For real hockey is really fun to watch. If it wasn't for timings I would watch it more often. 

 

This was a great game. Somehow feel it's too shot hahaha.

 

15 min quarters. 

They stop clock unlike football. Effectively 70 min game.

Not at all...it's a decent result 

[Gollum]

The shooting 4th still hurts. Hope we win mixed event bronze tomorrow.

We have Australia and Belgium in our group so could be tricky. Its a tight group.

 

How it shapes for KOs matchups..tbh im not really well versed with other teams strengths so @Gollum can answer this better

[Gollum]

Arg is no pushover. They were similarly ranked before Rio but won gold, best defence in this competition.

Other group has gone crazy except Dutch.

 

RSA drew GBR

ESP beat GER

 

Just qualify and finish in top 3 to avoid Dutch. Good thing is no Aus/Bel in QF. 

 

Long, long way to go.

Sirji 4 teams qualify from either group... before tournament, most Indian fans would have taken these 2 results.

Hey man what channel? Da FAQ lol. I am missing out. 

[Gollum]

Arg too is a medal contender. Same tier as Ind, GBR.

 

Need a comfy win against Irish next game.

We are quick to deride mental weakness of our players.

 

Today we took out GK with 5 min left, equalized in 58th min. Appreciate the mental toughness on display.

Hahaha

[Gollum]

Even Aus, Bel, Neth etc. take out GK only with 2 min left. What we did was gutsy.
