Yeah.... another nike kit in asean region.... how boring.... bet it will have the same template as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia (minus the stripe). The same design with the double V neck collar. only to follow the nation colours. How obvious right.

anyway congrats to the viets on the nike deal and of cos the Suzuki Cup!!

So the Vietnamese Football Federation take on an American sponsor, oblivious to what the yanks did to their country all those years ago, talk about selling their souls...

Because obviously the people who run nike are the same people who were responsible for the war.

I think it\'s fitting that the Vietnamese are going to wear nike, the vietnamese are the ones who make the shirts anyway.

It is an intersting question. How long do you simmer over brutality and violence commited by the country( not company-Nike is really a worldwide company )
so are Nike determined to buy up all rights to all kits all around the world, once they have finished with football go on to tennis, rugby etc.

You are obvious stupid. It was long time ago and it belongs to history. You have to forgive and move on, not stepping in the same place over and over again. This is a smart chose.
