I couldn't watch the game but I was certain India would lose to Argrntina which looks a better side.ActuallY i had watched the Qualifiers for the Olympics held in Delhi as also the WSH matches and it could be said with authority that Indian defense is very weak and fragile.To me atleast it looks as though the two Gks are certainly not the best. In fact the Mumbai Marines GK as seen in the WSH matches , I think his name is Andrew D'Souza looks far superior to either Chetri or Srijesh the two travelling to London.Still ther is time for the indian camp to strengthen their defense.

The more pressing issue is Indian team do not have a commanding person in attack the numerous chances wasted and there is no thinking player in forwardwho can use/create the opportunity received .The defence is weak too but not to the extend of forwards .
When the defence concedes goals the whole team morale drops they need a motivator/counsellor to help them to overcome this .Mentally they are not strong surprised all the tigers on the field becomes cat

Had Indian National Hockey team played in WSH, they could have done much better. WSH would had provided a real time practice of playing against variety of teams.

6-8 is a big dream for Indian hockey. I feel that they will be the bottom of the barrel and get the wooden spoon.
