Comment on U19 Thailand vs U19 Philippines: Class Differences

In the past two years, U19 events in Southeast Asia, especially in Asia, can't be held, and there are not many opportunities for U19 in Thailand to compete with the team. Therefore, the important pillar of Thailand U19 was promoted to U23 team to participate in Southeast Asian Games and AFC U23 Championship to accumulate experience.

Back in the 2022 AFF U19 Championship, Thailand U19 is considered the first champion candidate with the best squad and stable condition. As we all know, "Show War Elephants" just drew with Bambuang, the third-ranked Thai team before the competition.

Unlike the best preparation of the Thai U19, the Philippine U19 has only practiced internally for the past 4 years. Obviously, the competition experience will be the losing point of U19 in the Philippines.

Looking back, the Philippines U19 team often tasted defeat when they faced Thailand U19 in the Southeast Asia U19 Championship. In detail, they lost all three matches, and there was a gap of at least three goals against Thailand U19.
