ball, get stuck in midfield, get the full backs to get round the back...

Suree was probably the Thais best player in the AC. Not sure he will be Premiership class, but he could certainly earn a good living in UK Football. Good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckypups Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just for you Mr B: Suree Sukha, Born 27/07/1982. Club: Chonburi. A no-nonsense tackler, Suree is one of the main main weapons in Thailand's attacking arsenal with his rampaging runs down the right channel and pinpoint crossing. A regular source of goals for both national and club team. Kiatprawut Saiwaew, Born 24/01/1986 Club: Chonburi. A powerful 21 year old his excellent performances for the Thai Under 23s have prompted a call to the senior squad. Standing 6ft 1 he brings a much needed physical presence to the Thai defence Teerasil Dangda, Born 06/01/1998. Club: Bin Dinh (VIE) After catching the eye with Thailand's Under 19's he was included in the 30 man provisional Asian Cup squad However, lack of experience means he's unlikely to feature.. Still, should help you flog a few shirts over here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks for that Mucky Still, should help you flog a few shirts over here.... Without a doubt, that is at the forefront of Thaksin's mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
