There's a cracking game of women's hockey on the Beeb at the moment - GB vs Holland for the Gold Medal. GB were 1-0 up at the end of 1st quarter, but Netherlands equalised and then went ahead. GB have now equalised. Now 2-2 at half-time. These women are good. Never watched hockey before but there's a lot in common with football. Check out Unsworth, a sort of hockey version of Ashley Williams - oops! Oh what the hell, he's still Wales' centre-back.
Very enjoyable. Well worth watching. I recommend it to the House.

They are definitely superior. GB hardly in their half.
They aren't giving up. 3-3 now, against the run of play.

And so it is.
Unlike football, they get 8 seconds to go 25 yards and score (or not)
Better than footy

They used to do something similar in the NASL in the 70s. I think it's much more satisfying than a penalty kick.
GB have done it!! Well done the lasses! Gold medal champs
YeeessssssGOAL!!!!!2-0 GB gold!!!
Great performance by Hinch ......
One of the greatest GB Gold medal ever.
Bad night for The Krankies.
