Live stream info and how to watch the medal matches in Olympics men’s field hockey from Rio 2016 online on Thursday, August 18
After the tournament started almost two weeks ago, the Olympics men’s field hockey competition will come to a close on Day 13 of the Games from Rio 2016. The bronze medal and gold medal matches will be played on Thursday, August 18. If there’s one thing that we’ve learned about this competition, though, it’s that anything can happen, meaning you won’t want to miss the action on Thursday.
In the bronze medal match of Olympics men’s field hockey, Netherlands will take on Germany in what should be a fantastic matchup. These two teams were the top-two seeds coming out of Group B in the preliminary round, but both suffered tough losses that caused them to fall short of the gold medal match. However, one of them can still find their way onto the podium. Of course, that will all depend on which team plays to their potential after a grueling tournament.
Finally, the gold medal will go to the winner of the match between Argentina and Belgium. The latter was expected to get to this point after the group stage as they were dominant in winning Group A. Argentina on the other hand is the bit of a dark horse in this competition, coming from third place in Group B to this point. That doesn’t matter now, though, and it’s one match for the top prize.
