Archery SF: India vs Korea

Just about in 30 min.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Gollum]

Group B

[edit]

 

Pos	Team	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts	Qualification
1	Belgium (A)	4	4	0	0	12	4	+8	12	Advance to Quarter-finals
2	India (A)	5	3	1	1	10	7	+3	10
3	Australia (A)	5	3	0	2	12	10	+2	9
4	Argentina (A)	4	2	1	1	5	3	+2	7
5	Ireland (E)	4	0	0	4	2	8	−6	0
6	New Zealand (E)	4	0	0	4	3	12	−9	0

 

 

Belgium assured of first place in our group. They may take it easy against Arg, in which case Arg can leapfrog us to 2nd. 

 

Bel tend to conserve energy, peak in KOs. So don't rule out the possibility of them tanking. 

[deepdynamo]

So happy with the clutchness of our Hockey guys...

 

Everyone here were fearing of routs against Belgium and Australia and look what happened.

This result also ensures we will finish at second place so high chance we play GB or Spain.

 

But with this kind of hockey, we should fear none....

 

Just bring them on.

The clutch est of them all is Sreejith the goalie 

How can I forget him. I mean he is automatically Included. You should just assume he is there. He is a beast. I would say the Belgium keeper and Argentina keeper are equal to him as well.

Should we tank and finish 4th? Cause Germany looks very beatable. Unless they dot he classic gora cheating.

I never feared round. I know for a fact we have plenty of athletic strong guys. It's just mental for us. 

 

Mental conditioning.

We had a goal disallowd. 

 

When the * are Asian sides ever going to be treated fairly??

How can we expect medals when they are openly against Asians lol. 

 

Blatant *int cheating. * this ref. 

 

Not just this. Many other sports. 

Cricket faced the same issue with Imperial Cricket Council. That's why I like when we give it back to the goras.

It is and we don't have our best female archer, Bhajan, with us.

 

So, Ankita will most probably mess it up somewhere so we are total underdog here.

 

Its like India vs Zim.

That’s only in boxing and maybe wrestling 

In Wrestling if you lose in the semis you have to win the repechange round to medal.

 

The losers to the eventual finalists battle out amongst themselves for a bronze. There are 2 bronzes for an event.

[Lone Wolf]

Hockey team needs more support.  Far more competitive and prestigious compared to Cricket globally.

Never imagined we will beat Aussies. We had not done that for 60 years in Olympics. What happened today is a big achievement.

It's a crime to score 8's against Koreans which is what we do more often... I guess we need a miracle of the millennium to stand a chance
