Episode 136 - Hong Kong is going to Qatar (just a bit later)
A football palate cleanser in the midst of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. There is certainly no better time to turn our backs on the big tournament and talk about what really matters: our local game in Hong Kong. And to be fair, Qatar will also be a major destination for the HK national team in the near future.
This time Jonathan White and Tobias Zuser take a closer look at the Hong Kong Premier League table to name and shame the winners and losers of the season so far. Of course they also don't miss out on all juicy gossips around passports, Chinese names, and weird analogies.
