It is hard to accurately estimate how good or bad the Indian men’s hockey team have started their campaign at the Paris Olympics. There is a case to be made that both matches so far have posed more questions than answers. For all the talk of getting to the Olympics fully ready to hit top gear, they have stuttered in large parts of their matches. After identifying that conceding early goals was a concern, they have gone down 0-1 against New Zealand and Argentina.

India brace for the Pluck of the Irish
ERROL D’CRUZ
A few years ago, Pakistan lost a European tour opener to Ireland 0-1. Fans expressed outrage online, one of whom said it’s less said the better on how the tour would go if Pakistan lost to such a lowly team. How ignorant are many sub-continental fans on what happens in world hockey. But you can’t fully blame them. Hockey, after all, doesn’t draw centre-stage media coverage and gets some attention by and large only at the Olympics.
