Southeast Asian fans in uproar as Indonesia risks early elimination

On the evening of December 8, the most anticipated match of Group C of SEA Games 33 ended with a big shock when U22 Indonesia lost 0-1 to U22 Philippines.

Indonesia is at risk of being eliminated early at SEA Games 33.

The result put U22 Indonesia at risk of being eliminated from the group stage, and sparked a wave of comments on social media. On the ASEAN football community fanpage, fans did not hesitate to satirize and dissect the poor performance of the team from the archipelago.

A series of sarcastic comments appeared under the match result post. Many fans said that Indonesia only had one post: "throw the ball to the striker and pray". These comments received many likes, expressing the general disappointment with the monotonous way the defending champions developed the ball.

Many fans have mentioned the World Cup expectations that were once mentioned by the Indonesian media, but this time it has become a joking statement. Some fans have also heatedly debated the group stage. Accordingly, the prospect of U22 Indonesia being eliminated early has been mentioned by many people, especially if the Vietnam-Malaysia match in Group B ends in a draw.

The pessimism has increased as some Indonesian fans compare the current team to the previous dark period, erratic and lacking in identity. The pressure on "Tim Garuda" is greater than ever before the decisive match against Myanmar in the next round.

On the other hand, Philippine fans were excited about the historic victory, considering this an important turning point for them to continue dreaming of a successful SEA Games 33.
