Hockey World Cup: Germany's mentality monsters beat world's best Australia to reach final - ESPN India

I told my boys 'next time can we find some other way to win than in the last two seconds?'"

Speaking to the press, hattrick hero Gonzalo Peillat, once of Argentina, summed it all up perfectly.

Germany had more possession, but they were being 'very polite' with their chances as head coach Andre Henning described it in the half-time break.

It seemed Germany had done their job to take the match into a shootout.

Australia, who had five successful reviews in the match, pinged their hope on getting one last referral right.

Come Sunday, Belgium, the defending champions, await this inevitable machine... these mentality monsters who are determined to make their first final in 12 years count.
