AMEN! IT'S OVER. LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT. They should start playing ICE HOCKEY like Paul Newman's movie "Slap Shot" otherwise Indian Hockey Playes should start playing 'KABADDI'
I had earlier placed a bet before our match against Australia that India would finish 8th or worse in this world cup. See my comment at the article 'India hope to maintain winning momentum against Australia' here at rediff itself. And the Indian hockey team didn't disappoint me at all! Congratulations India, and thanks as well. In my previous comment, I had even predicted that India would possibly be playing against Argentina for this position. I am proud of the Indian hockey team! Keep it up!

Mr Iyer,it is very easy to rundown our players who were plagued for most of the pre-World Cup period with in-fighting between the various hockey governing bodies,non-payment issues and widespread corruption in HIF.Mr Kalmadi has been the death of all sports activities in India for well over 20yrs and he will not simply retire!

What else did you expect when our hockey internationals were paid a pittance by HIF whereas 'Dundulkars and Bonis' earned in Crores? Do you expect our players to sacrifice their lives like Shaheed Bhagat and Raj Guru?
