Nepal's 2nd Round World Cup 2014 qualifiers.

I was super excited about Nepal's match against Jordan. Obviously Jordan is a superior team and ranked well above Nepal. But, we all had some hope of fighting performance and luck. Nepal had performed well against World cup 2010 team North Korea few months before and everybody were hoping for similar sort of performance. Coach Graham Roberts was pretty bullish about Nepal's chances and that didn't help either.

Nepal's away leg in Amman, Jordan was concluded just few minutes before and Nepal has tasted a big thumping loss. Jordan won the match by nine goals to nil. Nepal's chances of going into third round of qualifying is practically nil. Its no shame to lose against stronger opposition but this scoreline is pretty demoralizing. I never expected Nepal to win this tie but didn't expect to roll over in this fashion either. Don't know what to write next, so I better stop.
