Vietnam won the Asian Football Federation Cup Champion for the second time


Vietnam's victory in the Asian Football Federation Cup final made big cities such as Hanoi, Saigon, and other localities virtually a sea of red. Million football fans erupted with joy, pouring out into streets to celebrate Vietnam's win. Right after the last whistle at the Vietnam-Malaysia clash at the national 40,000-seat stadium had blown, an impressive audio-visual feast, with red colour covering every corner of streets along with a bizarre sound of vuvuzela-like horns, took place across the country.

This is what said as "di bao", literally translated as "going like a storm", in Vietnamese. That is, Vietnamese people go out into streets by motorbikes with their national flags, a yellow star on the red background, carrying anything that can make noises. In addition, thousands of people standing on two sidewalks to welcome these people. This is a way the Vietnamese celebrate their win of the national football team at any important football tournament.
