Vietnam

They have the longest preparations & they recently called up star veteran striker Lee Hyunh Duc for the Tiger Cup. We watched them played against South Korea in the Pre-World Cup qualifier & they lost only 2-1. They will be the team under pressure though, not us. That’s why we have something up our sleeves to spring a surprise on them. 

Indonesia

They are going through what we went through a year ago. Their new coach, Peter Withe, recently began picking young players to mould his new side. So you can bet that the Indonesian will play the typical English game. All defence & then all attack with the long ball. We just beat them 2-0 in a friendly, which was a huge psychological boost for our boys. 

Laos & Cambodia

They may be the whipping boys of the group, but I’ve told the Lions that they should never underestimate any team. If you go into a match with the wrong frame of mind, you will get punished
