Millions of football fans in Vietnam are ready to spend sleepless nights in one month to watch the EURO 2012 that is taking place in Poland and Ukraine where the best teams in Europe compete.

Due to different time zones, local football lovers have to watch live broadcasts of late-night matches which are usually aired from 11:00pm to 3:30am next day.

From customers at luxury bars to poor dwellers in ghettos city-wide, from the old to the young, anyone of them can become a football critic while watching the ball rolling on the field.
