India demolish Pakistan 19-0 to storm into Women’s Hockey Junior Asia Cup semi-finals

[Raj-Hindustani]

Victories are very few and far between for Indians, so yes take the little ones when you can.

I however, continue to enjoy this victory ( 4 x Rafales with tails of BS-001, BS-021, BS-022, and BS-027, 1 x Su30MKI, 1 x Mig-29, 1 x Mirage-2000 ).

That's funny—live in dreams but don't post everywhere—there is a dedicated thread. Enjoy there... NO disturbing there, even if you claim all 36 Rafales were shot down.

Except that you stop watching when the "marquee fixture" is done.

As if EITHER of these teams have any hope in hockey these days. You're living in the 1980s but Europe, Aus, NZ, Argentina, even Korea have all advanced since then.

You will recall we had this exact conversation regarding the men's world cup and Pakistan finished 11 while India finished 8.

Do you think anyone else in the world even noticed?

We may as well play each other at conkers.

It doesn’t mean you stop playing!

Still, I would say India has won medals in the last two Olympics, and for me, that’s more than enough. Yes, European hockey teams are much more advanced and are playing better at the moment. Agreed on that.

But sports are about much more than winning medals. Sports tell you something about the health and spirit of a country. If sports aren’t alive and thriving, it can be a sign that life and survival have become too harsh, and people have little space left for joy, competition, or dreams.

So yes, we should keep playing, keep competing, and keep trying to improve. Winning matters, but keeping the sporting spirit alive matters even more.

That’s exactly what’s important. And as I already said, I used to play many sports, and I still follow a lot of sports today. Winning definitely gives you happiness, there’s no doubt about that. But for me, the joy of playing, watching, competing, and following the sport is just as important.

Emotive words indeed, but the proof of all this supposed urge for sportsmanship lies in the pudding!

As I said in another thread, if India decides to treat Pakistanis as "touchable" and shake our hands and participate in the nature that sports should be participated in, then Pakistan would have no problem playing India, regardless of results. I'm not sure in this ladies hockey match what happened in that specific regard. Do shed some light if known.

If politics and prejudice remain embedded in sporting culture, then fixtures should be suspended. Simple as that really.

Hindutva Rajesh is celebrating women's hockey victory.

Why - women are not human in your eyes? Or respectful?

True , we should celebrate that Pakistan has a women's hockey team.

Guys, please don’t celebrate India’s sporting wins against Pakistan, our Pakistani friends don’t like it. We’re guests here, after all, and should respect our hosts feelings. Clearly, the Indian team missed the etiquette briefing all 19 times.

India: "Saaaaar, Pakijtan bad and eval! Pakijtan Taliban sapporter!"

Also India: "Saaaar, Taliban and Hindujtanis share same DNA, culture and civilisation! Also, Ijrail and Hindujtan fater and motherland relashionship!"

Perfectly normal India!
