An expat blogger based in Vietnam has revealed a scandalous story involving love and professional football while living in the country.

The Vietnamese blogging community is large and rapidly growing. There are wedding blogs, food blogs, travel blogs, blogs about nothing, blogs, blogs, blogs. They are everywhere and it seems that every Jane, Dick and Joe has one these days. There are good blogs, there are bad blogs, and there are the flat-out weird blogs. With so many blogs to choose from, it is impossible to confirm facts but one blog in particular has raised some eyebrows in Vietnam.

Recently, an expat, living in Vietnam, decided to use her blog to reveal her relationship(s) with professional footballers from Nigeria and Congo, living and playing in Vietnam. It appears to be a kiss and tell of sorts, and the accuracy cannot be confirmed therefore names have been left out.

The Australian writer comes clean about a season of following professional football in Saigon revealing details of her relationship with four of the players. "From hit men to pilots, prisoners to porn kings....I\'ve dated them all," she shares with readers, "Since arriving in Saigon however... it\'s just been footballers.... of the African variety."

Her most recent entry begins, "Anyone who has followed this blog from my arrival will know I met my first footballer within weeks. He later moved to Hong Kong to play there, we got engaged and he cheated. In the numb time that followed that the dissolution of my engagement, I found myself swept up in a new relationship with another Nigerian footballer, his friend/enemy who spun me into a whirlwind of what I thought was true love. Within months he has spun himself out of my arms and back into those of his previous Vietnamese bar girl/girlfriend."

The blog goes on to claim a third relationship with a Nigerian footballer that also goes awry, followed by a fourth, on-going relationship involving a man from Congo who is married, with three children, currently living and playing near Saigon. "Could I really handle a 4th footballer? What about my work association with his club? Not to mention if my ex-fiance found out I was in love with yet another one of his friends."

The claimed relationship involves a player(s) from Dong Tam Long An. The writer admits that the footballer\'s wife is aware of their relationship and even calls her. Her claims cannot be verified although she says, "The press know about me, I was with half of them in South Africa, and as I said... we never tried to hide our love."

Why the woman has decided to go public appears to be because the football season officially ended on August 22. "So why now? Why on the last day of the Season have I gone \'public\' and decided to do the whole story? Well... to be honest, now I am at a point where it can\'t possibly get worse. The club (knows) about me, after all, I attended every home game for the entire season. He would walk off the field and embrace and kiss me. We would leave together. Yes tonight, I am not at the end of season official party with all the other WAG\'s because, well, because I am not official. They know he is married. It wouldn\'t be \'right\'."
