Disappointed with our results but optimistic for the future of Pakistan Hockey

Once again not sure this coaching appointment is really gonna work for us. However, we only have Bob Vedholf like what? 3 months? And he joined us as a GK coach at first then suddenly was switched to head coach 3 weeks before the World Cup.

Let's give him time and resources, which the PHF has been giving. Reports are suggesting that PHF is going to ALL lengths to revive hockey. This is a world cup that begins our revival. There's still lots to play for, our aim now shifts to securing 9th place as we go into Pool F where we will face Japan and most probably New Zealand. Both are formidable opponents, especially New Zealand but beating them could be a highlight of our World Cup as they thrashed us last year 6-2 in the Nations Cup final. Winning that group means we'll get to play for the 9th position against formidable team like France or Spain.

There's also the Asian Games coming up and before that tours to Korea and Russia are arranged aswell. There's plenty of hockey for Bob Vedholf and team to redeem themselves.

He has no fucking idea what he's doing

I'm fuming. Tahir Zaman's Pakistan would have rekt Wales 3 times over. How did we become so shit at penalty corners? Where the fuck did our attacking flair go?!

Those two goals that wer scored, that was entirely because the players dropped this dumbasses stupid pragmatic play style and reverted to their aggressive style of hockey they played under Tahir Zaman.

That comeback was classic Rana Waheed under Tahir Zaman.

He's just ruined our world cup 🤬

New coaching staff maybe not working for Pakistan?

It's only the fourth game under new coaches and it's way to early to be saying this but I kinda miss the tactics we had during Tahir Zaman era. We just did not stop attacking. This new defensive low block is complete 180 to that kinda aggressive attacking hockey we used to play.

Still two more games to go

Our netball team just keeps winning, we need to support them more!!

The Netball team won the plate division of the 2025 Asian Youth Championship thereby gaining promotion to the Cup division (where the best teams play)

And now they ran through the pool stages at the Asian SENIOR championships against Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei and losing to Thailand in the pools to then win against Japan in the semi finals and then got their revenge by beating Thailand in the final thereby earning promotion to the Cup division for the 2028 Asian Senior Championships.

This was only their 6th international match and they beat a ranked opponent like Thailand. They need to play atleast 8 matches to get ranked and they've played 6 so far.

The top two teams qualify for the World Cup and since we will be competing in the Cup division in 2028, Pakistan genuinely has a chance to qualify for the World Cup if they continue to develop in the next two years.

Most of the girls belong to the Pakistan Netball Academy in Britain and they're doing an amazing job at developing players, the PSB also needs to accelerate a Netball program in Pakistani schools and Colleges to harbour local talent, it's not that hard as the infrastructure requirements already exist in most schools and colleges and it's a great exercise for young girls.

🚨 Sheffield United Center back Zain Tahir (19) highly likely to make debut for Pakistan at the FIFA ASEAN Cup

Currently on loan at League 2 side Oldham Athletic. Much needed centerback backup option for Abdullah Iqbal and Easah Suliman or even as a starter in place of Mohib Afridi.

A backline of:

Fazal - Iqbal - Zain - Easah - Haris would be lit

Pakistan at the eve of the World Cup - A long journey back but the night is always darkest before dawn and these players were born and grew up in the dark.

They don't know the dawn, they don't know the good facilities, good administration. But by god if they get them, I'm 100% sure they can achieve anything and everything. They made it here even when the system actively worked against them.

India ruining SAFF by committing to ASEAN Cup, paid 7 million USD to Brazil for playing friendly in the same dates as ASEAN Cup only to lose all the games

Didn't think AIFF could out do PFF in comedy but here we are.
