Australia vs. India in the hockey
Damn but those Indian women can play! They're definitely keeping the pressure on, but Australia's just that teensy bit better. I think one of the commentators is also noting that the Indians have good individual skills but have only come together to play as a team for the C'Wealth Games, while the Hockeyroos play and train together a lot.
It's good to watch a game and see how things play out at the pro level. Interestingly I can see a few of the things our coach was trying to train us in. I just don't know that they work so well at an urban amateur league, when we don't have the kind of speed the pros do.
But this is a really impressive game to watch - really good playing, really good stickwork, intercepts. Now if I could only play half as well as these!
Hot damn, India! What a goal in the last two minutes!
