Squad Against Saudi Arabia

The following guys got some action against the Saudi's:

Teerasil Dangda,
Kosin Hathairattanakool‎;
Niweat Siriwong‎;
Nattaporn Phanrit‎;
Suree Sukha‎;
Natthaphong Samana‎;
Panupong Wongsa‎;
Suchao Nutnum‎;
Surat Sukha‎;
Rangsan Viwatchaichok‎;
Salahudin Arware‎;
Ronnachai Rangsiyo‎;
Anon Sangsanoi‎;
Issarapong Lilakorn‎;

You will never believe how hard it is to find this information sometimes!!

From the list of players there, i think we can now assume that Kosin is Peter Reid's first choice goalkeeper, although i'm not too sure why Reid hasen't tried out Sivaruck Tedsungnoen of BEC, who has been in recent squad's, but has yet to see any action.

Sutee Sukomskit, Captain Thonglao, Winothai were not included due to club commitments.

Pichitphong Choeichiu and Cholratit Jantakam who have been used quite a lot recently did not see any action in the game.

Choeichiu, it would seem is only going to fill in for the likes of Surat Sukha and Suchao Nutnum when these guy's are unavailble. They seem first choice midfileders along with Thonglao and Suksomkit.

Up front, Dangda seem's the only threat at the moment, let's hope he can keep this up as other options up front are lacking.

Ronnachai Rangsiyo seem's to have the edge over Anon Sangsanoi and Issarapong Lilakorn but that's more to do with the fact that he had an impact in the AFF Championship, but can he do it on the next level? Can anyone? Everyone wants Winothai to lead the line, but we might just have to come to the fact that he's in Europe now, we can't build a team around him because the travelling back and forth will start to tell after a while.

Thailand 1 - 2 Saudi Arabia

Thailand 1 - 2 Saudi Arabia

Sendai, Japan

International Friendly

Well, we went to Japan to get beat by the Saudi's, and probably even caught a cold in the freezing temperatures.

Dangda once again scored, he seem's to be on fire right now. But it seem's to be a case of if Dangda doesn't score, who will?

Reid said that the boys should be used to the cold as they played in Jordan not that long back in a game where points where at stake. But i'm asking myself, why didn't we play a friendly in the cold before we had a game with points at stake to get use to the conditions??

I'm still not really sure why we bothered to go to Japan in the first place. Ok, it was a game against a much bigger force in Asia than us. But what will we learn? We don't have any competitive games until November. Surely we should be warming up for Novembers games with friendlies in September and October?

The the other side, maybe a plus point, is that we are forming somewhat of a relationship with the Saudi's. Now we have to build on this to get closer ties in the Middle East and get games in the desert. An area we have always struggled.

So, come the end of today's game, who benefited?

We didn't, but even if we did win, we would think we are unbeatable and go into the double header clash with Singapore later this year thinking we are super power, and more than likely come down with a big thump.

Saudi benefited because they got a run out in freezing conditions before they play again against North Korea in a competition we somewhat dream of, but never get that far!

Tomorrow, i hope to bring the squad that played, but somewhat now, it would appear that someone has cut a cable millions of miles under the sea, so most websites don't appear to work!! If you can read this, the i congratulate you!!

Thailand 0 - 0 Iran

Importantt point at home to Iran.

Put's Thailand in 3rd place after Singapore beat Jordan 2-1. But two games played and two points gained is a good result. Just have to make sure we get 4 poitns out of 6 in the double header in November with Singapore. A derby that, in reality, could produce any result:

Jordan 0 - 0 Thailand - Match Reaction

Well, a draw is what i wanted, so i'm very happy, especially after seeing Iran thump Singapore 6-0.

Hopefully going into the next qualifier against Iran, we might just catch them off guard, hopefully they might be a bit to cocky.

Back to tonights game. And Reid is starting to show that he can be a decent tactician. Never before have i seen him in his career change the formation from an attacking lineup to a more defensive unit primed to attack on the counter. But this is international football, and playing a long way from home in a region we never really feel comfortable in, so Reid gets high marks.

Of course, much of Reid's tinkering to play one up front was more due to the fact that instrumental forward Terratep Winothai was not involved as he has linked up with his new clubside. Options of which Reid only had was young, youthful lads who have not really got any big game experience, and this needed it.

Certainly in the middle of the park, he picked experience in 58 caps Sukomskit and Thonglao joined by mid 30 caps Nutnum and Choeichiu. Only Surat Sukha wasn't in double figures until today, but he has been a regular with Reid. The only downside to his game is that he picks up to many cards (mainly red), which he could just as easily pick up in Jordan.

Big suprise today was TPL leading goalscorer of 2008, Anon Sangsanoi got some game time, this lad, although has a huge future ahead of himself never really made Reid sit up and be noticed and was only included in recent squads due to the lack of firepower, so to see him get some game time was a shock to begin with.

All said and done, the boys did the job that was expected, and in reality, we need Iran to beat our rivals Jordan and Singapore and let us pick up the 3 points at home and sneak them single pointers away.

Roll on Iran!!

Next Up, Laos

Ok, so tomorrows game against Laos, in Phuket, before the team head back to Bangkok should be 3 points in the bag.

Of course it should. I won't even try to find any negative points really. Laos may score, but we should score more.

Tomorrow, i would like to see Reid rotate his squad a little, and give thr fringe guys a chance in a big game and also rest a few key players for later against Malaysia where we need to win and top the group and show our intentions.

It would be an ideal chance to change our keeper, bringing Kosin back in to see if his mind is on the tournement or not and give a chance to the likes of Anon Sangsanoi and Salahudin Arware.

I'm not talking full games or even starting, but to give them a good 30 minutes at least to gain experience that will be needed for later in the competition.

At this moment, i'm just looking through our options and notice that we don't really have a team that scores goals. For example, there's only Sutee Suksomkit and Terratep Winothai who have scored double figures. I wonder if Reid with dropping Sarayoot Chaikamdee has enough firepower. Surely, if only half fit, he could have been used in the Group Stages to break down a stubborn Laos if need be?

Thailand - Vietnam Match Statistics

This will be the 16th matchup between Thailand and Vietnam.

Full Record Against Vietnam:

Won: 10
Drawn: 3
Lost: 2
Goals For: 30
Goals Against: 13


Home Record:

Won: 5
Drawn: 1
Lost: 0
Goals For: 14
Goals Against: 4

Statistics are certainly on our side. We have only ever lost twice in 15 previous matchups. The last time in 1998. We have since played 9 other games against them. The worrying point is probably the fact that we have drawn the last two.

The last matchup was only a couple of weeks ago, in Vietnam when we won the T&T Cup after drawing with the hosts Vietnam and beating our other opponents North Korea.

The last time Vietnam stepped over to Thailand and Bangkok was in early 2007 for the 2nd Leg of the ASEAN Championship 2006. The match ended in a scorless draw, but the damage was already done in the first leg in Hanoi.

The most important game between the two nations to date was way back in 1973 for a FIFA World Cup Qualifier. Back then, the game was played in Seoul, South Korea and we got thumped 3-0.

Tomorrow (6th December) will see the two sides battle it out in Phuket for the first time, after previously meeting in such exotic places as Chiang Mai, Jakarta and Bandar Seri Begawan.

The game will also pit the Portuguese coach Henrique Calisto against Englishman Peter Reid. Two coaches wanting to stamp their authority on their new sides. Calisto has yet to win as coach of Vietnam and Reid wants to stamp his authority on his team.

Tomorrow, come 7pm, we will see what each side is made of. But it certainly should be a cracker.

In tomorrows other group game, Malaysia meet Laos in the earlier kick-off.

Quick look to our Group A rivals, and matchday one brought big wins for two nations whom will be looking to go from strength to strength and now progress.

Singapore beat lowly Cambodia 5-0, surprisingly Aleksander Duric did not score!

Indonesia also thumped Myanmar 3-0, in a game i thought would have been a lot closer, but it seem's heads dropped for the Burmese

Ok, maybe not much to shout about really, but it's always good to get soem kind of victory under your belt, even if it was a 2-2 draw with hosts Vietnam that clinched this round robin championship.

Something to build on. We certainly need much improvement to win the AFF Suzuki Cup, but confidence will certainly be there now.

Thailand - North Korea Match Report

Match Report from www.bangkokpost.com

Patiparn settles cup match in injury time

HANOI : An injury-time goal helped Thailand beat North Korea 1-0 yesterday in Vietnam in their first international game under English coach Peter Reid.


Thailand defender Patiparn Phetphun scored in the second minute of stoppage time at My Dinh Stadium to get their T&T Cup campaign off to a winning start.


Reid conceded the game had been close and had given him plenty to think about.


"We saved some good shots and were lucky to score at the end of the match," said Reid.


"However, there are several things that I am not very pleased about and I needed to do some work on the training ground.


"North Korea are a strong team and I told the players to concentrate and we got the right result."




Thailand started with Issrapong Lilakorn and Teerathep Winothai up front against North Korea's World Cup hopefuls.


Four minutes after kick off, Thai midfielder Datsakorn Thonglao fired a 20-yard free-kick goalwards only to see it fizz wide.


Both teams pressured and defender Chonlatit Jantakam had to be alert to deny Kim Kum Il a scoring opportunity.


North Korea created several chances but the Thai defence held firm.


Kim Kum Il forced a good save from Thai goalkeeper Kittisak Rawangpa then, at the other end, midfielder Arthit Sunthonphit fired a long shot over the bar.


Striker Teerathep Winothai was booked for a foul before the whistle was blown to end the first half with the game locked at 0-0.


Reid switched Arthit for Nataporn Phanrit and Issarapong for Teerasil Dangda during the interval.


The substitutions made Thailand more lively and it wasn't long before Teerasil and Teerathep both had scoring opportunities only to be denied by the Korean back line.


Kittisak did well to parry a shot from Mun In Guk in the 74th minute before Chonlatit Jantakam cleared it away from danger.


Two minutes later Korea striker Kim Kum Il was sent off for hitting Datsakorn in the chest.


Thailand couldn't break down their opponents and the game seemed destined to end up goalless before Patiparn scored the winner during stoppage time.


North Korea coach Kim Jong Hun said his team's poor preparation contributed to the defeat.


"The condition of the team was not good when they trained two weeks before the tournament started," he said.


"However, I am pleased with the performance."


The president of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), Mr Worawi Makudi was pleased with the outcome.


"I would say that it is great for Peter Reid to use some new players for this match," he said.


"It is a good for us because we have more choice for the team and it is also a good start for him with a win."


Worawi, , a Fifa executive committee member, also said there is a strong possibility England will play a one-off friendly in Thailand next year because of strong ties with the English Football Association, which were central to Reid's appointment as Thailand boss.


Thailand play Vietnam on Saturday.
