Men's Field Hockey Tournament at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

Shootouts for a spot in the semi's, not feeling confident about that at all, but it's already quite the performance they got this far after the very bad group phase..

First time since 1984 the Dutch men don't make the semis in the Olympics. And it was not at all undeserved, they were by far not good enough.

How did World No 3 and runners up in last World Cup finish fourth in their pool

Because they haven't played well at all for the past few years (sure, they got a Euro gold), and got below even that level in Tokyo. World rankings don't mean much and the World Cup was already three years ago and was more of a unexpectedly good result than anything else.

Absolutely. It encourages negative play from underskilled teams. See Ireland in women's world cup.

Not surprised by the dutch debacle, Caldas is an overrated coach. 7 years with the men and no improvement at all. His titles with the women are not a proof of anything, any decent coach can win stuff coaching the dutch women.

Exactly

fancy losing to a 3rd rate team like Australia

    • Curling is the only sport played without referees - players are expected to be honest.
    • Looks like it was a 'joke' by some online magazine? I can't imagine the actual Metallica was involved in it, that would suck so bad. Worst April Fool's joke I've seen.
    • Playa del Carmen Elite16   Women’s Tournament Gold-  Carol Solberg/Rebecca Cavalcanti Silver-  Terese Cannon/Megan Kraft Bronze-  Kristen Nuss/Taryn Brasher   Shoutout to my new favourite pairing of Hüberli/Kernen, who have backed up their silver at the Yucatán Challenge by recording a quarterfinal finish here by defeating Olympic Champions  Duda/Ana Patricia in straight sets in the round of 12 (to be fair, they looked off all event long, but they also beat Nuss/Brasher). This team definitely has what it takes to be a top 5 team and consistently contending for medals. First time watching Kernen play, all I can say is how is she that good at only 19? She’s gonna be a star in the future.    Men’s Tournament Gold-  Noslen Diaz/Jorge Alayo  Silver-  Tomas Capogrosso/Nicolas Capogrosso  Bronze-  Chaim Schalk/James Shaw    Schalk/Shaw defeated Olympic champions  Ahman/Hellvig in the quarterfinals   Full Results

    • So I was watching a replay of China-Germany in between Canada’s game against Sweden and this one against Italy and… it seems like China cheated during it which could’ve been critical in them winning the match?    During the 1st end, Xu with his last rock had an easy hit for the single against three German stones. One of the sweepers for China (I can’t tell which one, this team is quite new to me) “accidentally” kicked their own stone, which redirected one of their own stones into the rings, and Germany only got the steal of 2. HIS FUCKING FOOT IS TOUCHING THE ROCK   Now after, Team Xu was claiming that the stone was picked (it was not) and Muskatewitz was arguing that it couldn’t possibly have been picked. China wouldn’t admit it, and they ended up winning the game 10-9. BOO.    Hope these cheaters don’t qualify for the Olympics. 
    • Edin usually has mediocre seasons though (that being said this has been worse than usual), then really starts to show up for Worlds. He’s only won 4 GSOC events in his career.     They’re at a 4-2 record at the moment, so seems to be the case again. Plus, they played really well in their loss to Canada. 
    • I'm in tears, finally I have access after months. For some reason I can only enter the site from my phone. Surely it must be a problem with my home internet connection.
