Isnt this mostly a women's sport? It is here at least

It is/used to be a pretty big sport in India. We won 8 Olympic gold medals in it but with the astroturf coming in, we could not keep up with the pace of the Europeans and now the Indian and Pakistani sides are struggling in field hockey, and the popularity of the sport has taken a beating here.

Otherwise I`d say its one of the sports which we pride on being good at. I believe it huge in the Netherlands and pretty well followed in places like Germany,Australia and NZ as well.

With Australia, Spain and Pakistan in our group, its easy to say bye bye India. They have been very very poor in recent past too. Still I will watch all matches if possible as my dad loves hockey and never misses chance to see it on TV.

AstroTurf and technology end this game for us, we are still most successful team in this sport ever but lack of management skill put us down and out. This is the reason that we have to play our first ever WC qualification round.

India and Pakistan were ace at dribbling, but Astroturf sort of made that invalid, it's more of a power game now.

AS are most modern sports, it seems.

Indo-Pak hockey is still fun to watch with all the dribbling in it. Still very skillful but does`nt get us the results against the Aussies, Europeans and the Argentines.

India-Pakistan in hockey is really a 50-50 thing. Both teams have been equally woeful in recent years. Our record against the Aussies is pathetic and we`ll have to raise the game to hold our own against them. Hopefully, we`ll have huge home crowds cheering us on.

Thats the link for those who wish to watch this online. I`m really excited actually. Not very often that you get to support India in a big event not about cricket. The Hockey World Cup is one such event and with India in the Davis Cup World Group as well, looking forward to supporting Indian sides in sports other than cricket as well.
Also just remembered that India have also qualified for the Asian Cup Football ( Asia`s version of the EURO Championships).

A long list of events starting now and ending with the AFC Asian Cup Football next year where we get to support our Indian national side.
FIH Hockey WC , Delhi 2010
Davis Cup World Group
ICC WT20 2010, West Indies
Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010 and the Asian Games 2010
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011
AFC Asian Cup 2011

Thats a lot if you are an Indian sports lover. Not often that we get to watch Indian sides in so many different events in such short span of time.
