France defense was stunning.......I didn't expect that......totally surprising

[@69yearsago25]

Just like their football.

[@boonyee4421]

I did not anticipate such a result considering that earlier the Frenchmen received a 5-0 bashing from India. Hockey isn't exactly popular in France but they make remarkable progress in recent years.

[@ganeshnaik9463]

Next with france once again gone down with5-1

[@Antonnick]

well played by France. i suppose the game is played in France more in the north of the country, influenced by Belgium and the Netherlands, but I am guessing. More info appreciated.

[@jamil41345]

France is BASICALLY A RUGBY 🏉 , HANDBALL 🤾‍♀️ PLAYING COUNTRY... SOCCER ⚽️ AND BASKETBALL 🏀 IS POPULAR AMONG AFRICAN COMMUNITY

[@ilogicalmind3618]

Common guys you should understand, they are hosting the next Olympics that's why they are building the team .. .. everyone does that , look at Japan ..... They did for Tokyo and their team was quite strong...

[@ERICTENHAG56]

Germany best European country at sports

[@NiranjanKumar-et2rw]

Don't worry legends, Hang on and move on because there is need to lose in our life then will understand that what is win.🇮🇳

[@kev_naughty]

India has been lackluster recently. That semifinal match against Japan and then this!!

[@karanbir6139]

Those who're commenting down have u ever since played even a single match of field hockey at national level and moreover india also lost from south africa in cricket then nobody spoke to them. Olympic medal is in world not limited to 5 or 6 countries. The sports at olympic level is unpredictable no teams can be taken lightly. Instead demoralising the indian team we should appreciate them for showing efforts. It's just a rebirth for hockey we will learn from losses only new players are coming, management is changing so things take time. India will definately get gold medal in upcoming years 🇮🇳🏑

[@bharatvarsha7]

SA in Cricket is much stronger than France in Hockey..also, gap between these two side was more in hockey..giving excuses for such inconsistencies is why Indian hockey is struggling for eternity while teams like Belgium makes world class progress suddenly..pretty sure such excuses are not given Aus and Belgium after poor performance..and dont forget India also lost to Japan in Asian Champions trophy recently. This is not what we expect from a top team.

[@samuelghosh463]

Can scarcely believe this is the very side that beat the French 5 to nothing just a few days ago

[@robinmalhotra413]

We need a presence like Sardar Singh (a player more gifted than others) to control speed of play for such matches ...physically France matched us and they won and how can we miss so many penalty corners.

[@krishnendubasu5936]

True 👍

[@rohp1283]

Excellent win

[@thegableendie1711]

What a win for France!

[@jsssocialorganization8794]

Same thing happened against Japan , first india beat japan at a big mergin & then lost to them by another big margin.this is the risk of playing low ranked team.they have nothing to lose and we have many thing to lose. Play with teams ranked between 10.especially australia,belgium,holland so that we may fix up our standard & improve.

[@KingKohlifan5756]

Bro Hockey is not like cricket,where the predicted result always takes place,this is a game which requires great amount of fitness and stamina.Btw world rankings don't matter that much,any team can win on a given day 👍.

[@StormyKid27]

very well played France

[@susharma9560]

Being overconfident after beating SA

[@manishmeena6429]

Come on guys we shouldn't criticize india for this yes they did play below par but we saw out of 12 pc not even a single got converted into a goal and some of the great opportunities were missed on the other hand french goal keeper was rock solid at anything which came his way. Also France converted all opportunities which were created due to flaw in Indian midfield and possession. This kind of thing happens when it is your day when everything goes in your favour so was the case with France. But look today they were crushed 5-1 by Netherlands so we should not blame india much about this although they need to work or drag flicking defense and lost possession problems .

[@bharatvarsha7]

this only means India is very inconsistent, which resulted in India struggling in world event more often than not..same thing happened in Asian Champions trrophy. Beat Japan 6-0 in league and then lost to them in semifinal..such thing we wont see from Aus and Belgium..and losing by 4-2 from a French side no matter what is poor effort.

Lol India has been playing this sport way back since 1926 and are 8 times gold medalists in the Olympics,whereas France is just a newbie in this sport.They did manage to cause an upset against India,but next time the result will definitely be different.

[@Sammy58328]

They could have drawn the match during last Indian PC. But they concede twice instead. Hehe!

France was lucky this time. First was the penalty strike, and then second goal 4:01 was went straight through goalkeeper's legs. Second goal a lucky one though, no skill just a hit towards the goal.

[@alexjenner8434]

Penalty stroke wasn't luck. That was an awful challenge and well deserved

[@kristofachandra2469]

@@alexjenner8434 I agree, the umpire was very lenient, an intentional professional foul like that should have been penalised with a 5 min yellow too

I think our Olympic bronze medal was a fluke, considering the performance our FIH standing seems to be 7th or 8th and not 3rd

[@dannybagga8133]

What kind of hockey India has played ? Their defense, middle and forward are all beaten. Their passes are not even on point. I'd say India played a really bad hockey and France took advantage of that.
