I did woke up 4 am this morning to watch the Semifinal live, ofcourse no doubt that we all wanted to be in Finals. Been a long time that I haven't watched the Nepalese soccer team since cam to states 8 yrs ago. The only player that I had seen playing before in Nepal wa Bijay Grg and Sagar Thapa. I had heard Jumanu Rai, Santosh No 9 striker but I was kind of dissappointed to see our strikers. Ofcourse, strikers supposed to attack, have some good post charge, you gotta threat the opponent goal keeper.
Moreover, when Nepal get's a freekick more than 30 yards, it was not a good idea to drop the ball around the D as due to the Height advantage of Afghan's. Sometime they should find a player wide open and let him force to charge the ball outside from D. Just imagine how the Barcelona plays when they get a freekick outside 30 yards, or even in corner, they try to build up!!!!!

We can't say Nepal played good. Analyze, we just tied with Maldives, luckily won the game against the Bangla on that God gifted Freekick and the tied with pakistan. If we were really favourite, we would have won all 3 games in a league and then we could have said we are going for the FINALS!!!! Nepal always looses the game, so when instead of loosing, drawing a game is considered as a winning that is why we are saying we have been developed. Why the hell, it took us 12 years in this modern days to reach Semifinal.
I was glad to see that Nepal's Jersey no 15 Raju Tamang playing as I played with him in one local tournament in our hometown before I came to states. 
Hope one day we will do better. I have a high aim that I will be making my kids a great soccer player!!!!!! Cheers Nepal, there are many things we gotta improve.
