SBajwa · Post by **SBajwa** » 23 Jun 2018 19:09

What a game!! India kept the ball most of the time! and demolishes 4-0 .

I am guessing that Australia and Netherlands will score 10 goals against Bakistan!

Is it true that Pakistanis substituted their goalie for an outfield player in the final minutes of the game??

Yep! but Rupinder Singh realized this in last 10 seconds and with a long pass to Lalit Kumar who deflected it into empty goal just as the hooter goes. There was a video referral that verified that goal was indeed in the very last second of the game.

There were 3 goals in last 10 minutes.

I watched it through..thanks SBajwa ji for the link. The TSP did dominate the game in 3rd and 4th quarter. In fact they had put an equalizer, only to be faulted.
In the end when TSP pulled the Goal keeper and substituted it with the 11th player, we managed to put 3 goals.

that was not rupinder singh but ramandeep singh.

On game, India have played well but still there are lot of unforced error, which can be costly against stronger teams.

Although Oltmans is in charge of Pak hockey team it is still no longer in the same class as India. Next matches will be real deal of how this new team and coach are faring.

One thing that I do not understand is why the top 5 countries and then 13th ranked bakistan
Why not korea, Spain, england, South africa? all rated above Bakistan.

Supratik · Post by **Supratik** » 24 Jun 2018 14:38

Praggnanandhaa becomes second youngest GM. Karakin is still first. What was I doing at 12 yrs age? Still playing gilli-danda I guess.

India vs Australia today in another 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Australia so far drew with Belgium (3-3) and defeated Bakistan 2-1.

Kashi · Post by **Kashi** » 27 Jun 2018 20:24

Ended 2-3 to Australia...

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 27 Jun 2018 22:57

We always seem to have trouble with the Aussie style of play. We're able to beat everyone else from the top 6 (Arg, Ned, Ger, Bel, Gbr), but not Australia. Anyone more well versed with hockey care to explain what it is about their playing style that we find so hard to deal with ?

Supratik · Post by **Supratik** » 27 Jun 2018 23:03

Not an expert but.........game was pretty close unlike previously when Aussies would run over India. Unlike game against Arg defence made more mistakes and Aussies will be ruthless if you make mistakes. Aussie style in hockey is like Germany/France/Spain in football on good days. Extremely accurate in whatever they do. At this level the team that makes lesser mistakes will win.

SBajwa · Post by **SBajwa** » 28 Jun 2018 00:20

Coach Harendra singh is experimenting with old and new players. Shreejas and Sardara are back. This team is a total mix of young and old players. Old players are mostly in defense.
Young players who

Harjeet Singh age 22 There was a punjabi movie made on his junior world cup winning conquest.
Manpreet Singh age 26

Shreejas age 32 -- defense
Sardar Singh age 31 -- defense
Rupinder pal singh 27 -- defense
SV Sunil age 29 -- Forward

Coach is building up the team for Asian games in August. This tournament is just a practice for young and experienced players.

Indian-Bel draw 1-1. India almost disintegrated in the 4th quarter. Poor ball stopping for PC by India. Very basic. Belgian were also unable to convert a lot of PCs luckily. Harinder will be unhappy with Mandeep and Simranjit in the forward line-up. They are trying fancy things instead of getting into position and shooting at the goal. Now it is upto match between Aus-Ned and last match against Ned.

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 28 Jun 2018 22:53

I hope Aus win against Ned. If we then draw with or beat Ned tomorrow, we are more or less through to final (unless goal difference comes into play), as I understand.

SBajwa · Post by **SBajwa** » 29 Jun 2018 18:18

Australia did won 3-1 defeating Netherlands.

Srikanth, Sindhu in Malaysia open SF. Sindhu beat Carolina. Both have tough games against Momota and Tai Zhu.

India needs to defeat Netherlands tomorrow to end up in Finals! of Rabobank hockey champions trophy

nash · Post by **nash** » 29 Jun 2018 23:14

As per this

http://fih.ch/events/champions-trophy/r ... hes/pools/

India 7
Netherlands 6

A draw is more than enough.

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 29 Jun 2018 23:16

We don't need a win. A draw is sufficient. Currently

Code: Select all

Country     P W D L GD Pts
Australia   4 3 1 0 +4 10
India       4 2 1 1 +4 7
Netherlands 4 2 0 2 +6 6
Belgium     5 1 3 1 -3 6
Argentina   4 1 1 2 -3 4
TSP         5 1 0 4 -8 3

Next Arg plays Aus and we play Ned. Bel and TSP are done. Argentina cannot make the final at all:
Ned wins = Aus-Ned final
India wins or draws = Aus-Ind final

Supratik · Post by **Supratik** » 30 Jun 2018 14:30

Both Srikanth and Sindhu have lost.

It is all Shreejas show so far 0-0 half time. Shreejas saves at least 5 goals. 2 of them were absolutely great!

nash · Post by **nash** » 30 Jun 2018 20:37

If there is no Srijesh then we would be done and dusted by now , such a lackluster passing .

Mandeep is one hopeless forward ...
