Summer Tokyo 2021 Day 10 Thread

Is this for real? Long jump final finished an hour ago. Shithouse coverage.

Georgie Parker a bit arrogant with her early comments. Saying things like the floodgates will open later and claiming we have superior fitness in the conditions. Surely she knows how oppressive Indian conditions can be? I saw one of their players wearing long sleeves. India don't look the slightest bit concerned with the heat/humidity.

just classic aussie media arrogance.

browning was being talked up as a gold medal chance despite him never having run under 10 seconds, and under 10 seconds was the benchmark to even make the final

Please refer to me who was talking up Browning as a gold medal chance? Did not hear or see that once after the heat.

There was lots of talk of him potentially reaching the final of course.

WTF was that penalty corner lol

 

[Bungeye]

Hockeyroos ball control is the worst in the tournament. Another Aussie team relying on athletes

 

[manureid]

Looking a bit clueless in attack. If they dont get level in the 3rd I reckon they will crack under the pressure

 

[danielnajdek]

Don't even look like scoring a goal

 

[juice t]

Absolutely putrid thus far

 

[manureid]

Through on goal and could not trap it. Choke job is well and truly on

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Playing like local level players

 

[danielnajdek]

They aren't winning this. They can't even hold onto the ball.

 

[manureid]

Can't make a pass, can't trap a ball, and have no idea what to do when in the attacking zone

 

[juice t]

Good old falcon there

 

[danielnajdek]

Our corners are atrocious. Do they even practice them at training.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen, what a choke

 

[danielnajdek]

And their control of the ball isn't much better

 

[Bungeye]

The hockeyroos have played liked this for a long time. The last classy player was Nikki Hudson

 

[drd23]

Why would it be a travesty if the Hockeyroos lose this game Georgie?

 

[manureid]

BS Parker, Qtr finals dont reward finishing on top? You are playing the 4th ranked team, that IS your reward

 

[BG__]

I hope Indian hockey fans are less annoying than their cricket fans

 

[William C]

pathetic commentary about the format. Australia are playing the weakest opponent in the QF and were $1.01 odds to progress. India have done really well given their ability but Australia have played awful and don't deserve to win unfortunately. 3 mins left

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Big call

 

[BGman]

The last classy player was Nikki Hudson

Watched their last five games and plenty of class shown. Reckon they peaked too soon.

 

[danielnajdek]

They wont score anyway. Their penalty corners are horrible.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Last roll of the dice here..
