Group Stage - Pool B :: FIH World Cup 2010 :: New Delhi, India

The FIH 2010 World Cup is slowly spreading the hockey fever among the fans and it will enter into third day tomorrow with the first match being played between South Africa and England.

South Africa has had a bad start of the tournament, having lost against Spain with a 2-4. The team though scored the first goal of the tournament, could fight the Spain’s tactical and athletic challenge. Hykes of South Africa scored the first goal for them which had been equaled by Olivia of Spain in the next couple of minutes.
Alegre pushed another one for Spain and Haley didn’t allow Spain dominance and scored for SA in the next few minutes. But Garza and Quemada didn’t let the joy last long for the SA. They will go now to play against England which is riding high after their win against Australia. Tindall had starred in the English win and he scored 2 goals for them in the 33rd and the 45th minutes and Jackson scored the first goal for England in the 24th minute.
SA will play for a win and they would love to have as many penalty corners as possible and convert them. It will be interesting to see if the English will continue their romance.

New Zealand had some hesitation to come and participate in the Hero Honda Men’s World Cup Hockey 2010 for security reasons, but finally they are here to challenge the other 11 teams. They are also popular as the Black Sticks men and they are one of the strong contenders here and they won Olympics Gold medal in 1976 upsetting Australia. They are ranked team 8 and their coach Shane McLeod believes that Black Sticks Men have what it takes to go to the next level.

Canada has been qualified for the World Cup 2010 by winning the 2009 Pan American Cup beating Argentina in the semifinals and winning against United States by a 2-1 in the extra time. Paul Wettlaufer was the man who helped Canada triumph and qualified the team to the 2010 World Cup. Canada team coach Alan Brahmst believes talented Canadian captain Ken Pereira is most capable to take the team to the next level.
