TRANSPORT delays, footballers training in the streets and two toilets in one stall: a chaotic final build-up has put the Philippines under pressure before the Southeast Asian Games open on Saturday.

The worst incidents have spilled forth under the hashtag #SEAGamesfail, including scaffolding clinging to an incomplete stadium renovation and a temporary press room built from unpainted cinder blocks.
