Adding insult to injury: France beat Pakistan in World Hockey League

Imran said the morale in the Pakistan squad was very low after today’s loss, which means they will now play for the seventh and eighth position on Sunday.

Though the last match of India saw a defeat, their performance and potential can not be underestimated because they lost only one match in this whole league that too against the Australians.

BRUSSELS: Britain defeated Pakistan in the crucial quarter final match by 2-1 in the 2015 World Hockey League (WHL) tournament being played at Brussels, Belgium.

Great Britain are yet to suffer a defeat in the tournament and hit back with goals from David Condon, Ashley Jackson and Sam Ward after falling behind to Malaysia.

Tim Whiteman could be set to feature at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, after the Great Britain men’s hockey team had their qualification confirmed this week. Ex- Pakistan players as well as fans, got disappointed with the performance of the Pakistan team. “We used to follow hockey with pride but the game is dead now”. Pakistan is a seriously good team, with a higher ranking (10th) to Ireland (14th).

Imran followed the footsteps of the national selection committee, headed by chief selector Islahuddin Siddiqui, which also resigned from their posts after Pakistan failed to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics. He converted a short corner with a blistering shot in the 46th minute.

“Without providing facilities and lifting the living standard of the players, there is no hope Pakistan hockey will come up from ashes”.

“We had our chances, but failed to convert them”.

“We have seen Pakistan’s flag rising numerous times and we have never let the whole country so down”, Khan said.

“The hockey officials are incompetent and brought disaster on our national sport”, he said.

This was yet another disaster waiting to occur, elimination of Pakistan Hockey from Olympics.
