New Delhi: Going by current form, India is not in contention for a semifinal berth in the ongoing hockey World Cup and they would have to take their game altogether to a different level to reach the last four stage, according to Germany captain Maximillian Muller.
After blanking Canada 6-0, Muller picked three teams -- other than his own -- which looked good for the semifinals.
"I think England, Australia and the Netherlands are the favourites," said Muller.
"There are still chances for India but they have win against strong teams in their pool. They have to improve their performance in the remaining matches," he explained.
German coach Markus Weise said India's next match against Spain tomorrow would decide the home team's fate in the tournament.
"I have only seen India play on television and whatever I saw, I think India is doing good. But their match against Spain will be crucial," Weise said.
