Its a bit of a surprise that the Aussies are going for bronze but not a total shock by any means whatsoever.

Spain are a very good team and in Maurit Hendriks possess one of t
he best coaches in the world.
I thought they were in with a reasonable chance against the Aussies and I was proved right.

Also thought there may have been some complacency on the part of the Aussie think tank.
Barry Dancer was pleased to have drawn Spain rather than Germany but his comments that Spain were "more predictable" struck me as being very odd.
No team coached by Maurit Hendriks is "predictable". He always has tricks up his sleeve that he reveals at the most opportune moments.

Nobody also expected the Pakistani hockey team to finish a miserable 8th, their worst ever performance in Olympic Hockey.
