It’s always great to get a nice message of support for the article especially if it’s the first one I’m churning out.

It’s great to hear you were in HCM when the Vietnamese did so well in that edition. South East Asian teams are generally very passionate about their national teams and you can tell by the atmosphere outside the stadiums itself on matchdays and post-match to find out how much they love their football there.

It’s great getting Asian football here to BackPage. It’s an untapped market media-wise and I hope I can give it as good a shot as others

The 2-legged final just ended awhile ago in Asian time-zones so will be putting up a post-final review soon.

Stay tuned for it!

The atmosphere before, during and especially after Vietnam’s semi-final win was like nothing I’d ever seen before. They ended up losing the final to thailand but it’s a spectacle I’ll never forget.

Great to see even more regions being covered on here, and great to see someone breaking through in SEA..

Look forward to a post final review!
