IT was all fumble and grumble in Manila as teams started arriving for the SEA Games but, luckily, the national Under-23 football team did not face any issues in Manila apart from the traffic. Other teams reported having to wait for hours for the team bus and even being brought to the wrong hotel.

Coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee said they faced no problems travelling from the airport to the hotel on Saturday, and were able to conduct their first training session at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on the same day.
