  • Three Star Club, my hometown football team and one of the top clubs in Nepal, made it to the semifinals in India after winning their match 1-0. But for some reason (which I still don’t know), the organizers decided the match had to be replayed. Surprisingly, Three Star Club agreed to this, and in the More on this
