IndonesiaLens Endri Erawan wants AFF out of Vietnam and Thailand from U19 East Asia, if there's a negative sign in the 10/7-7 Dark.

Mr. Erawan is in Indonesian Tech, when the winner of Myanmar-1. He said he didn't see himself in the fight between Vietnam and Thailand at the same time, but he heard that these two teams didn't want to attack. "If they played fair-play, they would have attacked and scored a table when you were 1-1," you said.

"I hope the AFF can look into that game," added the Indonesia captain. "If the AFF believes that the actions of the other two teams are fair, then go ahead. If unfairness is found, consider excluding Vietnam and Thailand from the competition."

Indonesia are unbeaten in Group A with three wins and two draws. They scored 17 goals and conceded only two. Indonesia's goal difference (+15) equals the sum of Vietnam (+9) and Thailand (+6). The three teams also had the same points, but Vietnam and Thailand scored higher than Indonesia when facing each other. Indonesia, meanwhile, had only drawn 0-0 with Vietnam and Thailand in previous matches.

Goal difference is only considered when the team has the same result and the number of goals faced. After the two teams have the same record of confrontation, Vietnam also topped the list because of its better goal difference than Thailand. "I believe Indonesia is the strongest in the tournament and deserves to be top of Group A," Erawan added. "Just because of the rules of the game, we were eliminated."

In fact, Vietnam and Thailand played moderately in the last 10-plus minutes of yesterday's match, when a 1-1 score was enough to keep them ahead. Vietnamese players only pass the ball at home, while Thai players do not scramble for the ball. Thailand's physicality has also dropped significantly, with up to three players having to lie on the field during this period, even if they didn't collide with anyone.

In the semi-final, Vietnam will face Laos or Malaysia in Bekasi on July 13.
