The morale of Nepali Football Team is high after thrashing East-Timor 7-1 at Dashrath Stadium in FIFA world cup qualifiers 1st Round. Now with the winning spirit Nepali Team is all set for the 2nd round games. Nepal is all set to play against Jordan in the second round on July 23 and 28. Jordan, ranked 83rd in the FIFA ranking currently, is two times (2004 and 2011)quarter finalists in AFC Asian Cup.
Comparing Nepal's ( FIFA ranking 148) and Jordan's historical background,Jordan seems to be stronger with stats. But Nepali Coach Graham Roberts thinks other way.He believes that Nepal can beat Jordan. When asked if Nepal can beat Jordan, Roberts said,"Why not! We can beat them. We are confident and will do everything possible in the second round qualifiers"
Jordan and Nepal are playing against each other for the first time. Jordan might be a tough call for Nepal but one thing common in both teams is they have lost only one match played in last seven matches.
