Hockey World Cup

For some houses, they just let them burn...

Harbhajan Singe?

india is already out of the world cup. hopefully cricket will come back on the sports front pages once again

india should just give up on hockey

After a long time I saw full stadiums or a hockey match. I was hoping finally it was a start.....

All the stupid politics and stand offs before the Cup was bound to have this result. Idiots!

As should the SAffies. Smashed 12-0 [snigger] by the Aussies just now.

Lucky Aussie qunts.

There is an unconfirmed report here that Bucknor umped the game.

Cheating racist bastard.

Went to watch yesterday. Noticed two things -

1. Whatever be the issue, Pakistan do get support when they don't play us.

2. Indian men are the horniest group of people in the whole world.

The problem is, the Indian team isn't all that good.

Well, gayest post ever. WTF were you thinking posting this, dori? It's a Men's Hockey World Cup.

Pakistan are almost out as well...

3 late goals cost them big.

Surprised at how good England are these days

Don't be.
There's a shed load of serious hockey played over here ... Slough (about 10 miles away) have at least 30 very good teams in and around the area from which England have picked the majority of their squad.
A strong Indian influence from past years and a renewed enthusiasm from the local youth who prefer the game to footie.
Artificial surfaces have also made the playing of the game in all kinda weather conditions - which helps.

thats been our problem. i read somewhere that some suburbs of amsterdam have more astro-turfs than all of india. ever since the game switched from grass to astro its been a long, steady slide for india. hardly anyone sees an astro-turf until they reach national level hockey

Artifical surfaces at the international level totally killed hockey in India while Pakistan also started to go down hill after the 1994 WC win.
