I'm surprised they'd have room after all the Middle East gobbling they've been up to.

While the FFA might be obliged to call them Chinese Taipei, there's no reason the media should, although they probably don't know the context.

Really want to see Hrustic and Souttar in the 11 tomorrow!

^ Agree. Lock them in! 

Plz can some strikers score tonight. Don’t even care which one/s

Would be great if Irvine was given the captains armband tonight.

Wouldn't mind seeing something like this:

While it would be nice to see, I couldn't see it happening any time soon. His definitely one for the future though. 

Leckie, Mooy, Degenek, and even Behich would all in my opinion be above him in the pecking order from the team you picked.

For Nepal game
Referee: Thoriq Munir Alkatiri (Indonesia)

score predictions? 

Its a chinese Taipei  for all of their sport teams. U should never call Taiwan. It will be funny to call Taiwan. Its nt a politic or holliday.

Fair to say that this game hasn't really captured the imagination of the Canberra public...been a bit in the newspapers but really overshadowed by the Raiders GF run. 

I wouldn't expect more than 15k there tonight and I'm sure the Nepalese will be louder than us

I'm predicting a 6-0 victory tonight. Nepal will most likely sit back and look to get us on the counter and considering we aren't very clinical it may be 1 or 2 nil at half time and we'll score a few more in the last 15 minutes. We should be looking to play for corners too when possible.

Edit: Their forward Bimal Gharti Magar will be one to keep an eye on he's 21 now but first played for the senior team when he was 14. Currently playing for a club in The Maldives but has had trials in Europe before.

10-0 Nepal look at about a Tajikstan level.

Will this be shown on free to air? 

??

Did you miss all the ABC news?

ABC at 8pm AEDT

Chinese Taipei is a name imposed on them the international community at the behest of China. 

I'll call it Taiwan because that's what it is. 

Give my regards to Premier Xi Jiping when you make your next report.   

Just bought a ticket and the PAX is 19549 which is very reasonable actually

Apparently massive Nepalese contingent rocking up to this game, there are a few hundred thousand that live in Straya.  

Yeah agreed - would be a good candidate. Has worn the captains armband this year for Hull and I believe he is VC - so they must see some leadership potential there.

Surely a few tens of thousands?
Happy to be wrong but that seems high...

Daniel Garb quoted 100,000 and said they were expecting somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 of them to be at the game in Canberra tonight.

10k tops, its Canberra ffs.

I work with a Nepalese dude, he reckons alot, 100,000 quoted seem correct though.   

Canberra is more interesting than Auckland.  And that's saying something.  

Taiwan #1

China #2

U cn call Taiwan or whatever u want but officially their national team is called chinese Taipei in sports everywhere in the world. Everyone knows Taipei is Taiwan but i saw a lot of comments especially in australia are still confused about the name.

poor luttle fella is obviously developmentally challenged and doesnt know the first rule of trolling.
ie. you must be funny or you look like a complete tool.

No confusion, mate. It's Taiwan for me. "Chinese Taipei" can get stuffed.
