India Must Beat Argentina By Two Goals For Semifinal
Explained: What Does India's Men's Hockey Team Need To Do Against Argentina To Qualify For World Cup SF · timesnownews.com

India’s men’s hockey team is trying to reach the World Cup semifinals.

To do that, India must beat Argentina.

Winning by two or more goals would be enough to keep India’s hopes alive.

Winning by only one goal would not be enough.

In that situation, Argentina would still have the better goal difference.

Goal difference compares how many goals a team scores with how many it allows.

India’s fate is now in its own hands.

The result of another match will also matter to the qualification picture.
