Rapido

Watching hockey refs trying to communicate through their ear pieces, in their second language, while a techno disco blasts out of the PA, makes great telly .

Should be a sport in itself.

Damn, Japan scores.

Stargazer

Yess, the Black Sticks score! 1 all

Stargazer

And they score another one!!

The Black Sticks lead 2 - 1!

Stargazer

Half time score: Black Sticks women 2 - 1 Japan

Stargazer

Great defence from the Black Sticks; the Japanese not able - thus far - to convert penalty corners into points.

We are down one in the bin for 5 minutes

Stargazer

Are they always so quick to show cards in hockey?

I dunno, I only watch at Oly and Comm games time! The Japanese girl was away and running so fair enough I guess

Stargazer

Still 2 - 1 to the Black Sticks at the end of the 3rd quarter.

canefan

We need another goal to give us some breathing space

canefan

We are getting clumsy. Japan making the running right now

Stargazer

We're lucky that Japan have not scored of single penalty corner.

I find it so stupid in hockey that a team can get a penalty corner by hitting the ball against an opposition player's ankle.

Stargazer

Good use of the referral.

Stargazer

Yesss, the Black Sticks win again! Close and entertaining game.

Full time score: NZL 2 - 1 Japan

I thought Tom Daly had retired. That’s terrific that he finally won gold. Remember him as a 14 year old at the 2008 Olympics.
