ORANGE ARMY IN TOWN

Holland's football team are in Bangkok, and they take on the Thailand national team this evening in a match that is live on Channel 7 here. For Thailand, this match is part of their build up to the Asian Football Championships which begin early next month. Last month Thailand upset the odds to defeat a strong Chinese side 1-0.
Tickets for the match start at just 200 baht (less then three quid) and the most expensive VIP tickets are priced at 1,000 baht (less than 15 quid). What a difference in prices from football in the Europe and the UK.
Although the probable Dutch squad looks not to be their strongest, I still fancy them to win by at least three of four clear goals. Thailand are without several key players too, and they'll suffer more because of the apparent lack of strength in depth at national level.
