Hockey World Cup Finals Will Be Played By Germany

England got defeated by Germany for the Hockey World Cup semi-finals. The final score between the teams was 4-1. Germany is a two time defending champion. They are hoping to now win the title again this year and if so it will be their third year. Germany won in the years 2002 and 2006.

In the sixth minute Jan-Marco Montag scored and when Jan scored that caused Germany to take the lead and Oliver Korn made another goal so in the 10th minute the score was 2-0. Richard Smith tried very hard in helping England to get back in the game with a goal that he did but it just was not enough for this team. Martin Haner faught hard and there was a penalty corner that Linus Butt rounded off in.

Pakistan was defeated by Canada in a game and they won 3-2. The game had to go into extra time and it caused the team to go into 11th place. It looks like that Germany will be faced with either Holland or Australia with the finals. Germany and the other possible teams that might win are all very good and so it is tough to say who will actually win the World Cup.
