The people are not really interested in listening to excuses. Like you said there can be a million reasons for failing but please for a change find one to succeed....Otherwise there is no use in the recognition of playing the "official sport" of the country.

We can not blame our hocky team since most of us are going behind the cricket... for us cricket is everything... give atleast 10% motivation to the hockey team that we have been giving to our cricket team. I'm sure there will be surprises.
Be proud of the fact that you guys reperesented India in Athens.And for the lacklusture performance all I have to say is "Make use of the mistakes of the past as stepping stones of success that's awaiting our hockey team".Step up,suck it up and make us proud!!
As usual, Indian hockey players are acting like cry-babies they are. No physical conditioning, no discipline, no national pride, no work ethics, no honesty, but a bunch of individuals who blame each other and the coach. TheGerman coach is fine, but for Indians who cannot toughen it out. A group of dumb whiners. India is a nation of whiners and corrupt people, barring a few in the armed forces. The country of 99% garbage.

Hey dude, comments like these can not appreciated, especially by an Indian. Clean up your mindset before setting out to give your comments. I don't want to list out achievements by so many Indians (the 1% that you categorize) but they came out because of competition domestically. Every country goes through phases and India has been going thru a bad phase but we can already see the change in business community by companies like Infosys. It will follow in Sports sooner or later.

No, i dont agree with you that 99% is garbage, dont blame the country. Individuals should take the responsibility to build the nation. Take the example of kenya and ethiopia which are underdeveloped countries, but still manage to win medals at olympics. Do they have the infrastructure,coach,money etc., etc.,???? It is high time that we stop this blame game and concentrate on the next olympics and aim higher!

Please hold on to your tongue when you post on the web and think from your mind not your foot US TATE. It appears you have taken to slavery for the the US of A by posting vile comments. A nation of 99% garbage has just 1 contribution from someone called US TATE who amounts to some 99% of that 99%.
