this time the behaviour of Pakistan was not acceptable..even Sardar Singh accepts the deafeat but not the behaviour of Pakistani players towards children and families present in the crowd..unacceptable
India lost 2-1 to Australia to finish 4th in Champions trophy. Germany is the champions while Pakistan finish 2nd. This is 7th time India finish 4th. Only time India won medal was in 1982 3rd place.
Did you guys watched the finals?? the home crowd might have made german team feel like they are playing at germany... made it hell for pakistan... it was also great to see most of crowd staying at watching the finals...
German team acknowledged the crowd with their way which was nice to see too...
Hopefully HIL brings more fan base to game and also HI starts organising such tournaments in places like orrissa and other places where hockey has been famous
Pakistan Media Going gaga over hockey Controversy ..
The ISL was one of the reasons the AIFF was keen on delaying the launch of the SAFF Club Championship, a tournament that was supposed to be launched in 2010 but the lack of Indian support has meant it is yet to start.
Showing their power again?
“I intend to launch it in 2015 with or without India,” SAFF president Kazi Salahuddin told Dawn last month.
After the launch of the ISL FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, who famously dubbed India as the ‘sleeping giants’ of world football, said: “This [India] is another market for football, not a financial market, but another market to grow our sport.”
Thank God the financial aspect doesn’t concern FIFA. Thank God India remains a ‘sleeping giant.
Otherwise, football like other sports would become India’s moneyball.
