Nothing to say, only STUNNING Performance by Indian Hockey team If Indian Hockey team keep on performing like Asia Cup, then shortly indians will start watching only hockey than cricket
While the absence of Sandeep Singh and Jugraj singh was certainly missed as India don't have any penalty cprner specailist who has the power od scooping the ball at a blistering pace.Ray of hope was seen with the emergence of Jugraj and later Sandeep . However accident and injury took tol on thier performance and they are not visible nowadays. Does anybody has any information about them along with Gagan Ajit Singh ?

Congratulations to Indian hockey team,Great cordination & performance. Keep it up our best wishes with you
I have just scrolled through some of the messages sent.Some of them feel india would suffer against aus,ned,ger and spain.If india plays the way they play they can beat aus and spain.Defeating ger and ned is a different proposition not bcause they are invincible but because of other factors.Beating them would depend on the venue and the umpires.If it is a europian venue india will find it difficuilt as most of the decisions are unfavorable.Added to this is FIH's own contributions.As most of the comitee members belong to nedor other european countries they change and frame rule to their convenience.One such example was the penalty corner rule wherein a player can be substituted during a penalty corner.So their drag flicker remains seated in the bench until he was called for.Once non eurupean countries stated to take advantage of this rule it was removed.of course we havent been playing well but these things like umpiring and rules could affect the rhythm of even a good side.Even 10 years back we had a superb team.Ind and Pk used to be in top 4 but never in 1 and 2.These things has always prevented them to come up

My dearest players, you made each and every one of us (Indians) proud. We need to maintain this momentum. You are the blessed and the skilled ones. Keep up the show and keep us on the top. Eye the world cup and other top honours as well. Let us get back to our golden years. Let us be the number 1. Congratulations. Best regards, Anil Thomas
