2007-12-03 17:34:00 Carvalho: Architect of India’s Asia Cup win Eight time hockey Olympics champion, India failed to win a medal at the Asian games in Qatar last year. This was for the first time that India, which had produced hockey wizard Dhyan Chand, faced such an ignominy. Earlier, the Indian team came eleventh out of 12 teams in the World cup, sixth at the Commonwealth Games and last in the Champion Trophy at home. Disappointed at Indian team’s performance, the government stuck hockey off its list of sports eligible for extra funding. Then came on the scene the "Messiah for the Indian hockey". Joaquim Carvalho, popularly called "jack" by his friends, was part of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic squad, considered one of the strongest ever to leave the Indian shores. He was in for a surprise when the Indian Hockey Federation offered him the post of coach of the team. It was not an easy task to put the Indian team on the rail again. A surprised Carvalho, ...

Say no more, Malaysia has been humiliated in the Asia Cup (Again..and again
2007-07-11 08:51:00 As expected, Malaysia have lost to China in Asia Cup Group stage. However, to be humiliated 1-5 in Malaysia home soil is a total disgrace. To make it even worse, Malaysian players seem to enjoy the result and didn’t feel any embarrassment whatsoever. Just after the match, they were clapping their hands and chatting to each others just like nothing had happen. After the match while reading the list of Malaysian players, my friend, Cok Man realized that something is wrong with Malaysia player selection. First team players featuring ; 3 players from Selangor , 3 players from Pahang , and 1 player each from NS Naza, Perak, Perlis, TMM & MyTeam.
