Australia vs Germany Hockey World Cup semifinal
The semifinal between Germany and Australia will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar. Whole Germany have been battle hardened in the World Cup as they have drawn against reigning World and Olympic champions Belgium and have beaten England in the shoot-out after scoring back-to-back goals in the last three minutes to push the game into the shoot-out.
Australia on the other hand have not really had clean games in this World Cup, be it against Argentina at the Group Stage or against Spain in the quarterfinal. However, the Aussie nature of fighting till not winning has been able to prove worthy for them so far. But will it also prove handy against the Germans is yet to be seen?
Belgium vs Netherlands Hockey World Cup Semifinal
Belgium will be up against the Netherlands in the second semifinal. This will be an intense European affair as both the teams have played enough against each other to know almost the in and outs of everything related to them. While the Dutch have had a smooth show throughout, losing to none, and not even knowing what pressure is, the Belgians fought hard against the Germans at the Group stage and were pushed hard by the Kiwis in the semi-final as well.
It will be interesting to see which team gets through to the final. The last edition’s finalists will no more compete in the final anymore.
