the lead is well deserved for the Australians. Pakistan had a lot of chances with short corners. They are missing Sohail Abbas, the worlds best executer. He has ended his international career after the Champions Trophy 2004. The hockeyfans in Pakistan hope for his comeback next year for the World Cup in Moenchengladbach. Today the corners are absolutely not dangerous. But also Australia missed to score more goals in the first half. |
