Pakistani Hockey !

[Syed1.]

I hope useless cricket follows the same feat as hockey. Nothing to be sad about sports that were introduced by imperialists britshit empire. Its like teaching ur illegitimate kids ur rapists habits.....
Pakistan should invest in mma, shooting sports, archery, swimming, running, etc instead of crying over hockey and cricket.

Just one sport has the potential to bring much needed prestige for the country as well as enhance our soft power. It is football.


Brazil and Argentina are also third world countries but just because the entire world watches them compete in world football events these countries have so much recognition.

Inorder for pak to become football nation it needs alot of football fields which pakistan can not afford to have. Unlike cricket which is mostly played with tennis ball on streets u need to have access to proper football field with grass other wise u will not be able to practice alot of things that top football teams do.
Combat sports such as boxing wrestling etc does not require huge investment just some punching bags mats etc... every public school should have a gym and swimming pool so they have better chance of competing in different sports. Otherwise this nation will have many prego looking man with skinny arms and legs.
Im actually glad hockey is gone in pakistan so other useful sports have a chance to thrive.

What happened to Pakistani hockey team. In 80s and 90s Pakistani hockey team used to be a powerhouse.

I believe there is no dearth of talent. Then what happened ?

We can cry about lack of funding, sponsors, infrastructure bla bla bla... but the sad reality is we Desis/South asians/ brown people aren't an athletic race we would never be able to out compete whites, blacks and yellow races in most Olympic sports and thats the harsh truth. Look at the medal tally around 20% of world population lives in this region but several small tiny countries many which no one has ever heard about are ahead of us.

Indian hockey is also sadly not the power house it used to be back in the 1900s.
Hope we can secure the bronze in men's and women's hockey this Olympics.

We just did

And also now you have "self-pass" in free hits, which is very weird

Football and that too Pakistan. Impossible for the next 100 years. You guys are ranked 200/210.
India isn't any better. But we have earlier managed to break into the top 100. We will pretty soon too.
