Frustration for Britain's hockey teams 10:24pm on 19 Aug 2008 Wait one please, ok we might be predictable but the men drew with Australia and lost to the dutch by an odd goal given away in a moment of madness.
In the world cup we punched above our weight, and have out performed ourselves here.

So we are in the playoff instead of the semis, we are not good enough for that - yet. We need better conversion rates at PC's and better ideas at breaking down minnows eg Canada and SA

We need to learn to win hard games, and learn to play different styles of hockey. Middleton and Mantell in dutch hockey can do us no harm.

Get the top rank in our section of playoffs and work on that
Victory over Pakistan kickstarts GB men 04:00am on 14 Aug 2008 Well I think I would be happy with three points out of six having played Pakistan and Holland.
After dismal performances for the last two olympics it is nice to read (cannot see, living in the USA these days) that GB are playing disciplned hockey.
Will reserve judgement until we play Canada and SA, that is where we traditionally lose out.
Need to feed of the unbeaten performance at the qualifier.
Also its nice to see another decent keeper emerging in the GB goal. Mason was sorely missed, maybe not so much this year.
I hope Mr Lee gave the muppet who gave the corner away a good rollicking
