AFF Suzuki Cup

Most of u should have already known that Singapore is out of the AFF Suzuki cup via a 1-0 loss to Vietnam at the national stadium. The first leg of the final btwn Thailand and Vietnam was played tonight at Bangkok which Vietnam won 2-1. I was indeed surprised. Well Vietnam have really improved so Singapore shouldn't feel ashamed having lost to Vietnam. Vietnam have reached the quarter finals of the Asia Cup as well. Surprisingly, the AFF Suzuki Cup is more lucrative than the Asia Cup. This is as in the Suzuki cup, its winners take all. This means only the winners of the cup get money worth about 100,000 dollars. Whereas the rest of the countries do not get even a cent. This is rather different from most competitions such as the Asia cup as countries/clubs get money for progressing to the next round. Well I'll no longer be surprised if Vietnam lifts the cup this Sunday. This shows how unpredictable football is. As the saying goes, "The ball is round, anything can happen".
