[huangkwokhau]

4-2 for ENG....step up NOVA.....

[Tjun Tjun]

GL smashed into Gail's body, 10-6

[Krisna]

I think Nova needs to drink EnerJoss... His wife is draining energy from him...

[huangkwokhau]

from statistics....ENG has more net winner and no smash winner at all????good defence..than INA

[Tjun Tjun]

Gail could not reply sending the bird into the net, 7-11......

[Krisna]

Yess!!!! 5 ALL!!! Nova, your EnerJoss is working!

[huangkwokhau]

[Krisna]

Leading for the 1st time this game now... C'mon Nova!

[Tjun Tjun]

Service error by RN, 8-12, now 8-13......

[taufik-ist]

[huangkwokhau]

jesus Christ ! INA...16-17.....you should have won this set

[huangkwokhau]

18-17 for ENG............19-17 now..I think INA will lose...so pathetic performance

[taufik-ist]

nova/lilyana is gonna lose..

to many unforce errors

[ctjcad]

..and what in the badminton-world is happening??...There's a new mania in the world of badminton now??...Wacha-mania??...:p:D:confused:

By the way, the baconator is made of 6 slices of bacon on top of 2 x "1/4" pounds beef paddies. It is actually one of the most popular burger available in the U.S and Canada right now.:p Sometimes, I wonder how people can survive after eating 2 of that(850+ calories each) without the fries and the soft-drink to go along.:confused:
...i'm sure you've seen this??..hehe:p:eek:;)

I actually plan 2 years ago to attend WC07 in MAS (my home away from home), after attending WC05 but my daughter's final swimming season (she is retiring) ends the same time as WC07, that sucks, cos' LCW really has a good shot at winning it, so are MAS MD and TH final WC, but what the heck a dad can do, life is never easy. When WC07 starts, that gonna hurts and kills me, and I have to watch live-scoreboard again. ..hahaha!! sigh!!! :D:p
..OneToughBirdie, don't worry..I know you won't be attending, but the guys going there will try to make it a memorable WC for the rest of the guys who can't make it...;)..Speaking of going to WC...:p

[huangkwokhau]

INA lost...they deserve it...bad play after leading 15-11 to be left behing 15-17...I lost my PAW too

[LIMEY]

men doubles now! can't wait!:)

[Krisna]

Nova, you better upgrade yourself or PBSI will replace you...

[Krisna]

what ?????:confused:


EnerJoss is a type of energy drink in Indonesia. A competitor of Red Bull / Kratingdaeng... ;)

[CLELY]

Ough, very dissapointing performance. N/L lost, worst...

[badminto_expert]

I am also disappointed to them (Nova and Liliana). They won WC but after that very praud...

Because what happen? After won WC, Liliana and Nova want to leaving they are club (Tangkas) and want to join to Djarum... So after tangkas gave them car and money, They dicided to stay in Tangkas.... So This one not good players (They play only want money...).

Important thing: If they win alot of tournament,,, Money automaticaly come to them right... It not just won WC and then praud....

I think they can improve more. England and China better than them already.

Now, I hope LCW can beat LD again.

I hope also INA win for WD and MD.


Nova, you better upgrade yourself or PBSI will replace you...

[huangkwokhau]

FHF/CY crashes MAS MD 16-7

[V3i HoN6]

Cai Yun/Fu Hai Feng is gonna be nightmares of malaysian pairs, all of them malaysian MD.

[Tjun Tjun]

Malaysian pair totally outclassed in 1st set, losing 9-21.... hope they can give a better play in the next set for the sake of Malaysian fans......

[FU4EVA]

Fu/Cai won the 1st set

[ants]

Cai/Fu is too fast for the Msians. Their drives is too good.

[jgao_net]

looked more like a practice game for the chinese pair

[FU4EVA]

XXF leading hongkong YPY now 15-6

[madbad]

XXF is actually awake today. Up 15-6 over Yippy

[madbad]

CHN 5-2 MAS. No surprise here

[jgao_net]

cai is absolutely dominating the front of the court and fu...well we all know what he does best

[madbad]

XXF hammers Yippy 21-6. Whoa!
CHN 7-6 MAS

[badmad]

CHN 5-2 MAS. No surprise here

chinese MD pair is screwing malayasian players... malayasian players are way too slow...

[kwun]

Cai Yun is ON FIRE!!!

that trick shot was naughty.

[madbad]

MAS hanging tough in the 2nd game down 9-11
XXF 4-3 Yippy

[madbad]

Yippy doing much better 5-5

[kwun]

i have to say that i have never ever seen Cai/Fu play like this. the coordination is out of this world. Cai's net shots are much more instinctive and Fu is flying higher and higher.

their tactical awareness also improved dramatically. no longer are they the smash smash smash type.

but then, it is also the case that their opponent is rather slow comparatively.

[madbad]

Yippy extends her lead to 9-6

[ants]

Malaysia has been humiliated.. :(

[badmad]

tan/ong is too passive... they are just feeding it to cai/fu... :mad:

[huangkwokhau]

come on..YIP....take this set

[badmad]

i just hope that lcw has a good match... his must be next...

[hcyong]

Cai/Fu are incredible but I have half the thought that they look great because their opponents are unfortunately inadequate.

[Tjun Tjun]

Malaysian pair did not do much better in 2nd set, losing quite tamely 21-15.... now for the men's singles......

[badmad]

cai/fu wrapped up the match in no time... 21-9 21-15 ...

[huangkwokhau]

come the match of the day: LCW vs LD

[FU4EVA]

Fu/Cai won 21-9 21-15

[niezzam6177]

Cai/Fu played well, they forced MAS to lift by controlling the net area...

Mas pair looked nervous

[huangkwokhau]

cai/fu wrapped up the match in no time... 21-9 21-15 ...
Are you in Bollywood or Hollywood or cowboyhood now???:D

[armortecfans]

Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng really played well. Congratulations!
I was surprised that Tan/Ong didn't play well as I expected.
Cai/Fu will face Indonesian pair now, and most probably Hendra/Kido. However, Hendra/Kido have better chance again Cai/Fu, compared to Luluk/Alven.

[madbad]

XXF putting her foot down on the pedal up 18-14
The big boys are on court

[kwun]

the MAS pair is still young. much experience and skills to be gained in the future.

Cai/Fu display is impressive and they show that they totally deserve to be reigning champions. their game improved from their old one-dimensional offensive game.

now... the match that we are all waiting for...

[cooler]

the match of the day is coming up, ld vs lcw:)

[badmad]

lcw looks good in orange t-shirt... man, we should have some good match otherwise it will be waste of time being awake so late...

[huangkwokhau]

XXF is showing no mercy to YPY....in 2 sets

[madbad]

But first let's see if XXF can fisnish Yippy so that she can get into her seat for the big match. She does 21-6, 21-16

[ctjcad]

Cai/Fu are incredible but I have half the thought that they look great because their opponents are unfortunately inadequate.

..at the right time with about a month to go before the WC...hmm..

Cai/Fu played well, they forced MAS to lift by controlling the net area...
..and that is the key..;)

[madbad]

LCW draws first blood 1-0

[jgao_net]

this game better be good, so far it's been a landslide for the chinese

[V3i HoN6]

They've been like that since the last Sudirman cup.
Cai Yun is fast and very active in front while still very sharp while he is in the back court smashing.


Cai/Fu are incredible but I have half the thought that they look great because their opponents are unfortunately inadequate.

In that case, none of the pairs today are adequate opponents to them now.

[bradja23]

Have you got a link to see these wondeful matches?
Thanks.

[madbad]

And here comes the rock star WACHA

[huangkwokhau]

Why they are showing 2 MS matches as the same time...hard to concentrate...!!!

[LIMEY]

during the MD match, someone actually asked how the malaysian pairs managed to get into the semifinals. that's becos they drew a good lot and they managed to beat two not very good european pairs and one japanese pair:):)

[kwun]

LD looks really serious.

he no longer has that arrogant air in him.

perhaps that what LYB was refering to.

[madbad]

LD looks really serious.

[huangkwokhau]

[madbad]

[huangkwokhau]

[badmad]

lcw has become darn good... i hv not been following him for a long time it seems... :p

[madbad]

LD attempting to come back down 13-16

[wynn000]

Chong Hann go go go

[arcaloveher]

Wohoo! C'mon LCW AND WCH!

[taufik-ist]

LCW is on fire.. lin dan is in water :)

[Tjun Tjun]

1st set goes to Lee Chong Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!:D:D:D

[huangkwokhau]

wacha evens the game now...15 all

[madbad]

Wacha catches up to 15-15

[ants]

LCW is playing well and calm. LD is making alot of errors. LCW seems to know where LDs shuttle wants to go.

[LIMEY]

LYB looks so angry and grouchy when LD lost the first set

[jgao_net]

lcw is dominating the front of the net, that's how he's getting the majority of his points....plus the fact that ld is making some un-characteristic errors

[taufik-ist]

super wacha is ready to take off......... 16:15

[Dreamzz]

yeah, LCW looks like he's much more confident now playing against LD. very controlled performance.

[V3i HoN6]

who is commentator right now on TV????
One of them is the former coach of China but both of them are chinese for sure.
But i couldn't blame them as I'm bias too if my countryman is playing hard for us.

LCW took the first set.

[badmad]

lin dan is in water :)


not really... if lin dan is in water, then what wud say about malayasian MD pair... in ice cubes?? ;)

[madbad]

Let's follow the other match:
Wacha 17-17 WCH. Very close indeed

[Dzgdz]

when Wacha started well he can go far

GOOO

[LIMEY]

i'm not surprised that LD lost the first set. he's standing on the unfavourable court. just hope that he can make a comeback in the second set

[cooler]

ya, ld look like he out of ideas to handle lcw

[madbad]

Wacha pulls ahead 19-17. This is amazing

[Dzgdz]

18/17 wacha!!

go

[flymordecai]

Why is Lin Dan playing like Taufik?

[wynn000]

oo no WCH seem goin to lost 1 set

[Wai Shing]

LD looks really serious.

he no longer has that arrogant air in him.

perhaps that what LYB was refering to.

I disagree kwun, I think Lin has lost "fire" to his spirit...I personally think it's impeding him

[ants]

Wong CH made alot the errors last minute in the 1st set..

[madbad]

And Wacha wins 21-17. The story gets better and better

[taufik-ist]

wacha...

a red carpet is waiting for you , to welcome you home :)

[Dzgdz]

yes he won!!

first game

[huangkwokhau]

21-17 1st game

[pauline]

Wacha wins the 1st set.
go go Chong Hann!

[madbad]

LCW 4-5 LD. Let's see if LD can capitalize

[ants]

Wacha playing well defensively.. trying to make WCH run from side to side.

[taufik-ist]

Why is Lin Dan playing like Taufik?

like taufik ? :)... a lazy style :)

[madbad]

WCH out to an early 3-0 lead. Big test now for the veteran

[Dzgdz]

is this possible to watch it live?

anyone mind to help?

thanks

[madbad]

WCH 13-10 Wacha. If Wacha can keep it close, who knows

[sickgal]

lin is leading by 16 to 11...looks like there'll be rubber game..

[huangkwokhau]

I can understand only 25% mandarin.....haiya

[carine]

lcw n wch gogogo....

[wynn000]

[madbad]

Looks like LD is now energized 17-11
WCH 14-10 Wacha

[ants]

Lindan up his tempo. LCW have to step up.

[Jasonvan]

17-11 go LD!!!!!!

[sickgal]

18-11... oh my....what is lcw thinking.... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[huangkwokhau]

LD's net smash is pretty good

[wynn000]

[carine]

16-11 for wch nw.....

[madbad]

Both matches heading for rubber games
LD 19-12 LCW
WCH 17-11 Wacha

[huangkwokhau]

LD is so fierce in smashing into LCW's body

[LIMEY]

LD's net smash is pretty good
everyone's smash will be good if the shuttle is near the net. i would say that TH and LCW is much better

[taufik-ist]

wacha is landing :).......

[Jasonvan]

20-14... another comeback like yesterday, go LD!

[ants]

I think its the side of the court. Wacha is now doing the same mistakes that WCH did earlier. The wind seems to be stronger on the left side.

[sickgal]

14-20....
wch is leading 20-11..looks like the 2 msian players has different fate in these 2 games

[madbad]

LD polishes off LCW rather easily 21-14, as does WCH over Wacha 21-13

[carine]

wch won 2nd set 21-13

[Jasonvan]

21-14 LD takes second set... go LD!!!!!!

[huangkwokhau]

[sickgal]

i'm wondering will there be any chance that tmr will be all msian final ms???

mmm.... not likely i presume.....

[Dreamzz]

looks like LYB talked some sense into LD.
3rd set should be interesting.

[huangkwokhau]

LYB is giving instruction......

[LIMEY]

final set! final set! i would be surprised if anyone of them wins with straight set

[madbad]

WCH 4-3 Wacha
LCW 1-2 LD

[taufik-ist]

all go to rubber.....I hope CCTV broadcast Yuyang/Du Jing vs butet/Marissa

[phaarix]

COME ON LCW!!! Don't let me down :) (well to be honest he hasn't let me down even if he does lose, he's played great so far anyway).

[taufik-ist]

cmon... wacha........

[madbad]

LD meaning business up 5-3
WCH figured out Wacha up 10-3

[madbad]

LCW sticks to LD down 5-6
Wacha on a mini run 5-10

[ants]

Wong CH is playing smart now.. not going head to head with Wacha. He is now controlling the match much better. He is more careful on the baseline shots compare to 1st set.

[huangkwokhau]

LCW has 2 good deceptive plays

[taufik-ist]

wacha................

[ants]

LCW have to play more aggresive.
