India lost their second straight game with same margin ... With that our hope of reaching semis r over ... Now we r struggling to finish 4th in the group to get chance to play matches for 5th to 8th positions.

Against Spain we played lot better than Aussies but again silly mistakes like not marking opponent properly, making unnecessary infringement inside circle to give penalty corners to opponents, instead of quick passing do unnecessary dribbling, fail to intercept or collect passes and poor penalty corner variations.

Deepak Thakur missed numerous chances ... Sandeep Singh did regular stupid things like slapping ball hard at opponent area where no Indian was collect to the pass.
