Germany trounces India

AMSTERDAM, JULY 2. Germany's Bjorn Michel scored a hat-trick as India crashed to its third successive defeat in the four-nation Rabobank hockey tournament here on Thursday.

Michel's goals in a 10-minute blitzkrieg helped his side emerge 4-0 winner and win a place in the final against Holland on Sunday.

After managing to put up a fight in the first half, during which they conceded a goal scored by Christopher Bechmann, the Indians hardly offered any resistance after the break as Michel went berserk converting three penalty corners.
