Amazing win by Pakistan. Really pleased to see both sub continental teams beating Holland. Lets hope for more of the same in the future.

Poms are out! Germany will play Australia in one semi and Pakistan awaits Belgium or India. Group form has been turned upside down. Both 4th placed teams beat the group winners. It's all about peaking at the right time.

It is 2-2 at half time. Good comeback by us from 0-2 down. Keep up the momentum, guys.

A mad scramble in the opponents' 'D' resulted in a goal for India to lead 3-2 at the business end of Q3..... Can they keep the lead?

At the end of quarter 3, India up 3-2. Narrowly missed a chance to make it 4-2 one minute before the end of that quarter.

Unbelievable day for Asian hockey!!
Didn't expect this after the first 2 matches. So happy. This has been the best year for Indian hockey since 2003! Well done to all the players and coaches.....but still wish Walsh was still in charge

What skill and dexterity on display today! Old-fashioned stick skills in abundance, plus sensible play when in the lead. Totally dominant display: I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing!!

Wow, what a great game! Coming back after trailing 0-2! Pressing and Teamchemistry looked great. We have realistic chances to make it to the finals of the Champions trophy. Awesome! Just think where indian hockey was two years ago after London 2012.
But let's not forget Terry Walsh. He is the reason for this development. I hope he will be back somehow.
