By the way I am also working with the AIFF to see if they can get online streaming for the tournament like the SAFF cup did and have been in touch with some members of the senior committee.<div><br></div><div>They are looking into it but I'm not going to get my hopes up because there are only a few weeks left and nothing in India happens quickly...</div>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">I am sorry but no. I respect Nepal. I think they are one of the best in SAFF but they wont cause much competition. The SAFF have Full Matches on youtube and from watching those you can see that the passing style they have is just a look. People will mistaken it for the Tika-Taka (like some in the comments section did) and think Nepal are the Spain of SAFF when really all they are doing is doing a bunch of side passing into open space and then crossing and hoping that either...</font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; ">A) Someone will head it in.

honestly i rate them as
weakest team in nehru
cup.may b better than
maldives.
...you may be right syria n cameron looks quiet better n india saff champ . If Players
like anil gurung n other non scoring strikers remain again i see nepal finishing last. No output is main problem . U_22 was also beyond expectation. About tiki taka nepal ended last in challange cup due to long balls ...anyway i wish nepal doing some better. But i see non saff nation better.

<br><div><br></div><div>Dude not sure what match you watched, but if you watched all the matches you would see they had the best style of play and didn't just make 'side' passes. They were extremely attacking, they just lost close matches due to experience.</div><div><br></div><div>They actually played better than both India and Maldives in the SAFF and were unlucky to lose close matches. </div><div><br></div><div>Let's see I think they will give a pretty good fight to all the teams.</div>
Come on what are you guys saying.. you call this beautiful style of playing..just a few passes and then lobbing it up for some one to hit..they are short in stature guys so when they run around it seems like a very athletic team..haha <br>Their strikers look lost...seems like even Pailan Arrows(team that doesnt score) would thrash them<br>Frankly even with the shitty team that India had, our style of play was much better from the end of our group games..<br>

<br><div><br></div><div>George Alwyn braking down there defense would be a great thing to see. </div>
I agree with amr090 the nepali side is pretty attacking, how bout we make fun bets on who we think will win their matches, ok i will start and take a risk<div>i say nepal will beat india and maldives.</div>
