I think as long as you order your stuff from Canada or out of United States you should be fine.

FINAL SCORE - Argentina(3) vs Germany(1)

A derserved win for Argentina. They played better most of the game. It wasn't a spectacular game but some nice passes and individual play I've seen from both sides.

Tough luck for Germany. I think without superstars & experienced players, Germany just can't win it. They are heading out of the tournament.

Players who scored for Argentina:

  • Jorge Lombi (PC, 4th minute)

  • Mario Almanda (FG, 39th minute)

  • Jorge Lombi (PC, 57th minute)

Player who scored for Germany

  • Niklaus Meinert (FG, 65th minute)

Australia must beat India if Pakistan are to hold on to their 2nd spot. Thats if Pakistan loses to Holland tommorrow.
I am very much surprised by Germany's bad performance, I guess the inexperienced is the main reason.
If Pakistan can tie or notch up a win tomrrow, things might just look great.
Since there are no semifinals, it makes the tournament very interesting.

today Holland - Pakistan

will be an interesting match :k:

FINAL SCORE - Australia(4) vs India(1)

Whoah! Wonderful game by the Aussies. They outclassed Indians in the pace of game, defence, offense...you name it. Indians lacked the defence tactics in today's game as they had in previous two games. Indian Goalie Chuahan did try his best and cleared the ball with his pads, halmet and above all his body but there were no Indian players, who could have supported Chauhan, things might have been different. Pillay wasn't a player today as we know.

With this win, Aussies have now got the huge goal difference as they have now moved 1 spot ahead; and hauting for Gold Medal. I liked the tactics of Aussies. When they were leading by 3 goals to none, they played game most of the time on the midfield(a tactic to killed the time). Afterwards, when India scored a goal, Aussies were back into the attack, resulting fourth goal for them. In short, a good display and teamwork from the Aussies.

Players who scored for Australia

  • Grant Schubert (FG, 32nd minute)

  • Grant Schubert (FG, 44th minute)

Go Pakistan :hula:

May the best team win :hula:

(I didn’t go to the match, had to work :crying: )

So long as it is Pakistan. :smiley:

^ What a loser!

The match betwen Pakistan and Holland is under way. The following comments from one of the sites:

**Kim Sang Ryul (FIH Master Coach)

I think the winner of this match will come from the team that controls the midfield. PAK is more skillful that NED, although NED is more disciplined and stronger. Either team could win today. I think the NED fitness may be an issue, so that may play a part in the result of the game.**

00:03 A huge large of 6,000 is present for this critical match in the tournament between two form teams. 17C temperature with no wind.

Holland scores after 4 minutes. :(

damn it!
Any live commentary?
Or can anyone broadcast the match?

:hula:

I aint a loser Umair, maybe I saved my ‘day off’ for the Friday match :-p

I take it back, smart move. :k:
But if the Paki hockey team ever come to USA in a high profiled tourney, I would literally camp outside their hotel throughout the tournament.

Kim Sang Ryul (FIH Master Coach)

When PAK is in attack, NED is being distracted by the umpires. I think they have made the mistake of leaving their midfield open in the last 5 mins which has allowed PAK to push into attack. They have been lucky so far with 2 PAK corners and no goal.

12:42 Abbas flick is well gloved away by Vogels. Clearly he has done his homework. Crowd now 8,000 and very vocal in support of NED.

11:18 PAK earn their 2nd corner.

11:05 PAK have worked their way back into the game in the last 3 mins, having the ball in their attack more easily than before. NED under real pressure in defence fore the first time.
