so the hockey world cup is finally over. What a final it was, Australia vs Germany, the fans and hockey favourites couldn't ask for a better final. The Germans played incredibly well and came within a whisker from taking the victory but in the end the best team won and the German's finally lost against a very determine Australian side. I must say that i was pretty impressed by the Germans, coming into the world cup with only 3 players from their previous world cup winning squad and qualifying for the final that itself was a big achievement.
Australia finally ended their losing streak to the Germans, beaten in the final in 2002 and 2006, they were definitely out for revenge on the day. With players like Jamie dwyer in the team you couldn't really doubt the end result. 2 world cup trophies now for the Australians, and their coach is absolutely amazing, captaining the side when they won their first in 1986 and coaching his team out for their second trophy, salutes to Rick Charlesworth and his amazing work
The Asian teams were a big let down, Pakistan finishing last!!!!First time for them and i bet its not gonna end soon if there is no drastic changes taking place....India finishing 8th, another disappointing result as they were actually beaten by Argentina in the playoff for the 7th spot. Koreans finish in 6th place and qualifying for the champions trophy, not really bad for them.
so the world cup is over and Australia deserve their win, i wish Malaysia was in it, but we somehow failed to qualify for the 2nd time running. The malaysian hockey fans can only wait and see what changes the MHF is gona take, there is already one in place, they hired a very good foreign coach and hopefully he can get better results out of the players.
