India looked a distant shadow of what they were in the first half as the physically tougher Kiwis came hard on the Indian goal post.

Interesting choice of words by the journalist

Where do they find these journalists?

The article is full of grammatical and usage errors. Since when does a narrow 3-2 win equate to "trounced"?

The goalposts better be sanitized before the next match!

ok so we proved to be just one match wonder and lost to Germany 2-1 to miss out on Final.

Usual rubbish result just when it matters.
Usual excuses about PCs & umpiring.

I expect we will lose to Australia in the 3/4th place play off....simply because we ALWAYS lose to Aussie teams.
Bad day all round for both U21 men & women today.

India beat Australia 3-2 to take the third place while Germany beat New Zeland 3-2 in the final.
