Who said a Thai football team would never make it to the World Cup? Obviously, everyone did. And now they have to swallow their words because Thailand’s women’s football team is going to the World Cup in Canada next year!
The Thai team took fifth place in the Asian event yesterday and guaranteed its spot in the World Cup. Coconuts Bangkok would like to congratulate all our heroines and welcome them home.
