After a long time, Germany is now the new Hockey World Champion.
They won the final vs Belgium at the World Cup Hockey final in India.
It is a great achievement and comes to Germany after 17 years.

India just waited for this cup since 1975 - that is in another era!

Well we have been waiting for that since long.
The Tokyo Olympics Bronze had raised our hopes but to be factual, it takes a lot to beat Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium and England in Hockey.
Still hoping for better days.

It's not good either.
India won the Bronze in Tokyo Olympics, won many matches after that.
And their world rank was 6th at the tournament starting.
