This defeat is a heavy blow to Thailand's ambition to win the AFF Cup 2024. For the first time in 52 years, they suffered a defeat against the Philippines in all competitions.
On social media, many Thai fans expressed their anger at their team's shocking defeat. In response, coach Masatada Ishii had to apologize to Thai football fans.
Surprisingly, the president of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), Madam Pang, has remained silent after the defeat. Her social media accounts only posted information before the match.
Previously, this billionaire often behaved tactfully and won the hearts of Thai fans. She always appeared at the right time to encourage and reassure the players. Therefore, many people were surprised by Madam Pang's reaction.
"I don't want to blame anyone. I just hope Madam Pang encourages the players. Failure is normal. We need to stand up and continue fighting," a fan shared on social media.

Notably, at the 2024 AFF Cup, Madam Pang and coach Masatada Ishii had a conflict. After the victory over Malaysia in the group stage, the Japanese coach disobeyed the orders of the head of Thai football.
Instead of walking around the stadium with Madam Pang to thank the fans, Coach Masatada Ishii went into the tunnel. Afterwards, Coach Masatada Ishii had to apologize to Madam Pang for this incident.
Madam Pang's silence after the defeat to the Philippines made fans even more curious about the Thai team's internal affairs.
According to the schedule, the Thai team will enter the rematch with the Philippines at 8:00 p.m. on December 30 at Rajamangala Stadium.
