Synopsis: ST Sports Talk is The Straits Times' monthly sports podcast.
In this episode, sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz and sports reporter Deepanraj Ganesan invite former professional player and coach Shasi Kumar - who commentated on all three of Singapore’s World Cup qualifying matches in Saudi Arabia June - to discuss why the national football team crumbled in the Middle East and what the Lions can do to rediscover the verve that made them a joy to watch not too long ago.
They discuss:
- Pandemic or league standard to blame for fitness levels? (3:42)

- How to forge leadership in the team? (12:37)
- Is Yoshida still the right man to lead the Lions? (16:44)
