t probably needs a bit of a look at and a readjustment given the way it was introduced.Well seek some clarity on that. Jarrad Waite
Indian mens hockey team conceded a late goal to lose 2-1 against reigning double Olympic champions Germany in their second Pool B match of the Rio Olympics on Monday.After weathering Indias attacks for the majority of the game, the Germans exerted tremendous pressure on the Indian defence in the final two minutes and stole the win with just 3.1 seconds from full time.Christopher Ruhr scored the winner for Germany with a deflection from close range to dash the PR Sreejesh-led sides hopes.Earlier, Germany took the lead against the run of play through a field goal from Niklas Wellen (18th minute) before Rupinder Pal Singh (23rd) drew parity for India by converting his third penalty corner of the Games.The win helped Germany keep their successful run intact against India since 1996. India last defeated Germany in Olympics way back in the Atlanta Games when they secured a 3-0 victory.Despite the loss, the Indians can take heart from the fact that they dished out a much better display against Germany today than what they managed in the recent past, which includes a 3-3 draw against a depleted German side in the Champions Trophy in London and 0-4 thrashing in Valencia just prior to the Olympics.India started the match as underdogs going by the recent record against the Germans, who were in search of their third successive Olympic gold, but it turned out to a very closely contested battle.It was 0-0 between the two sides after the first two quarters, with both teams showcasing some good attacking and defending skills.The Indians had the better share of exchanges in the first quarter and put the opposition under tremendous pressure midway through the first quarter, but the German defence did just enough to avert any crisis.It was India who had the first scoring chance in the 11th minute but Nikkin Thimmaiahs backhand shot from an Akashdeep Singh feed was padded away by an alert Nicolas Jacobi in front of German goal.In their opening encounter, India had defeated Ireland 3-2. They next face Argentina on Tuesday.? Buddy Hield Kings Jersey .

Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. http://www.nbakingsonline.com/Authentic-Mitch-Richmond-Kings-Jersey/ . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.

The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Frustrated St Kilda coach Alan Richardson will seek answers from the AFL after several questionable umpiring decisions during the Saints loss to North Melbourne.St Kildas finals chances all but evaporated with the 23-point loss at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night in Brent Harveys record-breaking 427th AFL game.Richardson agreed his side had been deficient in a number of areas but also noted his discontent with some umpiring decisions.Well look to get a bit of clarity on the below the knees contact - that was costly tonight, Richardson said.I reckon weve shifted a bit as an industry with how thats adjudicated at the minute.That was really designed to stop people getting their legs broken from someone who slid in from a fair way away, not someone who is desperately diving on the ball and happens to hit someone in the knee.And I reckon that probably needs a bit of a look at and a readjustment given the way it was introduced.Well seek some clarity on that. Jarrad Waite goaled from just such a free kick in a pivotal period of the game in the tthird quarter.ddddddddddddThe Saints were ninth going into the clash and desperately needed a win against the eighth-placed Roos to keep their slim finals chances alive.Richardson said he had briefed his players on how to approach a contest where so much was at stake on a night where an opposition player would be widely and loudly heralded.If were going to be any good as a footy team, and thats what we plan to be, we want to be in these sorts of games where theres a bit more than four points (on the line) ... theres a chance that you can prolong your season, he said.We want to be in those games.Our guys need to embrace the opportunity and the challenge. Last week (against the Western Bulldogs) was positive but we had too many who didnt get it done tonight against a quality team so we dont get the result, but there was still some positives.Well either be losers or learners and weve got a lot to learn from here.
