Hockey Champions Trophy has been organised since 1978. Only two times in 1983 and 1986 India managed to defeat Netherlands. So this victory after 28 years is sweet.
yes currently Argentina is very strong..so dont be surprised if they beat the weakend Australian team in the quarters..India on the other hand have the potential to beat Belgium at home..Hope it happens..fingers crossed
Belgium is one of the strongest teams in Hockey nowadays. India has a terrible record against them in recent years. Lets see. While England and Belgium are pretty seasoned teams now, Australia, Germany and Netherlands are undergoing transformation and new players are coming up.
Belgium are easily a top5 side... so it si not gonna be easier task for india who looks good for top8 side ... we can beat them but not gonna be a tough task...
When belgium india match up comes... that scary match comes to my memory where our team was leading by a goal and conceded 2 goals in what was play off match for entry to next champions trophy..
We both teams have came long way since then.... belgium are no more a "another hockey playing nation" and we got nerves to hold leads compared to those times...
