    England vs Spain - Men's Rabobank Hockey World Cup 2014 Hague Pool A [31/5/2014]

    'The third men's game of day one of the 2014 Rabobank Hockey World Cup saw England take on Spain.

    England made a fantastic start and opened the scoring through Alistair Brogdon's blistering strike in just the 5th minute. England came close to a second in the 15th minute when Barry Middleton's shot hit the post, and then managed to survive a few defensive lapses to reach half time with their 1-0 lead intact.

    Spain didn't waste time in levelling the scores and Eduard Tabau scored from a speculative long shot in the 37th minute which England contested with an unsuccessful video referral. The game began to swing back and forth rapidly and England again hit the post, followed immediately by Spain's David Alegre hitting the sideboard after a mazy run. Neither team were able to break the deadlock in the tightly contested second half and had to settle for 1 point each.

    England took on Malaysia in Group A as they looked to continue their unbeaten run and heap more misery on the winless Malaysians and it didn't take long for England to take lead with a great team goal. Great vision from Jackson saw him pick out Middleton outside the box with a lovely cross field ball, a clever reverse ball found Gleghorne deep inside the Malaysia box and a clever finish from the England player gave the goal keeper no chance. Malaysia had to withstand heavy pressure from England for the rest of the first half and were lucky not to concede second.

    England continued to pile on the pressure in the second half but their frustration continued, with Middelton and Brogdon going closest. But with only a slender advantage England started looking a bit vulnerable to a goal that would cruelly deny them the win but with five minutes to go they made their dominance tell. A penalty corner set up Jackson on the edge of the box who sealed the win with a powerful effort into the roof of the net, putting England temporarily at the top of Group A.

    Two countries famed for their sporting rivalry met in day 7, game 4 of the men's draw -- England v Australia. Stakes were even higher too with the winners of the match going a long way to booking themselves an all-important place in the next round.

    A dream start for Australia saw them take the lead though in the opening 30 seconds of the half when England were caught napping and Matt Gohdes made them pay. De Young's second must have had England beginning to worry after he tapped in from Ciriello's saved penalty corner but nothing could have prepared England for what was about to follow. Dwyer tapped in a third before Govers scored a goal of the tournament candidate just on the half time whistle.

    England's misery didn't stop there though as three minutes after the restart as Zalewski made it 5 for Australia. The Kookaburras superiority was made further evident as they continued to press and look for the sixth but England had their goalkeeper to thank as he kept the Aussies at bay on a couple of occasion from penalty corners. But the damage had already had already been done and Australia maintained their unbeaten record, beating their great rivals in some style.
