India vs Spain World Cup Hockey 2010 Match Live Score
The current condition of the two teams is that both of them won one match while lost one. They have 3 points from two matches and just because of better goal difference Spain is in 3rd position in Pool B while India is in 4th position. In this pool, Australia is in second position with 3 points and because of better goal difference. So, who ever loses in this match can perhaps say goodbye to the dream of playing in the semifinals.
While watching the first two matches, what I felt was that the main problem of Indian hockey team is that they are yet to be a good unit and they want to run after individual glory. Another problem is that they became very happy and confident after defeating Pakistan in the opening day by 4-1 goals. While, yesterday, Indian team suffered a terrible thrashing at the hand of Australia , Pakistan could manage a very hard earned victory against Spain .
