But due to their poorly prepared Team due to financial problems of the SHF, the players are not exposed to big games conditions and players style they lost. Most of the goals were 'gift' goals eg: weak pass back, miss flicks.<BR/><BR/>Ours have travelled far and wide and if that is what we can do then woe betide us.<BR/><BR/>But the fundamental flaw with our two joint host is that FIH should not have allowed us to host, so as to qualify automatically. In so doing, FIH have put the death knell to our Hockey.<BR/><BR/>When we are thrashed by the 'big boys' the public will be turned off and that will be bad for the game.<BR/><BR/>The FIH President that allowed all this hany-panky awarding of the JWC is gone,MHF officials whom was supposed to gain from this JWC is gone. Only the SHF factor is there to accept the glory of fixing the award and to the Singapore Sports hierachy it is a feather in the cap for them to be able to have such a powerful figure in the world body to get FIH to award such a prestigious tournament to us esp to SIN.( Feather in the cap for her)<BR/><BR/>When Singapore gets thrashing by double figures, we pray that top figures of SIN will realised that the SHF figure is doing all this for her own benefit and even getting SIN humiliated does not concerned her as long as she get the limelight. Anyone who have concerned for their country's reputation and knowledge of Hockey as she claimed, will not allow SIN to automatically qualify because SIN cannot even beat Iran,Bangladesh or Sri Lanka then how to take the big boys. <BR/><BR/>We hope that MHF will learn a lesson from this and as the ones that brought this to MHF is gone no one can be accountable.<BR/><BR/>As for SIN, we hope to see that the one in SHF should be made to account for her folly and her head will roll for bringing this disgraceful display to the world stage knowing fully that we are not capable of putting a show against the World's best. Just for her own face, she will sell every body including herself.<BR/><BR/>So, your Question cannot be answered except we must pray that we will not suffer the same fate as SIN by losing by double digit.<BR/><BR/>With the present Coaching Setup, we will not be betting against it.<BR/><BR/>Heart-Pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
