* Before the final match of Group E of the 2023 World Cup , many Dutch newspapers did not really appreciate the strength of the Vietnamese women's team, especially when coach Mai Duc Chung's team lost to Portugal in the second match.

NU newspaper commented: "The Dutch women's team does not have to worry too much about the possibility of winning a ticket to continue in Group E. Coach Andries Jonker's team only needs to win one point in the match against the weak opponent, the Vietnamese women's team. Even the chance of winning is within reach of the Orange team."

Meanwhile, NOS wrote: "Although the Vietnamese women's team took the initiative to play with 5 defenders in the match against Portugal, they could not stop their opponents. The Iberian team created one chance after another. It was only a matter of time before they scored a goal."

AD also confirmed that the Netherlands tried to score many goals in the match against the Vietnamese women's team to win the top spot in the group, thereby avoiding the top team of Group G (possibly Sweden) in the round of 16.

Speaking to the press, Dutch striker Lieke Martens affirmed that she has not thought about her opponent in the knockout round, but wants to focus on the match with the Vietnamese women's team: "First of all, we want to play a good match against Vietnam. The whole team will focus all their efforts on this battle with the goal of winning the top spot."

In the final match, the Vietnamese women's team will face the Netherlands at 2:30 p.m. on August 1. Coach Mai Duc Chung's team still hopes to score a historic goal in the World Cup.

* Meanwhile, Alex Morgan's penalty rejection as well as many excellent saves helped Kim Thanh be rated by the American press as one of the best goalkeepers at the 2023 Women's World Cup .

Vietnam's Tran Thi Kim Thanh disappointed US women's team star Alex Morgan when given a chance at the penalty spot," Fox Sport (USA) commented on the excellent penalty saves of goalkeepers in the group stage of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

According to an American newspaper, Kim Thanh is in the top 3 best goalkeepers at the tournament taking place in New Zealand and Australia.

In total, the Vietnamese women's team had to face 57 shots (28 in the match against the US, 29 in the match against Portugal). Of these, Kim Thanh had 12 saves (5 in the match against the US, 7 in the match against Portugal).

The most impressive was the situation where she blocked Alex Morgan's penalty in the match against the US, and the legend of US women's football still feels haunted by her missed opportunity at the 11m mark.
