Believe it or not mate, people all over the world consider field hockey to be a predominantly male sport, only in your little North America is it a female sport.

Also I believe there is only a male Canadian team in the draw.

just give us our disappointing 6th place now

Where i can watch this?

Can't wait to get BTFO by the Germans in the final again, at least our women will rape every other team

Brutal sport mate.

Your only protection is a mouthguard and some shinpads.

Big games today.

Top teams and medal contenders Argentina and the Netherlands face off first in what should be a great first game, same goes for the later Belgium vs Britain game.

Then India vs Ireland, Ireland coming into their first Olympics off a stunning EuroHockey Nations Championship that saw them grasp 3rd place off a heavily favourited English team, should be an interesting match for sure.

Then comes the classic rivalry, Australia vs New Zealand, Australia coming into this Olympics as gold medal favourites.

Then Canada vs Germany and Spain vs Brazil, 2 very one sided game, with Germany and Spain expected to take these games with ease.

Over to the women's side of the draw we have Argentina vs USA and Great Britain vs Australia, 2 great games with a healthy supply of good hockey and qts.

Is that sexbimbo Flanagan still on your womens team?

I'll see if I can find some streams as we get closer to game time.

That's if the Germans actually get to the final...

You guys have a great chance this year depending on how Australia does in their pool matches.

Unfortunately not, however she is going to be there as an emergency player, so fingers crossed someone cops a good hit.

Damn, I'll have to do with the other 963 qt's then :/

How can I watch Olympics from Armenia? It seems hard to stream outside of America, Canada, Russia and UK

I'm not too sure what works atm, but try a local broadcaster.

It's about to start lads

> only 2000 hockeyplayers in hueland

this is your chance to become olympian brazilians

The new dutch shirts look like shit.

Dutch jerseys are p cool

Imagine BR girls and their big brown bundas in hockey skirts bending over for a corner

>argie womens play today

You guys/girls play irl?

How can I watch any game? No broadcasting of it in my country and any stream available.

no i used to play football now i just go to the gym. but hockey is pretty fun to watch plus muh chauvinism. I liked to play it with PE though

1-0 for >us!

Does NZ even stand half a chance against Australia

same here. I can enjoy hockey at the olympics. Don't really watch it other than this.

NZ is always good m8 it'll be close

NZ beat Australia a couple of years ago.

It's possible.

I do, but mostly for the parties and hockeymeisjes tbqh

I used to play baseball (in Tiel) and we shared the our grounds with the Hockey club (THC lmao). They had two hockey tournaments each year and they could also use our club house. The club could use all the funds from drink sales for themselves and it amounted to about 70% of the entire budget of our baseball organisation lmao. Had a fucking great time at those tournaments.

>The Brazilian women's team is so bad they're not allowed to compete as the host nation. How does this even happen? Even we competed in handball at the Sydney games.

where are the argentinians do they only care about the female qt's

Argie women are the manliest of all the female hockey players desu

India mentioned

>"women"'s rugby
ah impressive, a sport exclusively for dykes

Think Australia will take apart NZ unfortunately, India win too

What position do you lads play?

Centre back here

Central midfielder present

This still doesn't make it a tougher or more brutal spor than ice hockey or lacrosse

>tvw there aren't any qt English hockey meisjes

Nice
I did field hockey in my youth, I look forward to the nostalgia. I had a GX2000 stick
Right side defender here

>Lacrosse

All that padding for a couple of shoulder barges, Try taking a hockey ball to the face or a stick to pretty much anywhere on the body

Can't argue with retards from the deep south using protection I guess. Gratz on your shooting medal, Orlando will be proud.

You do realise that you guys being that close is a pretty incredible feat..

India is a great team, Ireland is a pretty shit team, I'd say that was a pretty good result for you guys.
