I dont think we are going to get any.

 

It's Neeraj or bust. Don't think we'll get Gold in hockey. Even if players perform beyond their capability, you can count on referees ensuring we don't win.

Looks like we will be well short of the Tokyo tally, so much for all the hype and claims of improvement.

So do we play Germany in SF?

[Ultimate_Game]

And anyone knows when is the 4x400m relay Final? I liked the Indian team. They won't win the medal but would like to see them in the final.

[I6MTW]

I'd rather we face Argentina than Germany. Argentina is more beatable. 

[New guy]

So much more exciting than cricket.

He will get a silver or bronze this time. We will end up with 5 bronze in total. Nothing else.

German tv umpire overturned onfield umpire's yellow card suggestion and gave us the red card. You now know why.

My Ukrainian crush has won the Gold in women's high jump... 3 years after Bronze at just 18

The big boys are gearing up.. Not long for the 100m finals

[Gollum]

I blame boxing federation for costing us couple of medals. 

 

Wrestling not optimistic but let's see.

[Gollum]

Unless Mirabai's coach is lying about her progress, fitness, we have another bronze medal chance in weightlifting. 2 of her main rivals are out, presumably dopers.

[Number]

Argentina looked much more threatening and their playing style was something that could trouble  us more i.e. fast pace movements.

On the other hand Germans PC conversion rate is quite scary. 4/12

It's a given that we'll end up with the short end of stick regarding umpiring decisions. That's been happening for a while now. It's worse now as we're the only decent non-white/Brown team. That's why don't see us winning any tourney ever. No matter how good you are, refs hold too much power.

 

It's not like Javelin or athletics where things are white or black. In Hockey refs can make whatever calls they want to and justify it whichever they want to.
