After a tough 1-1 draw in the full time vs Great Britain (GB), Indian team won the penalty shootout 4-2 in the Quarter Final of the Olympics Men's Hockey.
This places the Indian Team in contention for a medal in the Men's Hockey event this Olympics.
It won't be easy as India might have to face another tough team- Argentina or Germany(Germany's chances look more on the current form yet one cannot discount Argentina).

I forgot about the match but came to know about it from social networking and they are blaming the wrong umpiring that forced India to play with 10 players only and then there is news of Britains GK using phone during penalty shootout

I am not aware of the use of phone by Great Britain folks.
Unluckily India went down to Germany in the Semis with a 1 goal difference.

I saw a social media post about it but did not checked it completely. Yes sadly in the last minute and have won bronze so its not so bad but Gold would have been great

[ptrikha21]

Yes a Gold or Silver would have been such a nice finish. I felt that the Indian team lacked a bit in the field goals and another good Penalty Corner Specialist.

They were overly relying on Harmanpreet for his goals on penalty corners and that costed the defeat against Germany.

Yes I see this as a big challenge for the Indian team going forward. They are relying too much on Harmanpreet Singh for goals, mainly Penalty Corners.
India needs more goal scoring players.
