Statistics based on results in 1996 or 1968 or something aren't going to influence tomorrow's chances though :p

I know :p

 

But I don’t think it will be a walk in the park either. The gold medal definitely isn’t guaranteed at all.

Double gold for :NED it is.

 

Makes this sport look bad to be honest but they have the best squad in men's hockey too.

There has never been a double gold in hockey ever at the Olympics, so not sure if the odds are in favor of the Dutch women tomorrow

The Netherlands won the Hockey World League by winning all 6 matches with a goal difference of +18, without any of their opponents scoring a single goal against them.

 

Group phase:

 

:NED 4 - 0 :NZL 

:NED 2 - 0 :USA  

:NED 3 - 0 :KOR

 

Final rounds:

 

:NED 4 - 0 :CHN (QF)

:NED 2 - 0 :KOR (SF)

:NED 3 - 0 :NZL (F)

 

With :KOR winning the bronze medal by defeating the Olympic champions from :ENG  (well :GBR won the gold in Rio, but all players were from :ENG), all three medalists of this Hockey World League were in the same group.

What a tense match. The Dutch girl grew during the match, but the Germans were really dangerous at times. The German players were excited when they realized that the match was going to be decided by shoot outs.

 

Fortunately, the Dutch won their semi final again, just like they defeated New Zealand in the semis 4 years ago after shoot outs. :cheer:
