"as the game was rather lackluster."
Sorry SGY, the game was not a 'lackluster' as you heard. That was supposed to be the most interesting game of that year as compared to the Nepali football scenario of that time. It must be noted too, that the electronic entertainment gadgets like video game consoles were very rare even in Kathmandu. I have no comments about rest of your comments.
P.S. I was one of the survivor of that tragic day !
