With all win record, reigning double Olympic Champions Germany took their appointed quarter final berth even as two more matches are to come in their Pool.

Germany defeated Canada 6-2 in the event opener and then came out of Indian clutches with a mercurial last seconds goals before again winning a tight match against Ireland yesterday.

The Netherlands are also going steadily. Despite drawing continental champions Argentina 3-3 in the opener came out with colour in two subsequent encounters. The Dutch got whitewashed Ireland 5-0 and Canada 7-0. With seven points they are second in the pool.

Providing twists and turns, India stands at three with two wins and a loss. India lost to Germany 2-3, defeated Argentina 2-1 in the third match after narrow win in the opener against Ireland.

With a point, both Netherlands and India can easily move to the knockout, though the case of Netherlands is solid as of not.

India looks to get more points as it will face lowly ranked but spirited Canada in its last match.

Argentina, with a win, draw and loss is fourth in the table.
