2004 Tiger Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2004 ASEAN Football Championship, also known as the 2004 Tiger Cup was an ASEAN football championship jointly hosted by Vietnam and Malaysia, and participated by the national football teams of various countries in South-East Asia.
The championship started off with group matches, where the top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals and the final, which was played in a home and away format.

[edit] Summary
In the group matches, Indonesia, coached by former Thailand coach Peter Withe, emerged as the Group A winners with ten points, 17 goals scored and none conceded. They were the hot favourites to win the 2004 Tiger Cup after bundling out the hosts Vietnam with an unexpected 3-0 victory. Less than a day after the match had ended, the Vietnam Football Federation requested the resignation from its national coach Edson Tavares, despite his requests to stay on until the last match. Singapore, led by Radojko Avramovic pipped out the hosts by just a single point and remained to be the only team in the championship to not lose a single match.
Following the tournament motto "Anything can happen", Myanmar, under coach Ivan Kolev emerged as the surprise, holding defending champions Thailand to a draw and beating Malaysia on their own turf.
[edit] Teams
Of the 11 countries situated in the South-East Asian region, only Brunei did not participate in this edition, while the world's newest country, Timor Leste (or East Timor) was invited by ASEAN to compete.
