Only one prediction proved accurate: "Hudson" revealed astonishing details after discovering Thailand's three opponents for the 2027 Asian Cup.
On 30 May 2026 at 13:00 GMT+7, at the Novotel Future Park Rangsit hotel, Thailand's men's national football team reported for training to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Day international friendlies scheduled for June.
The reporting session was led by head coach Anthony Hudson, accompanied by players such as Teerasil Dangda, Sarach Yooyen, and Suphanat Mueanta. Four players—Jude Bellingham, Iklas Sanhorn, Narubodin Veerawatnodom, and Theeraphat Prueathong—were absent due to commitments but are set to join the squad on 1 June 2026.
Anthony Hudson said, "The primary importance, like every camp, is to set high standards. We have quality players in the team and expect good results in the two matches during this camp. The first game is especially crucial. We expect the initial match to require more preparation time to build good form and achieve the desired results. Playing at home, we respect our opponents, but our first goal is to secure a positive outcome against Kuwait."
"When I participated in the 2027 Asian Cup draw, everyone hoped for the easiest group to maximize chances of progressing deep into the tournament. I admit the group we got is very strong."
"I personally know Qatar well, and many know Japan. Some of our players have faced them before in matches. Anything can happen, but the most important thing to showcase good performance is to start preparing from this camp onward."
"If we prepare the plan well and correctly, anything is possible in the Asian Cup, whether in terms of performance or scoreline. When meeting fans now, they don’t say much; the first thing they say is ‘Very sweet,’ and nothing else."
"The key now is to prepare the best players physically and mentally for the AFF Cup and FIFA AFF Cup, using all the quality we have. Our expectation is to participate and win both tournaments."
