experienced players like rajpal singh,arjun halappa,gagan ajit etc could have made it to the olympics but for the divisive mindset of nobbs..he has done a greg chappell with the hockey team..
First thing is required clear mind. second thing required is good upbringing & Character. Third thing is required training free from politics. Fourth thing height & good health which is present in clear mind. Fifth thing is required physical beauty. Sixth thing is required blessings from everyone. Last thing is required self motivation, passion & confidence.
if you employ good enough people then they would make you good enough for the olympics....if you don't and keep showing your proudness which is a very common thing amongst US.....then as they say in ENGLISH: pride hath a fall....and therefore be in the 12th position....HA HA HA HA AHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
