What with South Africa, maybe they will decline quota?

I follow them and their association seems completely certain that they will go.

I can confirm 99% that  &  will be in pool A in Paris with .

 

 

Should be noted that, while all this is happening,  &  are playing a series of 6 (!) ranked tests in Cape Town to (likely) determine the bottom seed in OG tournament.

Ireland playing surprisingly well. Incapable of correctly trapping a single PC so far though.

 

 

SO wouldn't be a bad deal for them anyway.

Unfortunate for  they were in a tough group

Funny thing is USA finished in last place at the last pro league and was going to be relegated but NZ pulled out instead arguing they were going to concentrate their money and effort in olympic qualification, now they are left with neither.

Not that Canada is any better in Bandy.

 

(I’d argue Lacrosse is closer to “ice hockey on a field” than field hockey, esp the Olympic format, and ofc Bandy is almost literally Field Hockey on ice).

The latter two are also "football with sticks".

 

The way I see it, the difference between these "families" is "people who actually want to pass a ball" vs "people who want to beat up other people"

Yes but anything with India involved is a cheat code. 

 

Staying on topic: Hockey India has more following than FIH.

Clearly field hockey is more popular than water polo

Certainly not in a forum with 80% active users from meditarranean countries 

[LDOG 2,199]

Jeez, people really want to post the results of this huh.

 

Meanwhile at water polo thread nobody even bothers to comment who won half of the time
