Argentina result evens out Germany result.With this result,we are almost certain to qualify for Quarters.Still we should win against Canada.We dominated the match for 3 quarters and seemed to be in cruise control 2-0 up but nervy last quarter almost let a 2 goal lead.We can't afford this.
I am still not convinced by Uthappa and Surender's inclusion.They are really poor.
ATANU IS really good.Across both matches,his lowest score was 8,that too just once,rest all 9's and 10's.He could be a dark Horse.He is everything,our Women's Archery Team isn't.
Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.
8:06 PM - 8 Aug 2016 I remember that at the time of the 1992 Olympics, fed up of the performance of the Indian contingent, some of us had created a pastiche of a popular Hindi song from the film 'Jaan Tere Nam' First round jeeta toh kafi ho gaya Second round kuch jyada ho gaya Ye akkha India janta hai Ji jaan se khelta hain (Winning the first round is enough The second round is a bit too much The whole of India knows this They give their best in the Olympics) The original song begins like this
Atanu Das will now face South Korean Lee Seung-yun in Round of 16 on 12th August 5:43 PM IST. Lee Seung-Yun has already won Gold Medal in Team Event.in 2016 Olympics.
Spain is the surprise package in the Group A. They have won all 3 of their encounters including one against Australia!. So ideally we should look to avoid Spain
Vikas Krishan next bout will be against Onder Sipal of Turkey on 12th August. Boxing is so competitive in this Olympics with complicated Qualification and entry of Professionals that winning one Bout is equivalent of winning Gold Medal at Commonwealth Games or Asian Games.

First round jeeta toh kafi ho gaya
Second round kuch jyada ho gaya
Ye akkha India janta hai
Ji jaan se khelta hain
(Winning the first round is enough
The second round is a bit too much
The whole of India knows this
They give their best in the Olympics)
The original song begins like this
First time dekha tumhein hum kho gaya
Second time mein love ho gaya
Ye akkha India janta hai
Hum tum pe marta hai
