AFF Cup: Vietnam Set Sights On Semi Final

      
  Vietnam are ready for a last four finish at the 2008 AFF Suzuki Cup that kicks off later today.
  The boys from Hanoi are in action against co-hosts Thailand on Saturday in Phuket.
  Head Coach, Henrique Calisto, is confident that Vietnam can get out of a group that also contains Laos and Malaysia.
  "In the past weeks, my team have proved that the are ready to get the best result," Calisto told local reporters.
  "Thailand for sure are a strong team. We may beat or draw with them, but I know that we will play a good game and it will be a difficult match for them."  
   "It is not good that we have to meet with the hosts in the opening match. If we win over Thailand, the door to the semi-final will be open for us. A win will boost the players' spirits, which will help us much when we face Malaysia and Laos later."  
  Star striker Le Cong Vinh echoed his coach's comments.
  "I have not scored for the national team in recent matches but I am confident that the whole team will play together and provide me with chances to score," he said.
