@express bowling we talk about pace bowling. shoaib the thrower etc. but mandeep singh has the fastest drag flick in hockey. where is the pawwar of parkies here?

 

I strongly believe that Indians can top the power chart in lots of areas if we pick players correctly and train them  scientifically.

and these are people without a proper diet even.

@Gollum - India's chances w/o Rohidas.

 

And can Rohidas play the medal match?

Difficult in defending PCs, and other teams have more potent PC takers than GBR. What should have been slight edge for us is slight disadvantage, may be 45-55 against Ger, 48-52 against Arg. But this team's fighting spirit will unsettle any opponent. 

 

Rohidas definitely out of next match. Unsure about final or bronze medal match. Don't know rules for Olympics, whether 1 or 2 games suspension. Thing is red card is super rare in tournaments (first time seeing an Indian get it), and if given in bilaterals nobody keeps track. Shall let you know whether 1 or 2 games suspension when I find out.

thats not a choke. stronger teams come back.

 

did gb choke in hockey? or ind being the superior team with superior defense just held on due to skill?
