The Vietnamese team showed several positive signs against familiar opponents, which was a refreshing change from their recent friendly matches. One possible explanation for this improvement, aside from the Philippine team’s lackluster performance, is the noticeable changes in Vietnam’s playing style. Surprise factor Overall, manager Philippe Troussier had his team stick to their ball control philosophy, a principle he has been diligently instilling in them. This was evident throughout the away game on Thursday. As a surprise element, the French coach deviated from the play style that didn’t involve a target striker and instead chose to start striker Nguyen Tien Linh. While Linh didn’t particularly outshine his teammates Nguyen Van Toan and Pham Tuan Hai, his skillful positioning and movement as a genuine striker created valuable space for them. This enabled them to launch dangerous attacks in the opponents’ penalty area. Notably, Toan’s opening goal in the 16th minute came from a...

The French national team, known as Les Bleus, achieved a remarkable victory in the European qualifying tournament, setting a new record margin of victory. The match took place in Nice, where Ethan Santos’ own goal and a goal from Marcus Thuram started the scoring spree. The 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery also got on the scoresheet before being forced off the pitch due to an ankle injury. The floodgates truly opened when Santos received a red card just 18 minutes into the game. Kylian Mbappe converted a penalty to make it 4-0, and the goals kept coming with strikes from Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman, and Youssouf Fofana before halftime. The second half saw goals from Adrien Rabiot, Coman again, and Ousmane Dembele. Mbappe sealed his hat-trick with two more goals, including an incredible lob from just inside the Gibraltar half, marking his 300th career goal at the age of only 24. Olivier Giroud came off the bench to add the final two goals, ensuring the history books were re-written. T...
