its a good news. we all r congratulating them. now, we all r expecting the same results whn this team bcom senior. but, nobody here is thinking of their livelihood expenses. in india, thr is no money n scope in sports. no support frm media or public.. in this scenario, they not only have to think of their game but to think of their future livelihood too.. this is the reason we r behind in sports.. if our govt assure that they will not b having any financial prob and then they can only concentrate on their sports and bring laurels to nation.. but who cares.. govt dont invest money, until public is interested in sports.. and public get interest in those things only that media shows.. and media is only interested in trps.. so, no hopes for india in near future..
For me, we won the title the day we screwed Pakistan !! India vs Pakistan, any sport, is a treat to watch and I am sure, for India, beating Pakistan was like winning te title. :)
At Least India Won Junior Hockey Asia Cup means Young talent is coming up in India. It is a shame that such a big countries like our has no presence in the sporting Erena of the world .

We were on top of the world in hockey when only a few selected countries played hockey.
We are in the middle of cricket rankings when only 7 countries play the game. This is the state of Indian Sports. How many people think we will win any Olympic medal in Athletics or any other event?

by calling each other moron, we will not bcom champion. we have to accept the truth that we indians r lazy people and good for only sluggish sports cricket.
We seem to compete well in junior but lose frequently at the senior level. How come other countries overtake us in just 2-3 years when these players become seniors? Pak, China, Korea are in Olympics, we are not.
This does not sound right! I hope Indians are NOT fielding over-age players as alleged. Congrats to the Team.
In Hockey we won Asia Cup in Cricket we lost, so these players should get paid well, and get better attention from media coverage, Cricket is a lost deal, they go for money, greedy BCCI sucks like bugs

BCCI has become too autocratic. Now they banned Indian players who wanted to play with English counties because those counties have ICL players on their teams. Shame on BCCI.
Anyway, only reason we are ranked number 3-4 in cricket is because only 7 countries play it seriously

only 7 countries plays test cricket? and we are the 3-4 place? what a shame, and our media does keep pages and pages for coverage for this cricket. we are doing much better with football!!
First of all congratulations to the Indian team. Welldone and keep it up. Excellent performance.
We must translate the results into senior level. It can be done by nurturing,developing, coaching and managing this team (and other players,both senior and junior) in a professional, planned and a well coordinated manner. This is where Ric Charlesworth would have been very immensely beneficial. That is lost opportunity, and looking to the future a foreign coach/manager/professional who understands the modern game is needed. We owe it these youngsters to bring the best in them and do not want what happened to Deepak Thakur, Gaganajit, Kanwalpreet and others. There is no quick fix here and for instance when a player is not playing well, he needs support/help/uplifting and so forth. It will take time to build a senior side, but there has to the will, determination, accept change, accountability, and the right resources. Let us hope that happens.
Congratulation!!! and my best wishes for the future. Keep the Indian flag flying high.
I have gone throygh many messages reagrding fielding of over aged players. I don't know how far is that truw. But if so who is to be blamed for this? Players or Federations?. Our sports federations in Indian r become like political parties. Gone are the days where selections were done purely on performance. Now it's all GREASING..........OF.......--------
