dont know july16 men single taufik or lindan....

Maybe they should come up with a China vs. the World instead. Asia vs. Europe is a waste coz Asia is clearly too strongIt is the truth that asia are really strong in badminton but i think to make badminton more popular,we should give some chances to other countries to perform and show their talented espiacally the american countries.I wonder why badminton is not so popular in the american countries compared to the asian.So,we should give them more chances.:)

In the American public's eyes, badminton takes a backseat to

Baseball
American Football
Hockey
Basketball

These sports are often what American children play growing up and take precedence in interest when it comes to the sports stations. As you can see, these sports are all ones that are run and televised within the US... I would believe many Americans dont pay much attention to the international sport scene unless it involves their own players (ie Olympics), especially when there are so many sports to watch with homegrown players.

So,we should give them more chances.:)

Americans need to give their badminton players more chances ;)

Ya,basketball are really really popular in america.Your analyse is correct.I think that every country have their representative sports like Brazil has football,american has basketball and the asian has badminton.You are right to say that the children in america seldom have chances to play badminton so they are unfamiliar with it.Actually,if someone can promote the badminton in american country,it surely will be very popular.

MVP 2006 should re-organize the matchup format, take the advantage of the players participating the event and form the equally strong/balance team from there. This event is really for fan so I don't think any one care about West beat East or vice verse. In this case, it would be nice to have :
Taufik & Jonassen in Group A and Lin Dan & Kalau in Group B, isn't that more exciting to have Taufik vs Lin Dan playing against each other twice potentially or put them aginst each other on Day 3 where more points are given?
IBF should also reconsider bringing back the Grand Prix Final as it's truely the best tournament in my opinion, I still vividly remember the match between Sun Jun vs Yong Hock Kin, what a show and what a sportmanship brought out by these two players. So many wonderful memories from the good old Grand Prix Final.

I'm already proposing for an Rest of the World vs China.

In that case, China is a bit over-rated. :mad: Li Yongbo will be a very happy man in the end. Not good!!!!!

I think it shall be Asia vs Rest of the World.

3.....still playing:confused:Huh,Taufik has be beaten by Kenneth?Why this happen?He is really not in good condition recently.I am a bit worried about him.Hope he can really be prepared for the WC,actually he is really a very strong player but do no why recently become like this?:confused: :confused:

Kinda expected...nothing at stake there...so Taufik can afford to play loosely as usual.In my opinion,i think that a professional player should be serious in every competition and not see it important.But i think Taufik didn't think like this lar,there are sure some factor there.:p

A great cooperations are shown in this MVP 2006...when Malaysian Choong Tan Fook helping Chinese coach Li Yong Bo to translate his advice in malay for Indonesian Taufik!!Wow, i am happy to see all the asian countries are so united.:) :)

shet, taufik lost to KENNETH JONASSEN!!! grrr!!! but still he's my no. 1 idol... :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

I want taufik to play the remaining singles match tomorrow (July 16, 2006)
...... i hope if he did, he will ensure a big win for asia...

"Kinda expected...nothing at stake there...so Taufik can afford to play loosely as usual."

Its US$60,000 to the winning team and $40,000 to the losing team. I wouldn't say Taufik was playing loosely. He simply lost to the world no.4. After, the team of emms trampled the team of S lee. Hmmm, not as lop-sided as last year. Will be intresting tomorrow.

tomorrow match(16 July 2006)
#Mixed Double-
Kennevic Asuncion/Kennie Asuncion(A) vs. Kamilla Rutter Juhl/Tomas Laybourn(E)
#3rd Men's Singles- team captain' option
#3rd women's Singles- team captain' option

I just saw KJ -TH match.. taufik made so many unfored errors,
his game was mostly based on defending today, he looked very relaxed, maybe too relaxed wich might explain all the easy errors..
kenneth did great though, but im 100% sure we will see a totaly diffrent Taufik in Madrid.

i don't think Taufik will be playing tomorrow...Lin Dan chances are more!!actually...Taufik did it quite well in 2nd game but he's kinda....weak in 3rd game!but the crowd are definitely in his side!!:D

it's an exhibition, no points at stake so everyone is taking it easy.

Most likely Zhang Ning and Lin Dan will be playing in the singles for team Asia and Kenneth Johannsen and Mia Audina playing for Asia.

Haha.. thanks Terry for correcting me. Most likely Kenneth Johannsen and Mia for Europe not Asia.
Again Mia looked tired after playing Wang Chen. Yao Jie might still have a chance to have a go at Zhang Ning tomorrow. Anyway we will see.

Hmmm, waiiiit a minute....is this our own ants(sitting on the left) in the pic??..;) :)

zhang ning lost to yao jie.. so sad.. lindan and kj are still playing.. rubber set.. looks like lin dan's taking it easy.Zhang Ning has lost?Its same situation with Taufik yesterday.Seem that they didn't put in all their effort,maybe they reserved energy for the Macau Open next week.Hope Lin Dan can win and asia can win.

This is JUST an exhibition match...plus extra pocket money for all the players. Nothing at stake...

This is JUST an exhibition match...plus extra pocket money for all the players. Nothing at stake...Ya,maybe you are right.This MVP cup is just giving them money,the coming Macau open is more important coz can help them in their ranking.:D :D

they lost, asia lost... my idol lost too (Taufk hidayat)!!

they lost, asia lost... my idol lost too (Taufk hidayat)!!What?:confused: Asia has lost to Europe???They lost how many point?LD win or lost?Take it easy of Taufik losing,i think he didn't use all his power in this match.:D :D For me,he is really a great player.Don't forgot,he is an olympic winner,this is a great honour,he had already prove himself.:p

:D wow....i'm speechless!!the Europeans prove that i'm definitely WRONG!!congratulations:D to the Europeans....Lin Dan keep on the good job!!he was so busy with his mobile just now!!:D

Upsets of the tournament: Yao Jie over Zhang Ning; Kenneth Jonahssen over Taufik Hidayat.

:D wow....i'm speechless!!the Europeans prove that i'm definitely WRONG!!congratulations:D to the Europeans....Lin Dan keep on the good job!!he was so busy with his mobile just now!!:DYa,the Europeans have proven that we are wrong,they are really something.Although i am supporting the asian,but anyway congrats to the Europe,you all did a good jod.I think in the MVP cup,the best player is LD,i think he did a good job this time although asian has lost.

The Europe team had more will to win compared to Asian and they are smart, scoring the points when matter...first day is only 1 point and they lost 3-0, 2nd day in 2 points for each win and they win 2-1 and last day the point is 3 for each win and they won 2-1.
The turnaround for Europe come from the ladies single. an exhausted Yao found the second wind in the rubber

All are winners. But of course it would be good if you are the Cup Holder its EXTRA $2000 in the pocket.

Yes, indeed all are winners including the fan. Brovo to the players and organizer able to make the best out of the situation. Looking forward to the MVP 2007

This is what I like most :

Li Yong Bo and Choong Tan Fook were there coaching Taufik during breaks! WOW! The Chinese head coach, coaching his ward’s rival, and a Malaysian champ, coaching someone from Indonesia!

The Malaysian should be as interpreter .........

to my eyes, that person doesn't look like ants.
Ants, was that you?

I know that guy in the middle though...

Congrats to Team Europe! When the MVP Cup began, everyone thought Team Asia would win, but the members of Team Europe were able to pull it off!!!

More MVP Cup pics and info at:
http://pinoybadminton.com.ph/mvpcup/

It was a good tournament. An upset for Asia but it's good to see tight competition between both groups. Yes, it was extra special to see Li Yong Bo give advice to Taufik through Choong Tan Fook. On the third day, Taufik was cheering and goofing around with Tan Fook when Zhang Ning won the 2nd set against Yao Jie.

Next year's MVP Cup should be a lot better for sure. =)

unsorted pics...........

..hmm, it wasn't really a surprise to me to see team Europe hold the Cup for the next yr..On that note, i know a lot of people would like to see the top players in the world competing, but personally, i would like to see a different set of players (for either team) given a chance playing next yr...;) :rolleyes: :cool:
**BTW, will this MVP Cup be an annual event & being host in Manila for the foreseable future??..:rolleyes: :confused:

Nice shock from Europe team, Congratulations! Pathetic performance showed by TH. Is it his quality as a world + olympic champ??? My goodness! TH played once and he LOST meanwhile LD played twice and he won twice too...I agree with the statement that said LD is the most consistent and very dependable shuttler in team competition.LD is more responsible than 'Mr.controversy' TH, excellence for his contribution in Asia team! Waiting another duel Asia against Europe on next MVP Cup-07...

MVP was joking yesterday that the next staging of the MVP Cup should be in europe :D

well whether it's in europe, asia or back in Manila, hope you guys can make it :)

Hi, how come that the European team won the MVP 2006? I thought Asian won most of the matches. Can someone post the whole result and explain me? Thanks in advance

i was disappointed with Zhang Ning. I expected her to win the game but eventually lost the 3rd game to Yao Gie. The ASIAn team could have won the MVP Cup 2006 if Zhang Ning won. But its okey..I still love her. Anyway its just a friendly game...

thanks for the info ...........
another maybe the one which was using by Kenneth J., the logo is ProKennex, but the racket maybe AT700 ?

the blog has been updated... some spicy info regarding the yellow cards and fans' reactions

http://pinoybadminton.com.ph/mvpcup

Well,don't be so dissapointed lar,anyway in my eyes,asian is the best!!!I think Kenneth Jonassan is a bit hot tempered.


you right kenneth jonassan is a bit hot tempered.he also not handsome,old and 'mengada-ngada'= he is 'orang tua mengada-ngada'.

if can i want affront him but i am kind,i not affront anyone and follow my heart because now i really in bad mood cause asia not win yesterday.:crying:

just dunno what KJ or his fans feels seeing your msg...i dont quite understand a few words....but not handsome and old doesn't mean anythg in badminton....sorry to say so!

Though i am an Asian, it's great to know that Team Europe won.

Congratulation! :)

Dunno why but i actually wanted them to win.

kennevic asuncion and lin dan are handsome men yesterday
kenneth and mia audina is ungly men and women yesterday

don't angry kenneth because when you angry your face became sooo ungly.

please please please... let's not have this thread locked.. please :(

just dunno what KJ or his fans feels seeing your msg...i dont quite understand a few words....but not handsome and old doesn't mean anythg in badminton....sorry to say so!

it okay.from yesterday-today i don't know why i still angry to him.i am so sorry for his fans.you don't know mean of 'orang tua mengada-ngada'...

Kj is actually a nice guy. All the players is human also.

he's quite funny on court too... he scolds himself a lot :D

he would go: "Kenneth!.. *mumble mumble mumble*..."

btw u didn't say zang ning pathetic :p
you can't blame taufik, he has played well, lost with 3 sets not bad, yes LD is the most consistent ,
i'mt disappointed with taufik :D, he has already been in IBF hall of fame, he's now a legend :rolleyes:

just dunno what KJ or his fans feels seeing your msg...i dont quite understand a few words....but not handsome and old doesn't mean anythg in badminton....sorry to say so!

it okay.Sorry for kj fans:p

Well done to the European team. They are the better team this time. I am looking forward to downloading the matches and watch them. Hopefully, someone will upload them soon. :) You guys shouldn't bad mouth the winner, Kenneth Jonassen. IMO, he is a very unique player. Someone who does not own any powerful shots or speed or skill. All he has is the 'never say die' attitude and he will run down every shot from his opponent. I can't recall having seen another player of this type who managed to climb as high in the World Ranking. As for his look, you might want to look at yourself in the mirror and ask this, 'can I be a supermodel?'. The rest speaks for itself. :D

Kwun, thanks for clarifying the racket used by Wang Chen. I thot I found a companion for my Cab20 from SOTX. :eek: :p

kennevic asuncion and lin dan are handsome men yesterday
kenneth and mia audina is ungly men and women yesterday

don't angry kenneth because when you angry your face became sooo ungly.
definitely agree with your 1st sentence...hahaha:D plus Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah too!!:D Yup...don't get some of your words....it's malay i guess!!:rolleyes:

you want i plus them in hansome or ugly category.yup it is malay words.
