More than a victory.

        Last night, Spain won their fifth Davis Cup in history with Rafael Nadal’s phenomenal victory against Juan Martin Del Potro. For me, however, the utmost highlight of the evening was not the splendid performance both players delivered, but rather, what took place both on the spectator bleachers throughout the 4-hour match as well as on the court during the award ceremony.

Football and the Nobody-Cares Sports

          Humbled by Myanmar with a humiliating 1-4 defeat, our U23 football team left Jakarta empty-handed. I may sound like an unpatriotic Vietnamese saying this, but honestly, this defeat did not really upset me, at least not as much as those in the many previous SEA Games. I used to cry my eyes out. I used to go into depression for several consecutive days. This time, none of those reactions happened.
