As I said earlier this is the greatest Indian defensive unit of all time. They proved it to the world today. 

 

For every one Viren, there were 10 hockey experts saying that was yellow. Even onfield umpire said if it is intentional we'll give yellow. Then 3rd umpire German said no, give red. Hope Germany meet us in the SF, we'll respond there. 

But now withour our best defender no?

 

Reckon we got a capable replacement?

What a win! Penalties in hockey so difficult to convert. Sreejesh is the real WALL of India!

You mean difficult to stop right? It's easy to convert 

[Lone Wolf]

King sh*t

[Sandz]

What a win! 
 

Nobody gave them a chance after red card!

[Gollum]

Nobody gives red card in KOs of these big tourneys. 

 

Dutch players were kicking Spaniards in their chests in 2010 FIFA WC F, max got yellow. Refs don't ruin knockouts by handing cards like candies. 

 

What Amit did was careless but red card seriously? * off. Btw in dying minutes yesterday an Aussie guy pushed Harman the way Manpreet did in Tokyo SF....Manpreet got yellow there, no card for Aussie. There is no consistency.

Can be replaced no? Or do we play with 10 again?

We can play with 11, but the question is can Rohidas be part of it?

[neel roy]

This is why i hate british media. Instead of talking about other players they are talking about another gora fulton. I know he is good but he didn’t play fgs

Sreejesh has proven why he is the world's best goalkeeper. He was outstanding for his side today. He earned them their place in the semi-final.

I think, had it been 11 players on 11 players, it would have been a really open game. I think we would have seen both teams going at each other with more chances and space.

Craig Fulton deserves a lot of credit because, after the red card, he went and set them up in a really excellent, tight manner.

It was a yellow, I saw the replay just now. That was not intentional at all.

 

That referee was an idiot to give red card.

[Real McCoy]

good luck Lakshya beat this viking

No. We will be weakened. Doesn't matter, we will fight like today. Pray for our boys, Indian hockey team must play the Olympic final after 44 years.

Yeah..I checked the scores..interestingly,no one is mentioning her loss on any jio channel and rightly so .this game was THE high that we needed. Just want Lakshya to give his best. I'm prepared for the worst but this Hockey win is just amazing. Sreejesh saved so many goals.
