surprised to know aregetina is olympic champion in hockey. i think other south american countries don't play that much.

Ronny

It doesn't matter if other Latin Americans don't play it. Similar to us having competition only from Pakistan in South Asia

Bad

However, Pakistan isn't a competition for us in any major sport in my opinion..

2016 Olympic Games were in Rio De Janeiro, South America.

Possibly the conditions aided Argentina, another South American Team.

Conditions at Tokyo should help India - Asian Team

Afterall we won Olympic Gold Medal at Tokyo Olympics in 1964

In 2016 Olympics,  Argentina lost only 1 game and it is against India (scoreline 1-2). 
As I said earlier , we struggle to defeat Belgium & Australia and we never had tough time against Argentina.  
Also heard that, their best player is not playing due to some differences with coach.
Nevertheless, 3-0 against Argentina is always a great win. 

Ronny

Argentina may have won the Olympic gold but Belgium and Australia are any day better than them

Some teams perform better in League Games / Group Games. like India

Some Teams do better in Knock Out / Must win games. Like Belgium,Argentina

If we look at our performance, the moment we reach Quarter final or Semi Final of any tournament, must win game, we lose.

Ronny

Well back then we were not getting to play the top teams regularly at all. we were facing them directly in the Olympics and there was no way that we were going to beat them there! This time we are going in with the confidence of having beaten these teams so we know that we can do it. The result obviously can go either way but this time the team has real confidence because of their own abilities. Even the opponent teams will be wary of us!
