U20 women's Vietnam regretfully lost to Australia in the Asian qualifiers

Vietnam U20 women entered the final match of the second qualifying round of the 2024 AFC U20 Women's Championship in a relaxed mood. The home team quickly secured a ticket to the final round after two important victories against Iran U20 women and Lebanon U20 women.

Facing a strong opponent at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ) on the evening of June 8, the U20 women of Vietnam still played confidently and controlled the game well. Although not overwhelming the U20 women of Australia, the U20 women of Vietnam had many beautiful coordination moves. On the contrary, the U20 women of Australia showed strength and often won in one-on-one situations.

A surprise goal for the away team in the second half boosted the spirits of the Australian U20 women. Six minutes later, Alana Murphy scored again with a “cannon shot” to double the lead for the Australian U20 women.

With nothing left to lose, coach Akira Ijiri asked his players to push their entire squad to the opponent's field. However, in an unfavorable situation, the U20 women's team of Vietnam could not penetrate the opponent's net and had to accept a regrettable 0-2 defeat.

Hanoi Police Club denies reaching an agreement with Quang Hai

Some sources said that player Nguyen Quang Hai has reached an agreement with the Hanoi Police Football Club (CAHN) to play for this team in the near future. However, it is known that the CAHN team has not yet finalized a contract with Quang Hai.

Among the teams rumored to be Quang Hai's next destination after he leaves Pau FC, there are teams from Indonesia, Thailand and even European teams.

However, all of this is just a rumor. Quang Hai's representative, Mr. Michele Donato Fersini, said: "I was quite amused when I saw a clip talking about Quang Hai's future and salary on social networks. Fake news started to appear and it is likely that my June will be very difficult."

In the immediate future, Quang Hai will focus on playing for the Vietnamese national team in two international friendly matches during the FIFA Days series in June, against Hong Kong (China) and Syria on June 15 and June 20, respectively.

West Ham wins Conference League 2022/2023

Both teams entered the final match with the highest determination. Right after the opening whistle, both sides immediately launched attacks towards the opponent's field.

The Conference League final saw a tight contest with many fierce clashes, especially in the second half.

In a difficult match for West Ham, Bowen became the hero when he won a penalty to help the English representative open the score, before breaking free to score in the 90th minute to seal a thrilling victory. The 2-1 victory helped West Ham end a 43-year title drought, and also secure a ticket to the Europa League next season.

West Ham won their first trophy since beating Arsenal in the 1980 FA Cup final, and their first European title in 58 years.

David Moyes' side finished 14th in the Premier League, but the season was still considered a success as they qualified for the Europa League group stage next season. Fiorentina were the second Serie A side to lose a European final in just a few days, after AS Roma lost to Sevilla in the Europa League.

Italian teams could make it a "hat trick of second place" if Inter fail to beat Man City in the Champions League final this weekend.

Why did Messi choose Inter Miami?

According to the Athletic , earlier this week Major League Soccer (MLS) and Apple discussed Messi's compensation. They will pay the 36-year-old superstar a portion of the revenue from new subscriptions to watch MLS on Apple TV.

Messi’s presence at Inter Miami is expected to help MLS attract a significant amount of viewers to the league. Currently, a person who wants to subscribe to an MLS subscription package must pay $15 per month or $99 per season.

Another big company involved in the deal is Adidas, Messi’s sponsor for many years. Like Apple, Adidas will give Messi a portion of the sportswear company’s increased profits in the US, which are linked to the Argentine superstar.

Messi will also receive a deal to own part of a club in the US, after he finishes his contract with Inter Miami. This is similar to what MLS did with David Beckham, allowing the English star to spend $25 million to buy an MLS team, namely Inter Miami.

According to BBC on June 7, Messi has chosen Inter Miami as his new destination, and he can join the team on a free transfer. Messi's contract with PSG will expire on June 30, 2023.
