The Lionesses, unstoppable
The Argentine field hockey team, Las Leonas, achieved their sixth consecutive victory in as many games in the FIH Pro League by beating their pair from the United States 3-0 at Cenard.
In the Argentine team’s farewell to its people before the World Cup that Spain and the Netherlands will jointly organize next July (the previous stage will include a 10-game tour of Europe to try to win the Pro League), the Argentine team rounded off a good performance with two goals from Victoria Granatto and the rest from Rocío Sánchez Moccia.
The ultimate goal of the team led by Fernando Ferrara is to reach its third World Cup title, after those achieved in Perth (Australia) 2002 and Rosario 2010.
With this victory over the Americans, the Argentine team settled in third place in the FIH Pro League with 18 points, four less than the leader India, who has two more games played, so Las Leonas could overtake them.
The national team will travel to Europe in three weeks to face Spain, China, Germany, the Netherlands and India in the first instance, and then there will be another five games before reaching July 1, the day the World Cup starts, perhaps with the first title in its history in the Pro League loaded in its bags.
