Pakistan is again a total disaster. They changed coach twice in the last month, they will host their home pro-league games in 5 different countries and their participation in WC is still in danger because of lack of funds. Also India still hasn't given them the visas to travel...

The penalty corner of our team is a tragedy. Even Trinidad and Tobago has better routines than these girls.
