Malaysia have been sufferring embarassing defeats at the BDO Hockey World Cup Qualifiers. They lost twice so far....one to the unheralded and lower ranked, but highly industrious and bullet-fast Japanese...and then getting bullied all over the pitch by the mighty Koreans!!
They managed to salvage some pride with a win over the Chinese, with only Kelvinder Singh and keeper Nasihin Nubli playing well!!
So, it comes as no suprise when they were thumped out of this world by the quite suprisingly classy French outfit 4-1.
The French have only ever qualified for the World Cup once, way back in 1990, but they did finish a very respectable 7th. They have always had problems qualifiying because of European giants Germany and Spain (only two places for Europe) and they looks hell-bent like taking advantage adn going all the way in China!!
*Note that the French team are the 4th ranked team in world indoor hockey!!*
Only GOD knows now wheter these lot who are clueless all over the pitch can still make it to Germany via the playoffs?
