We brought her cuz she's big and good at SO despite not being as good as the reserve keeper. Happily it paid off. 

 

Let's go for that bronze now.

That was close 

 

We deserved to lose tbh, lots of amateur stuff. We'll need some more heroics from the GK to have a shot in the semis.

I disagree. It was much better than the Australia game for example in which they conceded 300 silly corners and had gruyere cheese defense. Circle penetrations was 25 to 13 today. We just lacked better PC execution.

 

Still far from their top capabilities but more focused than before.

The  team is at the end of an era - both in terms of players and set up. I don’t we think will qualify for LA sadly

Technically you’re not wrong. Stalwart coach Danny Kerry has stepped down from initially taking up the role of performance director for England Hockey (obvs not GB but has major impact on how we go internationally). 
 

However I’d challenge your negativity and see this as a fresh start for the squads. There’s time to build on what we have which isn’t terrible and look to bring in more talent. 

I mean I’m sure you were surprised as I was about some of the selection choices particularly on the women’s side so onwards and upwards!!

I shall leave this here! Yesterday’s atmosphere at the QFs was electric and made me so proud to be part of the hockey family. We’ve got one hec of a great sport, and long may it continue
