These aren't chokes. We were expected to struggle in the quarter finals in the Hockey.
Moral victory to us this time......

Ah no we are the world number 4 they are the number 8 we should have beaten them.
Maybe struggle in the Semis but we should have won here.
This is just another in a long litany of Australian team sports to crap the bed when it matters.
You must be new around here. Every time we lose it's because we choked. When the Boomers lost to f*king Team USA last Olympics, there were people giving them shit for it.
Could be a money thing

Girls were talked after some atrocious umpiring.
I can see the red mark on that Chinese though from here. I can't understand why that goal was not overturned but the high stick pc was.
Shambolic umpiring one again in international hockey.

Should at least be beating China. If it was to the Netherlands or Belgium, a bit more understandable.

Amazing how much we have dropped off in Hockey given its one of our more popular played sports here. Not surprised given we have been tactically poor when attacking, and hang on to old players to long. Mens team were slow as defensively. Time for new coaches and a fresh generation with an eye on Brisbane.
Rowing used to be a strong point as well. As did mens swimming. Shame we have dropped off in both of those as well.
Hopefully we are still strong on the velodrome.

Then what do you call the undefeated number 4 team in the world losing to the 2-3 number 8?
Rousseau 10m Platform
Matthew Richardson in the individual sprint (cycling)
Mackenzie Little Javelin
Robinson in the surfing
The 2 boxers - already guaranteed bronze but could go better
Kayak Men's sprint K2 and K1
Arisa Trew in the women's park skateboarding
Could get more in cycling as there was a significant fall from grace in Tokyo, much associated with the previous head coach. Cycling Australia has done significant work in the management space, which will hopefully see some improvement.
It's a low scoring game. It's hard to win

Is it though? It has solid participating numbers but I wouldn't call it one of the most popular sports. It gets nothing mainstream. Doubt many people could name the local comps name

They are all so close in hockey. You have to take your chances. These penalty corners were farcical, whether their one slightly touched the leg is irrelevant we had how many chances and literally barely got a shot on target
Need to find a penalty corner taker who can absolutely spank the cover off the ball. Do the old Tommy Hafey "no finessen" thing and just take aim and fire.
