Plz stop writing such negative reports. The indian team did very well. Except for the Spain match they did not lose by more than 1 goal. With most of the Indian team being juniors, it was a creditiable show. Today, the Indian cricket team is 7th and we don't find such articles on cricket in the press. If hoceky today does not get its due it is because of such absurd reporting as this one...Plz stop this.
We Indians are prone to making statements which show ourselves/our achievements in poor light. This Indian team is in a formative phase under the coaching of Gerhard Rach. As rightly put by the coach our goal should be to look at the 2008 Olympic. Except a few veterans like Tirkey & Rasquinha rest of the squad is young & have a limited exposure at this level. Hence a 3-4 year period seems reasonable to built up a robust & strong team. One welcome change that is setting in as seen in the Champions trophy is that we have started playing as a unit rather than as Individuals. This bent has been recognised & also confirmed by rival coaches like Oltomans of Pakistan.
No point in mulling over every defeat. The coach & the team knows their job. We should back this team of young talent.
