World Hockey League 2013 : Malaysia must win over England

 

Harimau Malaya a bit loose in the first action match against Pakistan tied 4-4 and then created a first victory 6-4 against South Africa should show actual rise against England today at 7.15 p.m (Malaysia Local Time). 

 

Paul Revington still not satisfied with the game but the triumph over South Africa made him think how to recreate another victory against England today.

All teams will continue to second round (losing dead match) but we must try to avoid to meet Argentina or Germany, only the victory will lead Malaysia in pool B.
