Its International break, that no PL, Laliga, Champions League or anything. What can be more thrilling than my country Nepal is playing in this time of year. We, Nepalese rarely can see our national team playing. We just go out in first round of qualifier in both Asia Cup and World Cup. We hardly play 3 matches in International level in a year. SAFF Championship is one of the opportunities for us.
