Another Thai team lost under Madam Pang

The defeat of the Thai women's team against Myanmar in the semi-finals of the 2025 AFF Women's Cup continues the sad days of Thai football under the reign of Madam Pang.

In the 72nd minute, when the match was tied 1-1, a Thai defender let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area. On the 11m mark, Win Theingi Tun easily fooled the goalkeeper, raising the score to 2-1 for Myanmar. The decisive goal brought Myanmar to the final, while the Thai women's team once again missed their chance to win the regional championship.

Notably, this is the third Thai national team to fail in 2025 under President Madam Pang. Previously, the Thai team lost bitterly to Vietnam in the final of the 2024 ASEAN Cup right at home. Last July, the Thai U23 team stopped against Indonesia in the semifinals of the U23 Southeast Asia. Now it is the turn of the women's team to fail to overcome Myanmar.

The series of failures has caused a stir in Thai public opinion. On social media, many people believe that football in this country is in serious decline. Once dominating Southeast Asia, Thailand has now continuously failed, while opponents considered to be underdogs have risen.

Madam Pang is loved for her generosity, approachable style and efforts to create a positive image. But it is the high expectations from fans that make each failure of Thai football a heavy pressure. She has previously received much praise for her strong investment in both men's and women's football, but the current reality has seen her continuously lose.

The defeat to Myanmar was not just an isolated setback, but also a reflection of Thailand's gradual loss of its regional dominance. For Madam Pang, the pressure to deliver results is greater than ever.
