You never win silver, you lose the gold. Don’t know why but everytime i see us cheering the “win” of silver, this line hits my mind. Indian women’s hockey team went down 1-2 to Japan. They did better than their men counterparts but can’t get rid of this#INDvJPN #Hockey

Once again, after so much hype & hoopla, Indian hockey campaign ends tamely. If we can’t beat teams like Malaysia and Japan, wonder how we can even hallucinate about doing well at the world level.

Indian mens and women hockey team suffering from Final phobia in big events. Check the records of past 2 years india lost many finals. Mentally strongness and fitness in last minutes required

So Indian women’s Hockey team loses the final now by 2-1 and has to settle with Silver. Really it was a very close match, India again loses another Gold. We have to play qualifies to get a berth for Olympics 2020. Hard luck… #AsianGames2018
