Thai fans are furious.

After the Thai U23 team was eliminated from the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Championship on the evening of January 14th, many of the team's fans were upset by their poor performance.

Thailand U23 were eliminated early in the group stage.

On the Changsuek fan page, most comments expressed disappointment with the performance of the Thai U23 team. Many frankly criticized the team for lacking attacking ideas, poor finishing, and easily becoming bogged down under pressure.

Some fans commented that "the team lacks a clear game plan," "doesn't know how to score," and also mentioned individual errors at crucial moments. Notably, the wave of criticism also targeted the coaching staff and the youth training system.

Many accounts have suggested serious reforms, increased internal competition, improved quality of youth tournaments, and standardized training programs to keep pace with Asian standards.

Some comments even sarcastically remarked on the situation, suggesting "going home as usual," "knowing we'd be eliminated even before the match," and "the image of an indomitable Thailand is gone," reflecting the disillusionment after repeated disappointments and high expectations.

On the positive side, many fans sent encouraging messages: "You guys did great," "Keep going," "You fought hard." Some opinions viewed the elimination as a necessary lesson for the U23 team, emphasizing the value of experience and urging the players to maintain their spirit to come back stronger.

Despite the heated debate, a common thread is that Thai fans want their team to change in a direction that fosters a distinct style of play, strategic thinking, and the necessary composure in crucial matches.

The result eliminated Thailand U23 from the U23 Asian Championship. On the evening of January 14th, Thailand U23 drew 0-0 with China U23 in the final match of Group D, thus bidding farewell to the 2026 U23 Asian Championship.
