As a Nepali football fan, this has been the most uplifting moment ever since we reached the final of Saff '99. Our performances in yesteryears have been quite embarrassing. Thusly, each of us is entitled to feel psyched following our win over S. Asian powerhouses like India. 

Regardless of outcomes in forthcoming days - semis and hopefully, the final included, upon reflection, we'll have played quite impressive football under the new manager. Personally, I've never been a fan of long balls being played to our strikers due to their statures, but even then, we've managed to score some crucial goals. Also, Rohit Chand being deployed as a midfielder as opposed to defender under Roberts' tenure has been a stroke of genius. 

Winning the tournament won't appear that significant in terms of International Football standards, but the momentum we'll be gaining will be quite superb.
