Socceroos vs Nepal: how to live stream the World Cup qualifier for free Jamie Maclaren scores past Nepal goalkeeper during FIFA World Cup Qualifier
Hot on the heels of dominant victories over Kuwait and Chinese Taipei, the Socceroos have almost guaranteed a spot for Australia in the next round of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
After digging in and defeating Chinese Taipei 5-1 on June 8, the Socceroos are now set to face Nepal. Australia are comfortably placed at the top of the leaderboard with 18 points after securing six wins back-to-back.
The Socceroos have two more games ahead of them, including Nepal on June 12 at 2am AEST and Jordan on June 16 at 5am AEST. At the very least, they’ll require two draws to progress to the next stage of qualifiers.
With Nepal only claiming two wins from their past six games, Australia appear to be in good shape to claim another victory on Saturday. Second-placed Jordan are more likely to be the tougher team for the Socceroos next week.

It’s not unsurpassable, as you could try using a VPN to set the IP address of your laptop, phone or tablet back to one in Australia and watch as if you were in the country. TechRadar’s top VPN recommendation is ExpressVPN.
