well Lucky u’ve the Pakistan version of Ten Sports because we’ve to watch the Pak vs. Ind Series on ARY Mid-East which’ll make a mess of editing of the match regarding the ads between the Overs … **it’ll turn out be 3 or 4 balls per Over between ads ** :mad: :mad: :mad:

I will be watching it on sky sports, dont you get sky sports?

Commentators rightly said that Pakistan seem to be the best side in thie tournament alongwith Netherlands. Our defence line is for once is very compact and every team gives away goals at some point but Sohail has remarkably improved as a player. We all know how devestating is he with his flicks but people used to criticize him as a defender, but he is now as calm a defender as one can hope for. In the match against India, he won the ball out of three indian forwards so easily. :k: Another one is Ghazanfar, he made two really good runs today as well. The only worry for me is too much reliance on Sohail. Our forward line ie more than capable of scoring themselves but soemtimes they unneceserrily try to win corners.

But things are rosey for Pakistan under this coach. :jhanda: One collest thing he doesnt have a First eleven means he never plays with the same team in two consectuive matches. It lets the bench people know that they are part of the plan and keep them motivated.

Please Nooooooooooooooo...
I dont wana see another India vs Pak match. Its overdose now.

Pakistan Equalizes through Shakil Abbasi. :k: Good field Goal…

its 1-1 with 5 minutes remaining in the first half.

Lol@ f & b.

Ahmad Alam has saved two certain goals, great goal keeping.

First half score 1-1

Its 2:1 now

ESP:2
PAK:1

but good thing is that Pakistan is on attack (infact they missed 2 chances in last 2 minutes)

And Pakistan Equalizes in 68th minute :hula:

its 2-2

67:03 Herrera saved 4 shots in a row after some skillful hockey from the PAK forwards. Great goalkeeping.

66:03 PAK almost score with the ball hitting the post off a deflected free hit outside the circle!

63:59 Still end to end hockey. Only great defence is saving each team from conceding a goal at the moment. Amazing game of hockey on display.

62:01 End to end hockey at present with both teams having chances deep in attack. One senses that the next corner could be the significant goal.

58:35 PAK starting to work back into the game but a long way to go before they can match the ESP control over the game at present.


comeone guys...we still have 4 minutes......get past the poll!
