CONGRATS PAKISTAN. Great win and good chance for place in Semi final. and Well played South Africa

 

[Kambojaric]

Mubarak everybody

 

[Safriz]

Pakistan HAS to beat Australia for semifinals

What a match. I'd almost given up hope with 7 minutes left, the ref seemingly favouring them and us looking lethargic and downbeat. But we came back in style. Led by the captain too. His goal gave the whole team a boost

was this a basket ball match? since the abolition of off-side rule, the goals come thick and fast in the game and its a very fast game.
I missed the match because I was busy.
brother specially called me when score was 3-3 to watch it but I couldnt

The game could have easily been Pakistan 7, S. Africa 4, a few critical missed opportunities caused the game to be this close.

True, the two penalty corners we missed. Should have scored of both of them, especially the second one where Shafqat, I think, hardly got any power behind the shot

 

[forcetrip]

Amazing game.. Looked outclassed yet again, but fought back like tigers. Hands down one of the best matches I have seen.

 

[Kambojaric]

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!

First 3 goals in 5 minutes for pak, and now, 2 quickfire goals again!!!

BTW, that ref was blind??? the ball was going into the empty goal and that south african had his foot in the way. Africans also put some last ditch blokcs in the way! But we won!!!

So, whats next? Can pak still qualify?

Yes Pakistan is on equal points with Australia and GB, on 7 points. However the goal difference is in GB and especially in Australias favour. Australia are now playing GB in a short while. Hopefully Australia will win heavily bringing down GB's goal difference. Then Pakistan need to win over Austrlia somehow.

Alternatively, if Australia win over GB and then draw with Pakistan, and GB following their Australa game lose to Spain, then Pakistan goes through as well.

Australia 7 , GD: 11
Great Britain 7 GD: 6
Pakistan 7 GD: 0
Spain 4 GD: -4
Argentina 1
South Africa 1

On a slightly humorous note, looks like the Saffers choke in hockey too

 

[Kambojaric]

^ Anti depressants must be heavily available in South Africa. I wouuld be crying all the time considering how often they "choke".

 

[Jango]

We need a draw with the Aussies to get into top 4???

BTW aaj to webbie ko bhi maza a gaya!!

Is there a chance that GB lose to Spain?? How good a team is Spain and GB?

Lets see how Spain does against Argentina today (considering Argentina tied with Australia 2-2), and let's see how the Australia vs Britain match plays out to give us a clearer picture.

If I had to decide now I would say Britain is the better team vs Spain.
