well said ... cricket is the only way to go wayward... even the name IPL is borrowed from EPL (for English football)
Well done boys. Please keep the momentum and bring home the cup. Let this be an eye opener for the people of India. This is our national game and we should not ignore it completely.
Usually Indian hockey players don't fare well against Pakistanis in hockey. There is this psychological edge they have over us. But this game was different. Fortunate enough to watch the entire match. Goals scored by Sandeep Singh and Diwakar Ram deserve special mention India got four penalty corner opportunities and we we were able to convert two into goals. In the second half the players were very tired as lot of running had been already done. This period was marked by long scoop shots . The players were just happy to get rid of the ball from their circle. And the Pakistani players need to be commended for their resilience. Till the lat few seconds of the game they were trying for that elusive equalizer. And once again superb effort by the goal keeper . Or else we would have conceded this game as we usually do. Overall a good match. Hope we reach the finals and defeat the Argentines. All the best Indians
Great going but stiff task ahead.. as next match is scheduled with Malaysia and if we can manage a win then only we are through to final where we can take revenge from ARGENTINA....Good luck
I think the boyz did very well after all that back door entries. Funds being misused by authorities and such high level of corruption.
Poor guys don't even get applauded for their efforts forget about getting awarded. Had this been cricket the guys would have been bestowed with all kinds of honurs and huge sum of money would have poured in.
