Lack of experience cost Ireland the game. They needed a Draw but decision by their Coach to substitute their Goalkeeper with a player misfired on them. England put so much pressure on them in last couple of minutes that instead of 3-3, it became 2-4.
What is refreshing to see that unlike previous times when we used to slacken in last minutes and snatch Draw / Defeat from jaws of victory, we are raising our level in last 15 minutes. Two goals on Penalty Corners and 2 by Lalit Upadhyay , 1 Goal by Chinglansena. Our team displayed an attacking and free-flow Hockey all thru 60 minutes.
India is 1 victory away from reaching Semi-Finals after 43 years- last time we did it in 1975.
13th December 4:45 PM India vs Netherlands (Probably)
