Team INA will now face SIN in the playoff tomorrow. SIN has quality players in the GS, while INA should win the points from BD, GD and XD.

Ashton is better than Adi... Adi is not particularly fancy in INA's Junior Badminton World. Nandang Arief is better... :p I don't know why Marleve chose Adi and Febe... :confused: Nandang and Pia is better at this time... Complacency? :confused: Or just a strategy to rest the top guns? :confused: Anyway, INA should get the BD and XD, I am not too worried... ;) SIN does not have enough ammunition in those 2 categories against INA...

[Krisna]

Tanongsak is awesome... I think he is extremely potential. He will be the successor to Boonsak.

[Sandy]

INA - SIN 2-2

Wifqy/Afiat won 21-16 21-15

Nandang played badly won in 3 sets yesterday, I think he isn't good form.
Watched Nandang vs Adi in Jakarta Open Final this year, Nandang is much better than Adi.

Marleve chosed Febe is right, so Pia can focus in Double (and she did well, give 1 point in XD). Pia or Febe would be lost against Xing

[badMania]

In the airport lounge now....ouch...INA lost to SIN 2-3 :eek:

[PlayaFromMalaya]

wait..no denmark?

[Krisna]

Yeah... somehow... Denmark decided not to field any Junior team this year... Maybe no money or maybe no good Danish Juniors or maybe they thought the Denmark Super Series is more important or what... [even though I saw that most of the European Junior Champions are still from Denmark...]

[jug8man]

Arif's 2007 WJC campaign is in jeapordy... BWF websites reported him injuring his GROIN :eek: during the match................

[Dreamzz]

hmmm, if arif is injured, then that's a shame. i was looking forward to seeing him do well this time, he had a good asian junior championship.

INA lost to SIN, now that's a surprise, some heads are going to roll for this!

[PlayaFromMalaya]

anyone figured out how to watch the team events on planetstream.tv?

[Loh]

Oh no, INA crashed... and by our tiny neighbour SIN... INA shold reconsider acquiring SIN as our 33rd province... He he he... Just kidding...

So we are getting some results from our foreign talent policy, but we still have a long way to go...! :)

And thanks to both powerhouses China and Indonesia, our youths are learning well from their talented foreign coaches as well :D:D:D!

Singapore has to be different and in management and resource allocation, we are different from big brother Indonesia.

[Yojimbo]

Arif injured..? That's a shame.....I hope that it's not that serious...MAS is going to face China in the semis...I really hope that he's ok.

[samuel882]

Next China will be big headache..MS no more 50/50 judging by the score Arif lost to the THA single

don't forget the tiny little boy, Lim fang Yang ;)

[samuel882]

Looking on their Lines-up , i suspected SIN have actually imported "CHina" players :cool:

[ixory]

arif injured???,i hope it not so serious..:(

[Loh]

Looking on their Lines-up , i suspected SIN have actually imported "CHina" players :cool:

Of course we have imported the girls when they were about 12-13 years old and developed them to this stage. This is what we call 'foreign talent'. And we import the talented coaches as well, just like Malaysia! :rolleyes:

But I'm most happy that our local boys are up to the task now. :cool:

[Yojimbo]

Anyways.....how does the team event work? There are so many teams...which countries can get to the final? Sorry for my ignorance.

[Dreamzz]

Not an unpleasant surprise to Singapore fans, I agree. :)

yup, they are doing well, INA is always a big scalp.
well done!

[Yojimbo]

don't forget the tiny little boy, Lim fang Yang ;)
Lim Fang Yang....is he going to replace Arif in the match against China?:eek: If I'm not mistaken....LFY was trashed by Chen Long in the AJC...:(

[PlayaFromMalaya]

yup he was thrashed by chen long..

[Tjun Tjun]

I don't know why Arif lost so easily..Maybe conserving energy for tomorrow..Hope he will play seriously tomorrow...

This is taken from BWF's website:

Malaysia’s singles coach Sun Chenhua said Arif is doubtful for the semi-final tie on Saturday after he strained his groin in the match.

“He is in pain when he walks and we will wait until tomorrow to see if he recovers. If the pain persists, we will not field him,” said Sun.

“We are the underdogs against China as they have two strong singles players, and with Arif’s injury, China are the favourites.”

[Krisna]

So we are getting some results from our foreign talent policy, but we still have a long way to go...! :)

And thanks to both powerhouses China and Indonesia, our youths are learning well from their talented foreign coaches as well :D:D:D!

Singapore has to be different and in management and resource allocation, we are different from big brother Indonesia.

I respect what SIN is doing... If I were the one in charge of SIN badminton development, I would do exactly the same thing... :p Whoever is doing it over there, I give 2 thumbs up! ;)


Of course we have imported the girls when they were about 12-13 years old and developed them to this stage. This is what we call 'foreign talent'. And we import the talented coaches as well, just like Malaysia! :rolleyes:

But I'm most happy that our local boys are up to the task now. :cool:

Singapore citizens are almost all imports from either China, India, Malaysia, etc... At one point, they were all foreigners... :p Most were imported 100 to 200 years ago, but hey, ...still imported foreigners. Now SIN imported Fu Mingtian, Gu Juan, Zhang, Xing blabla around 4-6 years ago. Same 'foreign import' concept... :D I see nothing wrong with that... ;) he he he... :p SIN's very foundation and existence was built on it. SIN is just following its founding father's old traditions... :)

[samuel882]

Singapore shot down one of the hot favorites for WJC .. Hopes they can qualify for next year TC final rounds in Jakarta .. and once again, upsets the host :p

that would be fairly unlikely, though if you are going to aim, why not aim for the stars?
