Hockey World Cup

[doremi]

India playing Pakistan in the opener. 3-0 up at the moment.

[doremi]

Sohail Abbas hit 2 at the crossbar.

[doremi]

And now 4-0.

Nice.

[PlanetPakistan]

i thought Pakistan were a better team than India these days

guess its a world cup game against india so we have to lose

[doremi]

I think that doesn't apply in Hockey. More a case of home support and some excellent play. Anyways 4-1 up now.

[doremi]

And it finishes 4-1. Great start to the campaign for India.

Watching a hockey game after a long time.

I'm shocked at the athleticism and speed of the game these days, even though neither India nor Pakistan are, AFAIK, currently dominating world hockey.

[doremi]

Spain beat SAf 4-2 and Endland upset Aus 3-2

[PlanetPakistan]

I am sure Pak will beat India in the 11th/12th place playoff game.

[doremi]

Phurt.

Great results and beginning for India. To me the surprise was the England result. Quite an upset of the applecart there.....

Not that I'm a great Hockey fan, but England 3 Australia 2 is always worth a mention.

[Shoeshine]

Especially when you don't even realise a World Cup is going on until it happens.

[SG]

Netherlands defeated Argentina 3-0.

India would face Aus today. Key match for us. If we win it we might be one of the favorites to make it to the next stage.

Match will start at 2035 IST.

Not that I'm a great Hockey fan, but England 3 Australia 2 is always worth a mention.

especially as it ended a 34 year drought for the Pomgolians
