CCTV5 is showing volleyball, anybody knows where the live streaming is?

[huangkwokhau]

Off topic, just trying to help out ... what's your Internet connection speed? Which OS and Media Player version do you run? Do you have the right codec installed?

I'm running XP SP2, WMP 9, I played around a little bit with WMP settings, and I also installed klcodec320f, TVANTS works great.

One Care program keeps blocking it/.....

Thanks for your help!!

[DoublesPlayer]

what happened? what did they do?

yellow card for ENG

[baldybodhi]

not easy i hope they can make it..:)

[pjswift]

Even though Lin Dan has not been playing well lately, but I believe he still has enough to beat Andrew Smith tomorrow and gain an important point towards China's victory.:D

The best explaination of Lin Dan's recent drop in form...

After XXF's victory at the All England, Lin Dan gave her a kiss in front of the crowd. Now that one kiss is actually a transfer of power just like in those old fashion martial arts novels. According to the theory, it takes a minimum of a few months to a year to re-gain full power once again. Meanwhile, with the additional power received from Lin Dan, XXF will be the complete unstoppable player until she retires.:p
Problem is XXF hasn't won a title since AE07. In fact she crashed out to a qualifier in IO07.Maybe the theory need to be modernised.Like there is a time lag of 3 months (when it's CO07) for the transfer of power to take effect since this is badminton and not martial arts. So expect XXF to win CO07 and LD to crash out? But that means the golden couple's not in snyc.Doesn't sound like a good novel ending.Rewrite pls.

[samuel882]

wah.. GE have a good defense

[samuel882]

what happened? what did they do?

NR returned the shuttle very rude to INA

[samuel882]

INA please stop playin suicide games by sending the shutlle so high

[DoublesPlayer]

Wow, sometimes NR can't control his emotion


NR returned the shuttle very rude to INA

[nugroho]

where can i see it?

[Baderz_Jas]

NR returned the shuttle very rude to INA

I know! :mad: He was driving the shuttle under the net! :mad:

[kwun]

Wow, sometimes NR can't control his emotion

most of the time. :)

[Baderz_Jas]

YES! 18-14 for INA

[baldybodhi]

18-14!!! yuppy go on!!

[h3nry]

18-14 for ina,gogo...

[kwun]

I know! :mad: He was driving the shuttle under the net! :mad:

good, Nova/Lilyana is kicking their butt now, 19-14.

[vince00]

what if he get another yellow?

[DoublesPlayer]

i think that's their style ... they are not an excellent offensive pair ... Nova is not a strong smasher either ... but it's good that Butet is pretty strong so it makes it quite balance


INA please stop playin suicide games by sending the shutlle so high

[samuel882]

INA will win this set..

[pjswift]

what happened? what did they do?
NR whacked shuttle on the floor in anger. Umpire's a matron. He's gotta be careful. She's got the red one ready for the crucial point.

[baldybodhi]

19-15!! 2 points left

[baldybodhi]

19-17..why?..eng try to make it...

[samuel882]

what if he get another yellow?
2 yellow --> 1 red card --? 1 oint deductions

[DoublesPlayer]

If INA wins the XD, they have a pretty good chance ... as at least it may be 2 - 1 for INA after WS and MS

[baldybodhi]

again?? 19-18 what happened to NoLyn??

[Baderz_Jas]

AIYA! 18-19 now! ~!

[Lx2_Oddkinsonz]

[samuel882]

11-6 interval in Eng flavour

[baldybodhi]

[huangkwokhau]

England's coach, Ian wright was right...the burden is on INA as Eng has nothing to lose....Being a semifinal is great achievement for ENG...anything beyond that is a great Bonus...come on INA!!!

[baldybodhi]

[huangkwokhau]

[samuel882]

INA 80 % will lose this point in XD

[baldybodhi]

Yup.. after they make some 'big applause' when they beat Malaysia 3-2!!

[Baderz_Jas]

ENG's pulling away! 13-8

[samuel882]

14-8... half way near

[pjswift]

the racquet over the net? another bad call by the empire!
Yep . Replay showed umpire wrong. Maybe she felt guilty about the yellow card. But in the 1st game, there was a very bad line call (verified by replay) against INA. If it had been right, INA would have won 1st game already. INA deserve to win this but let's see whether they can come back.

[vince00]

7 point lead for ENG

[samuel882]

16-9 .. Almost Finished?
Hopes For Miracle!

[vince00]

Lets finish it off ENG

[huangkwokhau]

Bye bye INA for XD..tough to catch up...

[Baderz_Jas]

[huangkwokhau]

ENG won tight games.....too bad for INA..still close..1-0 for ENG

[zqloy]

Nova seriously has some awful serves, my goodness! Gave away too many free points!

[cooler]

i dun fink LYB will field BCL for the final. Coz he is not a very good team player.. and also lack of confidence sometimes......
that's because his cell phone suddenly disappeared;)

[Speed & Power]

Holy smokes....ENG pair won the thriller, fighting off Indon comeback...Great job lasses!!!

[huangkwokhau]

62 minutes...one minute shorter than LD vs SSM (63 minutes)....I can guess the wild applause for UK team now

[vince00]

I want to watch replay

[shuttlejunkie]

Total respect to Gail + Nathan !

Well done

[baldybodhi]

lets hope some miracle for maria

[samuel882]

[vince00]

that's because his cell phone suddenly disappeared;)


Who's cell phone?

[ctjcad]

Nova seriously has some awful serves, my goodness! Gave away too many free points!
...aiyoyo...wow, missed it...woke up to catch the webcast but they're showing soccer instead:p.....So, the INA XD did lost, as expected, as this could be the crucial match....Again, Nova just can't perform in this kind of situation...Pressure is definitely building up now....:rolleyes::p

[vince00]

is it Lin Dan's cell phone? how do you know?

[huangkwokhau]

Who's cell phone?

Bao Chun Lai's mobile

[baldybodhi]

forget the past..now lets see how maria can do her part..

[keanny]

oh no... i hate this -.-

[huangkwokhau]

Tough for Maria..hopefully she can win....

[V3i HoN6]

Luckily the WS go first.
Please make it to rubber set.
I wanna see Taufik plays.

[ycchen]

an entertaining but not very high quality game. both sides made quite a number of unforced errors. i am impressed by Nathan's jumping smash. but i am sure china's XD will not feed him so many high balls "if" ENG is to meet CHN in final... i still think INA will win 3-2... :)

[samuel882]

IT will be a disaster IF iNA lost this SF, then v r goin to watch CHN vs ENG tomorrow in final !!

[vince00]

Any online TV yet? Or have to wait until 2am China time?

[FU4EVA]

England is on the way to create history

[vince00]

IT will be a disaster IF iNA lost this SF, then v r goin to watch CHN vs ENG tomorrow in final !!


If so China will win 3-0 or 3-1 if XD playing first

[cooler]

Who's cell phone?
there is a theory that BCL's team mates tease BCL by hiding BCL's cell phone and then BCL would get all nervous and lose confident. There is a whole thread on this. It's like Linus losing his blanket:D

[ycchen]

i predict Tracey will take this point but the final 3 matches will be won by INA...

[baldybodhi]

anything possible
no one predicted that Eng can beat Malaysia, right?..

[huangkwokhau]

England is on the way to create history

can be..prefer not..otherwise it will be boring final....:D:D

[keanny]

hope maria can make it huhu =)

[h3nry]

if Maria lose fr Tracey,it'll be not good position for INA.. :( really hope for Taufik..

[tommy_bun]

England is on the way to create history

Hope they do....

[baldybodhi]

12.20 am indonesian time
and for the 1st time i still wake up just to give ina some support!!

[samuel882]

MAS vs ENG is actually a 50-50 match..
MAS team dont have world beaters in Womens category yet

[shenron]

match between ENG and INA....team who got first point in XD will be an advantage...less pressure.

[keanny]

5-0 -.- geezz what is she thinking -.-

[vince_kan]

wah so fast race to 5 - 0 lead...

[ctjcad]

The team-sheet for INA vs ENG is out....quite expected...except for one:
XD: Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir vs Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms -- very very crucial tie!! As I said, if INA were to take this one, its all over for England. I think the INA coaches also agree that INA could lose this point and hope that the match goes to 3 sets to make Gail Emms exhausted. 1-0 to ENG.

WD: Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa vs Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg -- looks like INA forces Gail Emms to come out earlier by playing this as the 4th match. INA has to take this point as well to level it at 2-2.

MD: Candra Wijaya/Markis Kido vs Anthony Clark/Robert Blair -- as expected, INA doesn't dare to field Kido/Hendra because of their inferior record against Clark/Blair. But I thought Alvent Yulianto will be a wiser choise :rolleyes: Perhaps, they need Kido's smashes? So, if this is the decider, Candra Wijaya will definitely have to play a very very important role here :cool:
..looks like they are strategizing and somewhat gambling quite a lot, esp. when looking at this lineup...:rolleyes:...
INA should've fielded MS as the 2nd event and pulledthe WD match as the 3rd match...:p
The MD looks like what i envisioned a while back, prior to the SC, that Candra will act as the "wild card", whilst playing with different partners. I guess Alvent and now Markis will play as Candra's complimentary players as the "tukang gebuk shuttle"(smasher)..:p:D:rolleyes:
Oh well, good luck to them....:p:)

[tommy_bun]

can be..prefer not..otherwise it will be boring final....:D:D

At least I dont have to pray more cos China will take The SC for sure if they meet England:p:p

[samuel882]

i predicted WD wll be the crucial match.. another 50-50 games

[huangkwokhau]

Hallam is racing away 5-0

[baldybodhi]

0-5... what happened to Maria?
she stuck..

Thanks for remembering that.

Actually this time, Li Yongbo had ordered that BCL could not bring his cell phone with him to Scotland. and maybe in the future, BCL should not bring his cell phone with him to any tournament. There is no joke. It is official!

[samuel882]

y most of the ENG women players are SO chubby
