  "account": "Singapore's national football team, the Lions, suffered a devastating 6-0 defeat to Malaysia in the Fifa Asean Cup on October 1, leaving fans of the team severely disappointed. An outspoken fan group, SingaBrigade, expressed their outrage on social media, describing the performance as \"a horror show\" and warning the national team about the upcoming AFC Asian Cup 2027. The supporters criticized the way the Lions played, stating that they could not accept losing such a humiliating match. They noted that the team gave up after the third goal, conceding amateurish goals throughout the game. Despite the harsh criticism, SingaBrigade reaffirmed their support for the Lions and urged the team to fight for every minute and earn back the faith they lost on match night. The Lions, currently third in the group with only one goal in three matches, have faced tough opponents and are preparing for the AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia, where they will face Australia, Iraq, and Tajikistan. Their coach, Gavin Lee, acknowledged the team's struggles and promised to improve their performance in future matches, vowing never to take fan support for granted.",
