Let the games begin

Hello everyone! If I am correct the Asian games have already started. So what do you say if we talk about sports? I am going to talk about hockey which is the national sport of India. The game is played between two teams of eleven players and five substitutes. The match is divided in two halves of 35 minutes. There are four positions: fullback(defense), miedfielder, forward and the goalkeeper. And there are also specific rules for example there is a penalty card system: the green card means an official warning, the yellow card is a temporary suspension and the red card means a permanent exclusion and also corners, free hits, and penalty strokes are awarded during fowls. The Indian hockey team is one of the best teams, it is currently in the 9th place in the FIH, Fédération Internationale de Hockey, (International Hockey Federation). The team has won its first Olympic gold medal in 1928. It has won 8 gold medals, 1 silver, and 2 bronze in the Olympic games. The team's captain is Rajbal Singh and the team is coached by Jose Brasa. What about you, in Hong Kong? What kind of sports do you play?
