In the eighth minute of the Sunday match, with the score 0-0, Vietnamese midfielder Le Van Do tried to cross inside from a free kick. But before Do could touch the ball, the Timor Leste defense moved up before six Vietnam players could retreat, placing them all in an offside position. In the ASEAN Football Community forum, a fan wrote: "A simple trick but Vietnam still fell for it." "I didn’t watch the game, is this real?" a fan commented. A few opinions held that such play exposed Vietnam’s inexperience, while others saw it as a well-oiled trick by Timor Leste. Such instances are uncommon in football. During World Cup 2018, Japan did the same against Senegal, displaying great timing and concentration. In the game between Vietnam and Timor Leste in Viet Tri Stadium in the northern province of Phu Tho, the host found the net twice in the second half and eventually won 2-0.

Mark Ratcliff, sustainability specialist at Except Integrated Sustainability Whether we acknowledge it or not, sustainability is and always has been our most important goal. Collectively, we have gotten away with pushing it aside for too long. We can no longer ignore it, but realizing sustainability beyond a marketing slogan is easier said than done. Many countries are falling behind, and without a systemic shift to a more long-term mindset, Vietnam will also flounder and fail to achieve its bold National Green Growth Strategy for 2021-2030. Nevertheless, things are not as gloomy as they seem. Except Integrated Sustainability, a Dutch consultancy and design firm, has initiated ViCo, Vietnam’s first sustainability community for innovation. It aims to bolster worldwide partnerships, enhance learning, and help with new joint business models to support the shift to sustainability and attract more funding. Vietnam is perfectly positioned to prosper and, with the support of ViCo, … [Read more...] about Supporting Vietnam’s strive for sustainability
