Think Germany for us in the semis may be tough tbh.
Hockeyroos finished right where their ranking suggested they should. Lacked any sort of goal scoring ability it seems these days.

Looked wide open in the womens and you had the tougher group anyway by the looks of it. GB may well have failed to qualify if we had swapped groups with you lot.

GB through to the semis courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Spain.
Meanwhile, we're up 4-2 at halftime against Germany. Frustrating that it's taken us until our last game to play the way we can, though it could be argued that Germany aren't particularly fussed seeing as they've already qualified.

BARNES OUT
Arguably the greatest.

Noooooooo. Was always on the cards sadly, Dutch had a huge advantage there, for a start they play those penalties in the Euro League so they've had practice at it.
Michelsen was the only one of ours I was confident about tbh, she has amazing skills. Would have backed Sharland too, but unfortunately she made a meal of it.
Dutch the better team, but still feel a bit robbed - their second goal was horse****.

Yeah, the Brits will be absolutely desperate to get something in front of their home crowd, so it'll be really difficult for the girls. Still even if they don't win anything its been a brilliant effort, one they have every right to be proud of.Pretty devastating.And it must be hard to get over that disappointment and lift again to play for the bronze. Hope they can do it.
Either way, though, really proud of their Olympic campaign. Awesome.

Absolutely. NZ teams (both men and women) in the past have got to crunch games before and choked, suddenly playing a shocker after they had been in good form. That certainly wasn't the case yesterday, we played brilliantly, and could have won with a bit more luck.
Really hope we take the bronze, though it will be so hard for them to get up for it. Will be devastating if we go home with nothing.
