Why is it such a small news? In these days any victory is good and they have won the Asia Cup now that is big. There was no prominent reporting of the tournament before this and this is also incomplete news. Who scored the goals?

They beat the Indian national Junior team 5-4. You think that was great job of our senior team beating 16-18 year old Indian Junior team preparing for next years Junior World cup 5-4?

Congratulations to Pakistan hockey team for winning Asian Champion Trophy and successfully defending it. Great to see them achieving victory against India. Still the sadness remains for our team not able to qualify for hockey world cup. Its time to put the disappointment behind and our team should strive hard to prepare for Olympics and win against strong teams like Australia, Holland and so on. The victory has brought lots of smiles for our nation which is going through tough times. Coach and management needs to improve on our teams penalty corner conversion, converting goal scoring chances into goals and fitness. Hats off to our hockey and well done. :)

A great victory indeed. The result confirms that all is not that bad in the field of Pakistani hockey. With a little bit of extra work, they can win matches against top teams but only if they think they can since when you believe in your self, anything is possible.
