ofan 237 Posted August 9, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Man, I thought field hockey was easy to understand. After watching it, it may be the most complicated sport. There seems to be a foul called every five seconds, and they keep re-taking penalty shots. I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The men's game flows quite a bit more. About penalty retaking, just know that 95% of the time it's because it hit the foot of a defender, which isn't allowed. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more similar to bandy and football (soccer) than it is to Ice Hockey. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofan 237 Posted August 9, 2019 #19 Share Posted August 9, 2019 How about this venue - they've built a state of the art hockey stadium with artificial turf next to what appears to be a crumbling shanty town. Priorities.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted August 9, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ok, that's it for the match. Canada will have to go through the play-offs, but I actually have faith in their chances there if they can avoid Belgium in the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
