The dominance of the Indian men’s hockey team is being seen in the Paris Olympics. The Indian team has played only three matches of its pool so far and has entered the quarter-finals. India had defeated New Zealand 3-2 in its first match, while India’s second match was a 1-1 draw against Argentina. In the third match, the Indian hockey team defeated Ireland 2-0 in Pool B. With this, Team India got the ticket for the quarter finals. The Belgian team has also reached the top 8 from Pool B.
With the help of two goals from captain Harmanpreet Singh and a brilliant performance by goalkeeper P R Sreejesh, who was playing in the last tournament, the Indian men’s hockey team continued its unbeaten campaign in the Paris Olympics and qualified for the quarter-finals by defeating Ireland 2-0. Indian hockey team still has two matches left in Pool B. India still has to play Belgium on August 1 and Australia on August 2. In such a situation, Harmanpreet Singh’s team can prepare well for the quarter finals.
With the win against Ireland, India has seven points from three matches. Four teams from each pool will make it to the quarter-finals. India and Belgium have qualified from Pool B. In such a situation, there will be a competition between Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and Ireland for the remaining two positions. However, it seems impossible for New Zealand and Ireland to reach the top 8, because both the teams have lost 3-3 matches. At the same time, Argentina has won one match and drawn one match. At the same time, Australia has won two out of three matches and lost one match. Pool A includes teams from Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, South Africa and France. No one from this pool has reached the top 8 yet.
