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

India would have won this hands down with Rohidas's presence. Hope the f*ing Germans lose the final. Hope Netherlands bury them

Bronze is not a consolation in hockey.

[Frustrated]

What is the worst case scenario for Neeraj Chopra?  A silver, I guess.  Pls don't tell me Bronze. 

[Vickydev]

A good race for the 1500m if anyone was following.. USA won from no where

Watching refereeing in Hockey makes me want BCCI to ensure we place our umpires in cricket and force them to give line decisions in our favor.

 

These matches make you want BCCI to do whatever it takes to p*ss off English, Aussies and Kiwis.

Spain isn't as good as Dutch or Germany right? Then bronze is almost confirmed

 

Nothing is confirmed. Refs are gonna be goras. For India it's not just the opponents but the refs too.

Be prepared for anything. Root for this and leave it at that

[Gollum]

Last time's gold/silver medalists out.

 

Too many things against us since the KOs began. Don't think we can fight day in, day out with handicaps,, with these gora refs.

 

If we lose against Spain I will blame the team.

 

Otherwise I maintain that we were robbed.

 

Tokyo we didn't deserve to play the final. Here we did.

Id he throws to his potential, he will win gold since he showed great form in qualifying round, he was best across both the groups. If he has a bad day, then won’t win any medal by throwing weird. I think he will win Gold. Jai Hind.

There has to be a limit right?

 

Imagine we get 2-3 calls against us in cricket every single game till the end of time? 

 

We do there as well. How many umpire's calls we've seen go against us in cricket as well. Remember the 2019 WC where the Kohli LBW was umpire's call, and then Labuchagne LBW decision in 2023 WC was again an umpire's call which went against us.

[Sgattick10]

But all said and done we are the only non gora side to reach semis back to back in Olympic hockey. Not bad, just need to get better and cross that hurdle. C'mon boys chin up and win the bronze.

2 things 

1. After equalising 2-2 we went on the defensive. That was not good.

2. 3rd umpire blatantly cheating. Giving advantage, then PC.

 

Both factors were working simultaneously....it was too stressful to watch.

Refs have always been like that against India. I hope this game gets some popularity in India soon.

WC 2023 final, Smith was not out, so balances out. 

 

But yeah get the point, NZ were saved so many times by marginal call in the WTC final.

Yes,the MC haraam ke jane will try their best to deny India.These gandi naali ke gande keede awarded a PC for dangerous play when the ball hit the german player who was trying to hit the same ball towards the goal. Cheaters...mkl
