Coming into the Olympics, I definitely thought India was weaker than in Tokyo. However the hockey we've produced has been of a very high quality so far. Our passing, use of aerials and defensive structure seems much better overall, even though a bit of the attacking flair/effectiveness has gone down.
Anyhow, here are my predictions for the knockouts:
Germany vs Argentina: Germany win
Great Britain vs India: India win
Netherlands vs Australia: Netherlands win
Spain vs Belgium: Belgium win
Germany vs India: India win
Netherlands vs Belgium: Belgium win
Germany vs Netherlands: Netherlands win
Belgium vs India: Belgium win
🥇 Belgium
🥈 India
🥉 Netherlands
