In hockey i thought finishing 1st we would have played Spain that was advantageous...2,3 and 4 finish is probably the same. Infact 2nd is disadvantageous coz u play the Dutch in QF....

 

I think we should finish 4th n play germany. That's least dangerous.

GBR vs Germany today. And Dutch take on Spain. 

 

Think Dutch will take 2nd spot, GBR 3rd.

 

Aus vs Ind, Bel vs Arg. Many permutations, combinations possible.

spain/china

I want spain. Spain has choked in 11 events. Finished 4th @Gollum. Choker versus choker match would choke us all

[Gollum]

Imagine the UNO reverse if archers go on to win 2 medals.

Knowing our luck, law of averages will catch up with them and they'll shoot only 10s.

1 thing is Clear we won't play spain...

What is your order of preference for QF easiest to toughest?  Mine is Germany, then GBR, the last Dutch.

I m happy we are in same group as Australia. Imagine being in other group with a chance of facing them in quarters. They would have pulped us taking revenge for t20 wc cricket as well.

Against India even shooting 9 is enough

GBR, Germany, Dutch.

 

Germany still has big match pedigree, will prefer GBR even if we match well against Germans. Dutch will be the toughest, as tough as Bel, Aus.

Both them and Bel.

 

Bel beat us comfortably in Rio QF, Tokyo SF.

Basically bel aus Germany Netherlands are prime teams. We somehow beat Germany in Tokyo to win bronze.

We have beaten Germans a few times in last 10 years, in big competitions as well. Out of those 4 teams, I prefer Ger. But for some reason Aus do really bad against Ger, and Bel lost last WC final to Ger despite being 2 goals up.

 

But your point stands. Ind, GBR/Eng, Arg fight for 5th spot. After that come Spain, NZ, Japan. A tier below that will be Malaysia, South Korea, France, RSA.

No resting. They ll start later.

Currently Pak will find it tough to break into top 15 in hockey. Even 20. Forget GBR/Eng, they lost to Wales a few times in recent years. They are around China's level.
