| KEY PLAYER | Le Tan Tai |
| FLOP | Le Cong Vinh |
| STRENGTHS | Vietnam failed to show any positive signs during this tournament |
| WEAKNESSES | Lack of creativity, lack of motivation, poor finishing |
| FINISH | 3rd in Group A |
| SUMMARY | Vietnam's worst performance in this tournament ever as the they were eliminated at the group stage with only one point. Limited resources, lack of motivation and internal conflicts were the main reasons which led to a lacklustre display from Vietnam. During the tournament, Vietnam's attack simply seemed harmless while the defense was too weak against quick counter-attacks. Vietnam's number-one hope Le Cong Vinh turned out to be a flop. As a result, the complete failure of Vietnam forced coach Phan Thanh Hung to leave his position. |
