It's a fact of life for Indian hockey, because the country's politicians and the selectors are all corrupt.
First of all, they should stop calling themselves eight times Olympic Gold medalist and champions. They should stop living in the past and think of the present and future. The current players did not contribute to the gold medals. They will still lose the next game to finish at the bottom and come home with the wooden spoon. They can say,"Atleast we got something"!
even very small muslim countries got some medal but none by paki.We hope next time olympics introduce a game of how to make a house with compound wall ,they may get a gold.
HI deserve to be at the 12th position as they have shattered every Indian's expectations. Every one had expected HI to bring at least 1 medal, but....... We must ban this Indian Hokey team from representing our country or play this National Game any more.game by

True a TOP 6 Finish was expected and anticipated, Nice to sees Pakistan finishing 7th. It's a team where the Passion and Love for the Game can be Felt.
Agree Indian Hockey needs a Lot to Improve, As they say Old Habits die Hard, We Learn and Play Hockey differently right from the Basics, Our Training session starts from Dribbling with the Ball, Playing Skillful Game, Tapping the ball differently etc. So grooming to play European style of Game has to start from Bud. But we do not have infra for school level Kids. But nothing to beat and enjoy the Game b/w India and Pakistan where the Traditional Hockey is a Treat to Eyes.
make no mistake, play the same game..do not change the patter, If we are getting 12 position that is our worth...we deserve what we get, and we get what we deserve..
