India, ranked fifth in the world, will be expected to advance to the quarterfinals from their group comprising Germany, Netherlands, Argentina, Ireland and Canada. Roberto Alomar Blue Jays Jersey . It is once they reach the last eight, and the quality of competition increases significantly, that their resolve will be tested.Indias recent performances have been marked by a defensive solidity that bodes well for the eight-time champions, but they have also shown a poor conversion rate of goal-scoring opportunities. If that problem can be sorted out, the team will be a handful for any opponent in Rio. Key players to keep an eye out on will be goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, defenders VR Raghunath, Rupinderpal Singh and Harmanpreet Singh, midfielders Manpreet Singh and Sardar Singh, and SV Sunil and Ramandeep Singh in attack.The teamGoalkeeper: PR Sreejesh (captain)Defenders: Harmanpreet Singh, Rupinderpal Singh, Kothajit Singh, Surender KumarMidfielders: Manpreet Singh, Sardar Singh, VR Raghunath, SK Uthappa, Danish Mujtaba, Devinder WalmikiForwards: SV Sunil (vice-captain), Akashdeep Singh, Chinglensana Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Nikkin ThimmaiahOn standby: Pardeep Mor, Vikas DahiyaThe key datesAugust 6-18How they got thereThe Indian mens hockey team qualified for the Olympics by winning the gold at the Incheon Asian Games in 2014.What they sayRoelant Oltmans (chief coach):?With our recent performances, we have shown the world that we can beat the best in the business and thats what we will aim at doing at the Olympics.ExtrasIndia is the most successful team at the Olympics with a tally of eight gold medals.

We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Toronto Blue Jays . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview.

Everyone has a bucket list - an absolute must-do experience before their time is up.For me - surprise surprise - its attending sporting venues to see the best of the best strut their stuff.America is littered with phenomenal sporting venues and each has a place in history for different reasons.The first - Madison Square Garden in downtown New York City.Myself and Hannah booked in to see the National Hockey Leagues New York Rangers against the famed Detroit Red Wings. My Adelaide teammates, Taylor Walker and Brad Crouch - both traveling the USA - joined us for the clash, which made the experience even greater!I had been to MSG two years ago for a pre-season NBA game and even though the venue biggest tenant was in action, the fact it was a pre-season game meant the crowd was only half full and half-baked when it came to cheering and supporting.In New York, basketball is king, while the NFLs Giants and Jets have a strong following in the Boroughs. However, the Rangers hold a special place in the citys heart and on this night, more than 18,000 flocked to support the team in a battle of two of the NHLs original six teams.Everything from the national anthem and pre-game introductions to the crowd interaction throughout the game lived up to MSGs reputation as The Worlds Most Famous Arena.Despite the Rangers going down 2-1, we all had a blast and when Mike Zibanejad scored in the second minute of the game, the Garden erupted and the chanting lasted until after the play had recommenced.Part of the attraction and enjoyment of attending an MSG event is before and after the game itself. Thousands eat and drink before the contest in the various pubs, bars and restaurants surrounding MSG which - unlike many major sporting venues - sits in the heart of Manhattan, easily accessible for the 8.4 million people who call New York home and the four South Australians enjoying a sporting holiday.Despite Hannahs cries to stay an extra few days in what is now her favourite city in the world, the following morning we jumped on a plane and headed for Green Bay - a world away from the hustle and bustle of NYC.As we descended into Green Bay on a tiny American Eagle jet, the only thing that captured our attention through the widows was mighty Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers.The township of Green Bay has a population of a mere 100,000, which makes it truly remarkable that its people can not only support, but allow an NFL team to flourish in its area. Green Bay is the Packers and the Packers are Green Bay.The Packers were born in 1919 and have resided in Green Bay ever since. They are 13-time chaampions and a whos who of Hall of Fame players and coaches have ome through the organisation. George Bell Blue Jays Jersey. nlike the other 31 teams in the NFL, the Packers are not a privately-owned team. The team actually has more than 350,000 s
