Pakistan coach Shahnaz Shiekh, who had apologized on behalf of the team on Saturday, went back on his words and said that it was the fans who instigated the players.

"The players will not apologize, the incident happened in the heat of the moment," Sheikh said on Sunday.

The International Hockey Federation said that there would be no further action against Pakistani players after their coach tendered an apology for wild celebrations.

Indian captain Sardar Singh and high performance director Roelant Oltmans had condemned the way the Pakistan players' behaviour after their win.

Sardar said, "They should not have celebrated in such a way. There were families inside the stadium and they shouldn't have taken off their shirts. Even after winning the match against Pakistan in the Asian Games, we didn't celebrate in this fashion."

"I didn't see too much of the Pakistan players but it was a bit too much," said Oltman

India is reacting as a "bad wife". Its a very big country with a very tiny attitude! Its also understandable that how unmanageable it would be for India to receive a defeat in India. Would India had shown same nechi soch if they had defeated Pakistan and Indian players had done that?

When you know a child is reacting bad, you leave it for few cries cause he probably needs those to feel better.

This nation's gone mad on Pakistan's victory.

Pakistan accepts defeats with big heart unlike Mahaaaaaan (narrow minded) India...
