PHNOM PENH: The fast-improving Philippines are building up to their maiden FIFA Women's World Cup, but first, Southeast Asian glory is at stake and a must-win clash against Vietnam awaits on Tuesday (May 9).
From football to cricket, coach to teammate: Two Singapore SEA Games athletes and their sporting journeysTheir rise has been driven in part by a push to recruit young players from the country's large diaspora, nurturing classy players such as goal threat Sarina Bolden and playmaker Quinley Quezada.
Their opening match of the SEA Games ended in a 1-0 loss to Myanmar, but they beat Malaysia 1-0 on Saturday - a towering header from Bolden the last meaningful touch of the game. "I feel like this team has been through so much in the past 15, 16 months. It doesn't matter what time of the game it is, just that Filipino resilience, we're never going to give up."
