After the match ended at the My Dinh Stadium last Thursday night with a 1-0 win for the home team, Nguyen Trong Du, 20, set off a flare to celebrate the win. Officers stopped him when he tried to shoot a second. Later, at the police station, he admitted to smuggling flares into the stadium. He had no opportunity to set them off during the match as officers patrolled the stadium. In September Vu Trung Truc, 35, another local football fan, was arrested for smuggling flares into a stadium and disrupting public order. He shot a flare which travelled across the field and hit another fan during a V. League match at the Hang Day Stadium in Hanoi, burning her leg to the bone and forcing her to undergo two surgeries.

Now, the team’s stars need to play club football abroad to reach their full potential. Fox Sports Asia recently named five young players likely to move abroad after the Asian Cup, including midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai. "While he plays for Hanoi FC in Vietnam currently, his fleet-footed dribbling abilities and eye for goal would definitely have attracted the attention of other teams in Asia, perhaps even in the J-League," the website wrote of the diminutive playmaker. It is not the first time Fox’s reporters have urged Hai to leave Hanoi. Last September, Scott McIntyre published an article on foxsportsasia.com entitled ‘Quang Hai needs to move abroad now’. McIntyre heaped praise on … [Read more...] about VN’s football talents should sharpen their skills abroad
