Sportolysis – The World Sports Blog

India Plays Pakistan in the Hockey World Cup tonight. The World Cup is being held in India which is some thing to be proud about. The famous stars like Virender Sehwag and Priyanka Chopra have done their bit with advertisements to promote the tournament which is a great thing.

Two qualms –

1. We have literally no chance of winning the title. See about decline and neglect of hockey in India here.

2. All the matches are being held in the Dhyan Chand National Stadium in Delhi. I would have loved to go to a few matches if they were held in Kolkata. It should be held in more venues if the world cup and hockey is to have a chance to catch the imaginaiton of the nation.

I hope India does well and reaches the semis, which would be a great achievement.
