At ASIAD 19, Vietnam Olympic team did not perform well and was eliminated from the group stage. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team ranked 3rd in Group B but could not qualify for the next round as they were at the bottom of the 3rd place rankings.
However, according to Bola.Okezone , Vietnam Olympic team is not the worst team in Southeast Asia at ASIAD 19. Instead, this newspaper believes that Thailand Olympic team is the least convincing.
The newspaper carried an article headlined: "Indonesia Olympics are still safe. Thailand Olympics are the worst in Southeast Asia."
The author emphasized: "In the group stage of ASIAD 19, Olympic Thailand was the worst team in Southeast Asia, not Olympic Vietnam. Why do you say that?
Among the 4 Southeast Asian teams participating in the 19th ASIAD, only Vietnam Olympic team was eliminated in the group stage. After 3 matches, Vietnam Olympic team won 3 points after winning against Mongolia Olympic team.
In the remaining two matches, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's team lost 0-4 to Olympic Iran and 1-3 to Olympic Saudi Arabia.
Vietnam Olympic team could not qualify for the next round due to the tournament rules. The organizers did not count the results of the matches against the bottom team when considering the performance of the third-placed team. Therefore, Vietnam Olympic team did not get any points.
However, if we consider the overall results, the Vietnam Olympic team is still better than the Thailand Olympic team. The representative of the "Land of the Golden Pagoda" could not win any match in the group stage. They lost heavily to the Korean Olympic team and only got 2 points after draws with the Bahrain Olympic team and the Kuwait Olympic team.
Thailand's Olympic achievements are worse than Myanmar's Olympic achievements. This team won against Bangladesh, tied with India and only lost to China.
