Below is a list of all Olympics 2016 Hockey broadcasters from across the world.

Overview

India, who are the dark horses of the tournament, suffered a 2-1 defeat to giants Netherlands in their last game on 11 August. Despite that loss they have qualified for the knock-out stages for the first time since the Moscow Games in 1980.

The Men In Blue are currently placed third in the table, with six points from four games, one point ahead of Argentina and even with one game left have booked their place in the knock-out game. Coach Roelmant Oltmans should be given credit for the vast improvement seen in such a short space of time, although he would want the players to step up especially when it comes to their defence.

The other worry for India is that a majority of their goals have come from penalty corners, and they will need key midfielder Sardar Singh to play to his potential and contribute in the offensive third.

Their opponents Canada have had a disastrous tournament so far, losing all of their games so far to be stuck at the bottom of the league table. In fact, such has been their performance that they have conceded 15 goals and only scored five.

The Canadians will be playing for pride with key players Scott Tuper, Mark Pearson, Matthew Guest and David Carter keen to show the world what they are capable of on the pitch.
