lJAKARTA - Warganet from Indonesia is busy raiding FIFA accounts. They reported the match between Vietnam vs Thailand in the final match of the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup group stage which they claimed was "flirting".

In uploading the PSSI account on Instagram, the Indonesian football federation uploaded a number of photos and videos as an appreciation for the U-19 national team players. This post is dedicated to the struggle of Garuda Nusantara, which won 4-1 over Myanmar.

Despite winning and winning in the group standings, in fact Indonesia's steps were lost to advance to the semifinals of the U-19 AFF Cup due to regulations.

This upload then invited thousands of netizen comments, the majority of which expressed pride and continued to give encouragement to Shin Tae-yong's team.

However, there were also many netizens who invaded the FIFA account to ask the world football body to investigate the alleged match fixing between the Vietnam vs Thailand match. They also supported PSSI to protest against AFF.

“FIFA, Vietnam vs Thailand in AFF U-19 are suspected of being match fixing. This is very bad for Southeast Asian football," wrote the account @tama*****n

"Good morning, FIFA officials. Please check the Vietnam vs Thailand match at AFF U-19, whether there is match fixing or not. Because they don't do fair play," said the account @dess******ry

"Support PSSI's move, urging the AFF and FIFA to investigate the Vietnam vs Thailand match which is considered not to be fair play and sportsmanship. Sport is not just about winning or losing. But how hard work and honesty are fought for," said netizen @ppppp***eeen

From the many comments that have come in, most netizens don't really have a problem with the regulations in the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup which use head-to-head in determining their position in the standings.

But clearly they are more concerned with the attitude of Vietnam vs Thailand which is reluctant to attack since the 1-1 draw occurred in the 77th minute.

Since the 77th minute, neither Vietnam nor Thailand made any attempt to attack until the score remained 1-1. This result also made the U-19 Indonesian National Team failed to qualify.
