or another and I have no idea what the issue is. They rarely if ever explain what happened. I don't see an obvious foul or anything that looked wrong but then there's a whistle and a turnover but no explanation about why.
I turned off field hockey after 20-30 minutes of being frustrated that I had no idea what the fouls were that were being called.

    - Exactly. They know the majority of people watching don't know the sport so help us out and give us the info we need to know what's going on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 07:33
