Spain remember was a world champion and was unbeatable for few years if i m not wrong 

Not world champions. They were third best for a while in late 80s and then mid 2000s. Similar to South Korea.

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.

What a fall from grace. Sohail abbas what a wizard he was. They won 1992 bronze beating Netherlands. India didnt win a single medal in seoul 1988 n barcelona 1992. I think we finished 4th in some event in 1992.

Manu going bang bang

[Gollum]

Wtf, Cuban girl beat our judo girl in under 2 seconds. @Kron you saw that? All the training, going to Olympics, and getting knocked out before people took their seats.

 

Apart from wrestling, boxing, we are zero in combat sports.

Felt like match got over before it began. Commentators couldn't believe it, must be shortest bout ever.

Tonight Toor in action. I guess I have bigged him up more than enough on ICF.

Bhaker doing some dhakar shooting.

Spain leading Dutch 2-1 in hockey. As I said, that group has gone batshit crazy, kuch bhi chal raha hai wahaan.

 

Our group has had logical results thus far.

Yes I am ready.

 

The guy said he is fit and raring n I think he also said he has thrown 22m during training.

If both Esha and Manu qualify, our chances of a medal increases.
