Pakistan just beat Indonesia by 13-0.....Seems like their confidence is high after match against India.

Japan scored a goal against us in 2nd quarter.....Till now, they played better than us. I think they will win this match....they deserve this win

So we complain if they play old guys. And, now we complain if we play young guys.

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
we complain on a certain bunch, we don't complain on the entire bunch
and that's what is affecting us , this complete disregard of core players

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
Totally deserved loss.... Hockey management should take a lesson of not throwing half ripen talents into international matches
Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
We're out of the Asia Cup. Just knew that last minute goal conceded to Pakistan would be the end for us. Totally expected and more importantly, no real talent in this lot. Was hoping Vishnu Kant, Uttam and maybe 1-2 other would be good prospects
5-2 down to Japan with 4 mins left. They have improved a lot in recent times. Effectively, they play with intelligence and we are just dumb beyond belief.
Pakistan and Japan will play a nice safe draw in their final game.

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
Many players don't deserve to play international matches.....they are half rippen players....Our domestic tournament is not that strong, unlike Ranji in cricket.....So can't throw them in front of wolves so early

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
We are real idiots to send a second-rung team and ruin our global ranking by losing to Japan and drawing with Pakistan. Irresponsible beyond belief!

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
I think this tournament give us great realisation that our domestic structure is not strong enough to produce ready-to-go Players....Need to introduce some strong domestic championship other than senior national championship which is a crap.... Senior national championship has approx 30 teams including teams like Goa, bihar, tripura which keep getting 20-25 goals in a match....We need a tournament like Premium Badminton League/ pro-kabbadi etc which have strong 8-10 teams to increase competitiveness
Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
It's been obvious for at least 40 years that our domestic hockey system is rubbish. Yet, the planning is all about the top few players only and all the other issues are simply ignored.
Look at Belgium's rise. Why can't we follow their example?
Unfortunately, we are incapable or learning anything.
I've moaned long and hard about forgetting about short term gains, but get a good system that is sustainable (unlike the HIL). Stop wasting time and money on too many foreign coaches and spend wisely on improving domestic standards of players and coaches.

Re: Asia Cup 2022 men's Hockey
I have to agree with Rajiv here.
We can't complain about the seniors and ask for a junior team to be sent, and then whine when they lose.
