If only India played the game like they played last 5 mins, we would have won

For consolation, we might win the bronze medal match vs Spain (who are a weak team).   But what weightage bronze has?  The ranking remains almost the same with bronze.  

Bronze does nothing for our standings..

 

But getting a medal in hockey is always welcome when you see the competition is so tight

[Ultimate_Game]

That last shot, at least hit it at the goal. Let the goalie make the save but hit it on the target. What a poor miss.

 

Same old story... played great, were the better team for the most part, but lost the match.

I don't think hasina is popular. Even on social.media they hate her. USA has enough on their plat. This should be least of their concerns. We are reading too much into this issue. 

Don't go by sm.

come on.... kind of dominated most of the 1st and some of the second half. it happens.

Yeah most of the time they were just defending like a man down.

Have they forgotten, you can score goals from the field too, they just don't have to depend on PCs.

They played for Shootout when it was 2-2...  Passive strategy 

[saransh]

Man this really hurts a lot. More than CWC 2023 final loss!

[vvvslaxman]

Didn't watch it. But I can  take a guess. They probably wanted to hold on to  the stalemate position.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, for India. 

 

We don't have the winners mentality, not do we have the physique or stamina. Indians are a weak race. Say what you want about Umpiring, but, the way India played in the 4th quarter doesn't deserve even a bronze medal. So timid, not able to hold on to possesion, no penetration in the D. 

So many PC missed. Germany converted almost all of theirs

USA through to final of women's soccer. 1 goal in extra time. Sophia Smith the star.

 

 

 

No one cares about women's soccer.

[Gollum]

More circle penetrations, more PCs, despite the refs. Better team India.

 

You guys should stop self loathing and talk about justice.

So my guess is right. It is the standard thinking for Indians

[putrevus]

Last match I can understand , they were defensive as they were one man short.

 

Today last 15 mintues they were playing for draw rather than attacking them.

Inferiority complex shining through with your statements on race.

We are an inferior sporting race. Inferior in terms of physical and mental strength, bar a few exceptions here and there.

Actually it was a nail biter. Good game. They have big projector in the office showing it. 

[Gollum]

You guys pretending as if you don't want bronze. 

 

We'll see day after.

We would if we had a medal chance there.

Rasquinha saying penalty stroke was a wrong call. And that Germans enjoyed Rohidas' absence.

This English coach is too defensive. We need to play a bit attacking too, only depending on PCs won't win us many matches. Need to get field goals like Germans did to get ahead.
