Lucky game
We perform very well from the first until the last minute. Sometimes is a matter of luck and we were not lucky today.
That was Dilip Tirkey, captain of the Indian hockey team participating at Athens 2004, speaking after his side’s loss to Australia in a preliminary round match today. I wish that the Indians quit quoting ‘luck’ (or rather the lack of it) as a cause for their defeats!
I don’t hear them praising their luck when they manage to score a win. So why curse it in defeat?!
Stop whining and perform!!
