Ashley Westwood’s position as manager is untenable after Hong Kong failed to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup. He must do the honourable thing and resign — or he must be sacked. www.offside.hk/hkteam/ashle...

FT - Singapore beat Hong Kong 2-1 and qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup. Nothing left to play for in the campaign for 🇭🇰. One can’t help to seriously question Westwood’s pick for goalkeeper for these last 2 games.

Some of the players who took to the field at Mong Kok Stadium mentioned that the pitch’s turf has grown a bit long and could benefit from a trim. Maybe one way to slightly improve speed and intensity of the next games there. #hkfootball
