Nepal v Kuwait about to kick off in Bhutan at 8pm AEDT, the only match in question, Jordan v Taiwan at 3am tomorrow (Wednesday) morning AEDT.
No idea if streams or any other information is available.

The only thing that would make an away trip for a Socceroos match against Nepal any better would be if it was held in Bhutan.

+xThe only thing that would make an away trip for a Socceroos match against Nepal any better would be if it was held in Bhutan. True, although I've wanted to go to Iran so bad, and the Iraq game was an opportunity, but it's not the same when you're not playing the home country in their own country. When the Aussies came to town in Bishkek everyone was talking about it and it was an unforgettable occasion! I hope Nepal gets their stadium repaired in time to host us, I'd like to do the Mt Everest base camp trek in the same trip. Hopefully we'll draw Bhutan next time, that would be a terrific away trip too.

Nepali pen shout ignored, they gathered it and cut it back but their guy skied it.

Kuwait 0-1. Once their guy made that lateral run into space was always going in.

Nepal with a shot on target following a corner, they're not out of this.

Kuwait resorting to rolling around on the astroturf in the 51st minute.

Blatant attempt to take out the wily Nepalese number 7 by a Kuwait DM, only gets a yellow.

Playing here is going to be tough going, the ball really holds up on the astroturf
...and now the Kuwaiti keeper is down with cramp. Hope we put these karnts to the sword in the return leg

Damn, that Nepali number 7 is only 19, all their creativity has come through him. Someone get him a gig in Australia.

Kuwait having much more of the ball now by the 75th minute, no doubt the gap in fitness and conditioning showing. Stopping for a rest on the astroturf at every opportunity also helps.

Good creative lifted through ball and volley by Kuwait, well saved by the keeper.

Awkward scenes with the Nepal GK forced to play the ball at his feet into the corner flag under pressure, where were his mates?

I must say the quality of host broadcaster coverage is infinitely better than the Jordan Australia game, even over Bet365.

FT 0-1 for Kuwait. Nepal tenacious to the end, we'll never know what could have happened had they been able to host the match in their home country.

So let's assume Jordan beat Taiwan at home tonight, so the implications for Australia going into March's pair of matchdays with us leading the pack on 12 points to Jordan and Kuwait's 10 are as follows:
First matchday 26/03/20: Australia hopefully smashes Kuwait at home, the other game between Nepal and Taiwan not being relevant while Jordan have a bye. Australia 15, Kuwait and Jordan still 10.
Second matchday 31/06/20: Hopefully we get a draw between Kuwait and Jordan or a Kuwait win, meaning an away win in Nepal will seal first place for us, making the Nepal away trip a must for the celebration as the last two home games in June will be dead rubbers, leaving both the squad and fans with three clear months to focus on the Copa America.

Of course, this scenario is rose-tinted stuff as we've botched it against Kuwait at home before, and it relies on results outside of our control.
Every game with qualification points on the line - be it a Round 2 home match against Guam, or an inter-confederation playoff against Brazil - must be treated with the utmost respect, until qualification is sealed.

Scenes!. A brief shirt pull sees the Thailand player fall and the penalty is given. Very dubious. Penalty is saved by the Vietnam keeper kicking it mid-air!

Goal Vietnam straight after from a corner but the ref has blown a foul. Seriously! What a terrible call. The keeper mistimed his jump and went into the other attacker but a hand on the keeper's chest has warranted the foul.
