To answer the question on behalf of Safforn- Yes, we did send a second string side for Asia cup- none of the players of this world cup squad were there.

My prediction for tomorrow:
Argentina vs saf= 3-3
Australia vs france= 8-1
ENG vs wales= 5-1
India vs Spain = 5-2

Pretty good. What are the next predictions, Mr. Lenin?

Belgium v South Korea

Germany v Japan

New Zealand v Chile

Netherlands v Malaysia

Beating Spain 2-0 is an expected result, not a surprising one.

As I have said many times here, this is not 2008-12. We have finished in the top 4 in every CT or Hockey League since 2016 (including the finals loss in the shootout against Australia in Breda that I watched in person) and also finally won a bronze in Tokyo. At worst, we are the 5th best team amongst the men.

Good job winning comfortably 2-0 against Spain in a wonderful new stadium. We need to beat England, and thrash Wales, to keep the momentum going.

[Rajiv]

Good start by the men in Blue, should have won with a bigger margin, but in the end didn't concede any goals which was important.

Am in Madrid now and surprised to see the intrest shown by the Spanish who are following this WC closely and the people I talk too are aware about it and the match which was beamed live ,like me there were avid watchers at the restaurant.

[Saffron Lenin]

I think India will win, provided Harmanpreet is in good form

[srini]

Conceding too many PCs in Q1.. not looking good

[Saffron Lenin]

A lot of error by aakashdeep

[sameerph]

0-0 at halftime with England looking slightly the better team. We came back well in last 5-10 mins before half time but English defence was very good.

[sameerph]

Still 0-0 after Q3. Chances for both sides but nobody able to convert.
