Hockey outcome was expected today..Pakistan despite playing more aggressively were beaten by an Indian team that is now very mature,doesn't Panick and literally kills you in the second half.. Major credit goes to Roelant Oltmans
Our Hockey team is good as long as it does not face Belgium in any Knock-out match. In last 5-6 years, I have lost the count we have been trounced by Belgium.
Ture... i sometimes feel that we are the one who made belgium as a recognised power in hockey in last few years starting from that FIH event where we lost by conceding 2/3 goals in last 2-3 minutes
But we have come long way since then... we shall possibly be considered as top4 side in the world if we continue our development in the game like this
The format of this tournament is such that 4 teams of each group move to Quarter-Finals. So all Pakistan need to do is to defeat Scotland and reach QF- no matter what the result against other teams is. Lets hope India get to face China in QF.
Scotland won't be easy for Pakistan.I have seen their game,Scotland is not that bad.They can beat Pakistan.Even a draw would mean Pakistan finishes bottom as Scotland has a better goal difference.

In Doubles also, we are looking promising. However, we don't have the same depth as that of Singles.
We are improving at a very high rate.We have started to win Level 2 Tournaments in Badminton.In Singles,we win Level 1 your Tournament.
