Second half was good but we missed on a lot of Penalty corners. Hopefully it won't be repeated in the coming matches.

Yes, the chance of making it to last 4 is over. Now to beat England with big goal difference is Himalayan task. And with the Australian Juggernaut rolling on,expect another firework display with Pakistan and they would sure build up their GD further, making our chance even bleaker.
The better part is definitely the Audience. The support. The frenzy and fervor. Fantastic. I think with this kind of support our Hocket team wil go only upwards. Truly heartening.

Well, by far the best match so far. Though, lost, Indian team played like fighters. Good going. If we continue improving the same way, we sure can regain the lost glory. Conversions are still lacking. What we need is more study of the opponent team's keeper's weaknesses and the conversion technique must change accordingly. Drag-flick always doesn't work and it was proven more than once to India and Pakistan.
I hope we get a consolation win over SA today. The way they beat Pakistan, India has to play its full steam to beat SA.
Good Luck India.
