This hockey team has so many holes . They have no offense, hope they find players who can score goals from field and not just depend on PCs and GK to gave their behind.

They need better PC conversion too

@Gollum Sreejesh second greatest Indian Hockey player ever?

He deserves some Padma award/Khel Ratna or whatever.

[Gollum]

Last time we won back to back hockey medals was over 5 decades ago.

 

People like me remember the humiliation of 2000s, missing Beijing cut, last place in London. 

 

Some of you watch once in 4 years and behave like complaining aunties, undermining such a tough won medal against all odds.

 

13 Olympic medals in one team sport.

Spain add another 4th place Copper medal

Race walking pair is one of the few they have won. Alcaraz expected gold didn't come.

He won it in 2021 already. Deserves a Padma Bhushan at minimum. Better than all those actors they give it to.

[ganeshran]

They should count Hockey for 11 medals.

They should have beaten Germany in SF. Germany was not that great in SF.

 

I have not watched any Netherlands matches so cannot comment on them.

 

They should have ended with Silver, Bronze is such a poor consolation.
