Feeling unsatisfied with just celebrating on their own page, Thai fans took actions that left Vietnamese people feeling anything but happy.
Throughout history, Thailand and Vietnam have always regarded each other as rivals. In recent years, Vietnamese football has continuously achieved remarkable success. This has led fans from both sides to engage in more spirited confrontations.
In the semifinal match of the AFF Cup ending on the night of December 23, the Vietnamese national team lost 0-2 to their Thai opponents. Consequently, football fans from both sides reacted differently.
Vietnamese fans went on a hunt for referees due to what they perceived as illogical decisions during the match. Meanwhile, Thai fans decided to infiltrate the 'heart' of Vietnamese football to taunt.
On Vietnamese football fan pages, Thai supporters continuously posted images and comments expressing excessive glee. From regular mocking images to offensive and provocative ones, Thai fans inserted these into their posts. This infuriated Vietnamese fans, leading to heated arguments on Vietnamese football fan pages.


Comments from Thai netizens are as follows:
'From now on, Vietnamese fans should stay quiet, the defeat is painful'.
'What level does Vietnam have to compare with the Thai national team now? What's displayed on the field speaks volumes'.
'Vietnam plays football uncivilized, not suitable for the stature of a major team in Asia. Football players are also poor, not a good role model for children. They only hope to win, lack spirit, blame others when they lose, without looking at themselves, it's shameful'.
'Vietnam go home'.
'Thailand has helped restore order in Southeast Asian football. Vietnam shouldn't blame others because they defeat themselves'.
Assistant Coach Park Hang-seo made a statement after the match, the last four words leaving everyone heartbroken!
