Thai futsal side second

by TOR CHITTINAND

Thailand's futsal team finished runners-up in the 5s Futsal Championship yesterday after they drew 2-2 with tournament winners Argentina at Nimibutr Gymnasium.

Thailand and Argentina had won two and drawn one game each but Argentina had a better goal difference.

Thailand's futsal coach Jose Maria Pazos Mendez said he was pleased with his team's performance because of Argentina's pedigree and that he had high hopes for the future.''I believe Thailand can become the top Asian futsal team,'' he said.

In the other match, Japan thrashed Vietnam 12-1 to finish third.

Thailand will play in the Fifa World Futsal Championship in Brazil from Sept 30 to Oct 19.
