Hockey boys deserve rest. Belgium and Australia duels on consecutive days must be so physically and mentally draining. 

[Gollum]

Jugraj ripping apart the biased umpiring. Even onfield umpire was surprised.

But you said we were trying put players mostly?

Yes, Fulton is like that only. 

[Kron]

We need 2 more wins for a bronze. 3 for silver 

 

Belgium will probably win again.

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

Want rohit to break Afridis 6 record. And then Mayank to break fastest ball record. With that I don't think they will have any other.

considering how we held up against bel and aus, don't see why we shouldn't aim for the gold.

Midfield and defence better, latter by a big margin. 

 

Offense a bit worse, PC noticeably worse.

 

Goalkeeper Sreejesh somehow seems to have improved, despite his age. 

 

But as the saying goes, attack wins you games, defence wins you championships. 

 

We can always talk about personnel like Abhishek, Jarman being breath of fresh air. But let us do that after confirming a medal.
