Malaysia fourth, but could still play in World Cup

KUANTAN is abuzz with 'news' that the International Hockey Federation (FIH) will yank the 2010 World Cup from India and hand it to Malaysia, as five countries have said they will not play in New Delhi due to security reasons.
Truth or hogwash? We will only know in one month's time when FIH break their silence.
MALAYSIA struggled 3-3 against China, and penalty strokes also went to 3-3, and then sudden-death, to decide the bronze medallists.
China hoists the Asia Cup Bronze........

THIRD-FOURTH:
MALAYSIA -- Ismail Abu (First minute), Chua Boon Huat (32nd),
Nabil Fiqri (64th),
CHINA -- Sang Yi (20th, penalty stroke), Song Yi (46th), Sung Long (66th),

FINAL:
PAKISTAN ----
SOUTH KOREA ---
