Not a big problem , India definatly going to reach into the semis, going to win against south africa in style, beat korea by more than two goals and fianlly win against Netherland by one goal.....I think other team in group B going to reach into semis is Netherlands.

Body Language in the Hockey Game
by Manish Ahuja on Sep 07, 2006 09:31 AM

Hi,
While watching the beautiful hockey game, we had with Germany, I noticed few things which gave me uneasy thoughts.
The jubiliant celebrations after scoring the first equaliser. Team rushing towards the bench and the coach. It was too early.

Secondly towards the end when we conceded the third goal, Adrian D\\\'souza shared a few harsh words with one of his teammates. Again something uncalled for and too early in the tournament.

Buck up guys and stay cool. Do us proud and win games and friends.
Manish

I was taking a quick look at the report. Wanted to know only the final score. But you made me read through the whole report and still not very sure of if the final score was 2-1 or 3-2. Had to visit another website for this.

Would be helpful if you add like:
Germany 3 India 2 at the beginning of the report.

thanks
Natarajan

Frustating
by Sandeep M Deokar on Sep 06, 2006 11:27 PM

Same old story again....
we are repeating the same mistake again and again
I dont know how come one team will repeat the same mistake for so many times
we will play loosely in first half and second half we will try our level best to take lead or to equalise and agian if we are succeding in doing so we will be losing match in last 5 mins we can lose match in last 10 mins even if we are 3-0 up so its really bad
I think we are physically or mentally not that much strong play complete 70 mins of hockey and it really hurts hockey lover like me who will always go and sit infornt of TV whenever India is playing and get hurted and today I am very nervious after seeing what happened....
I dont know what is the problem but we need to rectify it ...
and one more thing we have to teach basics of hockey to few of our senior players that if they are playing in opponents half they should be try and tackle the ball by going infront of defneder not from back side of defender and I am talking about one of our senior forward...
dont know I was thinking that Dilip Tirky and comp will be standing on podium for receiving gold but i was over optimestic again yes i was i thinkg its history.......

Same old story

History repeats itself once more. I thought the team played pretty well but when will the Indians learn the game is not over till the last whistle is blown. I think this defeat will have broken the morale of the team and we can expect some terrible performances in the next few games, which they have to win to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.

Indians Played Well (though they lost)
by sweety on Sep 06, 2006 09:54 PM

I saw the game in Moenchengladbach and I can say that though Indian's were at receiving end in the first half, they played very well at the end scoring two goals. It was sheer luck that Germany scored in the last minute. Well Fight India.
