Nepal has started to train 2 months before kick off . Nepal has superior fitness quick and pacy flanks . Only mistake is strikers not combining n poor finishing . Maldives and nepal will fight for trophy in final hopefully . If we have good strikers like maldives team or india team we will be unbeatabke in our home matches .

Better not to expect anything from Nepal team. Only two teams from South Asia can claim for trophy are Maldives and India. If Nepal play good game that is enough for this time also. There is no good striker in Nepal team. Do not blame to players. I would like to suggest all friends and fans not to make unnecessary comments.
