LDOG 2,197 Posted December 4, 2018 #32 Share Posted December 4, 2018 FIH should really change the schedule of the next matches. On the other hand failing to beat China is embarassing for both ENG & IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 781 Posted December 5, 2018 #33 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Ultra-impressive win for Germany. Before the start of the tournament the team said that their goal was to win the title, maybe it's not completely unrealistic after all ... Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I cant remember a single FIH event where final matches in the groups were played at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is most hockey tournaments are hosted in a single stadium, so there isn't really any room for that. Only exceptions I can think of were 2014 WC in Hague and the last olympics, they had two fields but still there weren't simultaneous games.

I see sometimes we have that in volleyball or basketball but that's not a "rule" even at the Olympics (of course beside football) Well I forgot about what @LDOG mentioned (games often being played in one stadium), so in that situation it makes sense of course. When there are multiple stadiums, I really can't imagine why they'd let the games be played at separate times, besides, obviously, money.

LDOG 2,197 Posted December 6, 2018 #40 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) France advances to R16! I knew they had it in them. Our younger players played many minutes and some of them are terrible so I'm not completely surprised with the result. Spain didn't deserve to go out, they were much better comparatively than NZ in all matches. Edited December 6, 2018 by LDOG toulousain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
