Sakon FC wins at Yasothon 2-1

Detoured by way of Mukdahan
Plenty of vendors at the waterfront shopping area, hardly any shoppers.

The side trip through Mukdahan was quite disappointing.
Hoped to buy some bread rolls, came away empty handed.

Arriving in Yasothon we lucked out in finding an excellent eatery:

Steak Yasothon.

Food was great, the place was very clean. Seems to be visited by local expats in the area.

After lunch we headed to the football stadium.  
Our luck had apparently 'gone south.'

Start time had again been changed from 5 pm to 4 pm.
When we arrived the game was well under way.
Only enjoyable part of our arrival were some loud cheers...
Sakon Nakhon had just scored

4:37 PM

Moments before halftime Yasothon evened the score

4:44 pm

The lectures during half time seemed to have had the desired effect.

New arrival in Sakon City Moving to Sakon Nakhon - Teaching English (lonelyplanet 6 June) Schafer appointed Muangthong coach  after contract termination with Thailand That the Schafer's contract was terminated was no surprise.  Rumors of termination and denials have been flying around for quite a long time.  There was some improvement in the Thailand team, just not enough and not fast enough. Personally consider premier league teams Muangthong United and Buriram United as better teams than the Thai national team.  My opinion it's not the coaching, rather it's the management that needs replacing 7 Most Unhealthy Processed Foods You Need To Avoid Number one on this list is a real surprise to me,  considering it's been one of my recent favorites.
