Interesting time in Sports

Its quite interesting time in sports in general these days:
1) Field Hockey WC is on
Not much excitement about it here in Swiss (actually none at all). I hope its different in India.
But least said about Indian team performance the better. A set back with Sandeep Singh getting shot (Speedy recovery for him is wished).
Loss to Germany (last min) and England (after leading) is not to be excused. In Hockey India has made a habbit of losing in last few minutes. It happened against Pakistan, I remember not long ago and not just once.
Korea is playing Hockey like they play...FAST. Though they were losing regularly in past few months to other Asian giants, but they seem to be better prepared.
Who will win it: My guess still from the 3 usual suspects : Australia, Germany, Holland

2) France managed to beat Italy 3-1 (without the Zidane & Materazzi spice)
This was an interesting scoreline. I saw only Italy score...and then I looked at the scoreline...Interesting.
Seems France is on rebuilding already.

3) Pak is under scanner for ball tampering (wats new). As is Darel Hair for discrimination (Wats new again!!!)
Well people should be thinking whats the news in this. Its not the first (or second or third or..) time that Pakistan has been accused of ball tampering and it will not be the first time that it will be true as well.
Though Hair's connection to Subcontinent is legendary stuff. All the 3 teams (well B'desh can be excused) have at some point or other been on his Ire side...
