The Vietnamese women's team did not have a chance to pass the group stage in their first time participating in the Women's World Cup. This is not surprising, because coach Mai Duc Chung and his team were in the same group with very strong opponents. After the first two matches, the Vietnamese women's team has not won any points and has not scored any goals.
However, the achievements of Huynh Nhu and her teammates in their first time participating in the world's largest arena are not the most important thing. Fans cheer for the Vietnamese women's team because they want to witness the home team's beautiful mark through the performance with the utmost effort of the diamond girls.
Vietnam Women's Team 0-2 Portugal
The Netherlands are the current runners-up of the Women's World Cup. Compared to four years ago, the team has declined significantly and also did not have their biggest star - striker Viviane Miedema injured - when participating in the tournament. However, they are still one of the top teams in the world with superior strength compared to the Vietnamese women's team.
The European team's determination is also not small in this match. In theory, they are not sure to win the right to continue. Coach Andries Jonker - who has worked at big men's football clubs such as Bayern Munich or Arsenal - does not hide his intention to win big to compete for the top spot in the group.
The Vietnamese women's team has one more match at the World Cup.
Keeping up with the rhythm of the game and keeping up with the opponents in high-speed movements is a very difficult task for Hoang Thi Loan and her teammates in defense. Coach Mai Duc Chung's students need to follow better tactics and focus on maintaining a more defensive state than in the match against Portugal.
It is difficult for the Vietnamese women's team to win, and even scoring against the Netherlands can be considered "mission impossible". Even the US team struggled to get an equalizer from a set piece when facing this European team.
However, the main opponent of the Vietnamese women's team in this match is probably not the Netherlands, but the players themselves. Huynh Nhu and her teammates need to set a goal of surpassing their own limits. Only then will the Vietnamese women's team truly mature after the Women's World Cup. Every experience in this arena is a valuable opportunity that must not be wasted.
