Today was the match but i m googling it but media bitches didnt cover the result i assume....prob. Tommorow we wil know the result...there is no telecast bcoz its practice match
Yeah Media is busy with IPL and WC Football. Kyosera Stadion at The Hague will be the main venue for Hockey WC. Interesting thing is that this stadium is used for both Football as well as Hockey. I wonder what type of turf permits both Hockey as well as Football? Will it be Green colour again as nowadays Hockey has moved to Blue Turf.
This time there is least expectation from India Team at World Cup. Lets see if they can do better then 2010 position 8th place. We need to defeat atleast Spain and Malaysia. This time for classification games, it is straightforward system. 6 teams in two groups. If you are 5th in the group, you will play 5th placed team from other group for 9th and 10th position. Only one game for classification places between 5th and 12th.
