..these matches, IMO, are worth following..:cool:..
CHN's UC team can eliminate the 2006 runners-up tonight and we'll see the young Tanongsak in action again. And of course, the titanic battle between KOR and DEN in the TC side, which could go the distance; and let's see which team the crowd will lend its support to...:cool:

[sophiaJ]

if korea lost to denmark they surely will be extremely malu...hehe

there's no doubt in my mind, after the farce the KOR team has pulled, who the crowd will support.

[sophiaJ]

hmmm i think if they support DEN also because they know KOR will be stronger opponent for INA in semi

[Erwin Kyoto]

if korea lost to denmark they surely will be extremely malu...hehe

if they win over Danish...they will be stopped by INA in SF...

[ants]

On paper our ladies does have a hard job to do.. but anything can happen. It will be a close fight. WMC must win 1st game!

i think wmc can win 1st game...
doubles are tough task for malaysian...

[sophiaJ]

for Thomas Cup,
i think chong wei can win...
but quite worried about the doubles...
both pairs' performance are quite shaky...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[snasirin]

look at the thomas cup as well as the uber cup draws. i have a feeling that it was designed to ensure that INA is in the final. rubbish INA!!!

[jimbo]

I hope Den will upset the KOR though very unlikely... if Den wins, it will be "sepandai tupai tupai melompat, jatuh juga ke tanah" :eek::rolleyes:

[sophiaJ]

can we focus back to TC & UC?
i'm sorry to start about it....
just talk about badminton,ok?

[jimbo]

hahahaa....
true true...

Rest assure that I'll give 100% support to DEN when I am in Senayan Stadium tmr... Sure boo the Kimchis ;)

so nice you can be there....
i'm having exam today...:o

[madbad]

My calls...
TC QF:
CHN vs THA : 3-0. I don't think Boonsak can match LD
MAS vs JPN : 3-0 or 3-1 depending if MAS plays their Uncles or not
KOR vs DEN : 3-1 or 3-2. Such a close match
ENG vs INA : 0-3. INA to breeze through

UC QF:
GER vs DEN : 3-2 or 2-3. Very tight one. Cannot decide
HKG vs INA : 1-3. Only Yippy might get a point for HK
CHN vs NED : 3-0. Foregone conclusion
KOR vs MAS : 3-2 or 2-3 depending on how MAS arranges their WDs

[madbad]

Really, how so? :rolleyes::rolleyes::cool::cool:

[samuel882]

I am rooting for Boonsak to get a sole point for Thailand today! Go ah boon !

TC QF match:
CHN vs THA : 3-0
MAS vs JPN : 3-1
KOR vs DEN : 2-3
ENG vs INA : 0-3


For me I think Korea Might upset Denmark. For sure we know that the Korean Doubles are on form so I think both of the doubles match will go to Korea.

I think the Dane's single are a bit stronger but still, it's going to be a close fight. I think it'll boil down to the 3rd mens single with SSM Vs. JP.

Damn, I wish I was there to see those matches.

[eaglehelang]

It's not Korea upset Denmark, it's Denmark upset Korea. Korea is seen as stronger team

[samuel882]

There might be some slight advantages for KOREA as the Denmark veteran battling hard on their final group round against the samurai warriors.
While the Korean almost didnt sweat out lot during their donald duck play-off rounds. 3-0 for Korea

[robin7]

U forgot about the order of play, both KJ & PG losing is very unlikely.

KOR will most likely be taking both doubles and just need a pt from MS.

Possible outcomes are 3-2 or 2-3.

[ye333]

One of them losing is very likely... :D

TC KOR vs DEN 60:40 - KOR will most likely be taking both doubles and steal a point from MS while DEN will need 3 MS (not likely) or 2 MS + 1 MD.

UC GER vs DEN 40:60 - The first singles between XHW and TR is 50:50 with Huaiwen having beaten Tine in EBC last month. DEN Kamilla and first doubles can contribute 2 points. Despite much lower in ranking, Super Nanna can possibly upset Julianne as well.

[badadum]

DEN will beat KOR by taking all 3 singles or 2 MS + 1 MD!!! (at least that's my prediction). :)

[bad_fanatic]

I think we all agree that the Korean MD of LYD/JJS and HJM/LJJ will win. KJ and PG will probably prevail over PSH and LH. But this will be 2 - 2.

So the deciding factor is in the 3rd MS, So Seung Mo Vs. Joachim P. (I dont know how to spell their name).

SSM hasn't been on form since Athen's OG in 2004, and JP isn't that super as well. However I'm favoring SSM to win.

[samuel882]

I think the young & furious Jan O J should be fielded as MS 3 for Denmark as his speed can destroy SSM defense.

[madbad]

Firstly, I have a sneaky feeling one of PG and KJ will lose their match, negating the need for a MS3. However, if it does go that far, I think KOR will field the youngster Hong Ji Hoon instead of SSM, who looks out of sorts.

[madbad]

Well, looks like the Mods did some severe slashing :D:D

[yen_saw]

Thank you Mod!!!

[ye333]

PSH - KJ: 50 - 50
1st MD: 52 - 48
LHI - PG: 55 - 45
2nd MD: 50 - 50

Yeah, I think it's best for all teams to take one match at a time. Good luck to INA ;)

Taking one match at a time.I think thats the best strategy.
Perhaps better than the korean's.

[Titan]

I'll be rooting for Malaysia team today...let's just hope the live scoring system doesn't screw up today....

[ganugooner]

eeerrr what time (Malaysian Time) MAS boys and girls will be playing in the QF

[Erwin Kyoto]

yeah right..:p:p:p
I am just worried by Taufik`s performance on TC 2008, look like he was not on track during qualify round...not impressive, worst netting, lack of his briliant backhand smash etc..so juga khawatir banget Bro...

[d65up2]

yeah right..:p:p:p

Well I am more worried about Sony but hey he is only a place holder well we'll see wat happend today against England...I hope they can wrap it up quickly considering how Ben Beckham were forced into rubber set by Nigeria

[wonderful_wmc]

i thought that uber cup mas vs kor is at 7pm but sina sports and bwf offical website shows that it's at 2pm.

[Titan]

naahh I don't think you guys should be worry..I don't think INA will have any problem with England...

[modious]

PSH - KJ: 50 - 50
1st MD: 52 - 48
LHI - PG: 55 - 45
2nd MD: 50 - 50
3rd MS: 50 - 50




PSH vs KJ: 50 - 50
JJS / LYD vs LP / JR: 55 - 45
LHI vs PG: 50 - 50
LJJ / HJM vs JE / MLH: 52.5 - 47.5
SSM vs JP: 50 - 50

I feel that Koreans have the edge in the doubles department.
KJ and PG have to deliver the points in Singles for Denmark and hope that one of their MD wins in order for them to go to the next round. If it goes to the 3rd MS, all bets are off. :D

[Erwin Kyoto]

Well I am more worried about Sony but hey he is only a place holder well we'll see wat happend today against England...I hope they can wrap it up quickly considering how Ben Beckham were forced into rubber set by Nigeria

If they do not play worst (due to nervous or under pressure)...I think no reason we be worried...lets see how their performance on front of thousand INA fans in Senayan...all the best to INA TUC squad:cool:

[KlasseE]

TC QF:
CHN vs THA : 3-1

Suffice to say, heads will rolls if we lost to England.....
Of course, the chances of that happen is exactly 0.0000001% ;).

The only point that England might contend is from 1st MD if they field Blair/Clark against MK/HS (MK/HS seemed to stumble against the English pair), but its a moot point since the veteran pairs isn't available.

[Erwin Kyoto]

naahh I don't think you guys should be worry..I don't think INA will have any problem with England...

I hope so...but just worry INA men singles`s performance as they played worst against Thailand

[ckloo]

There might be some slight advantages for KOREA as the Denmark veteran battling hard on their final group round against the samurai warriors.
While the Korean almost didnt sweat out lot during their donald duck play-off rounds. 3-0 for Korea

True. The next time Koreans play, they should just wear the Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse suit or they can ask Walt Disney to be their sponsor. So you will see Mickey's ears printed on their shirt instead of Yonex. Hahaha:D:D:D

[george@chongwei]

i think mew choo have a very good chance against hwang hye youn of korea...if mew choo vs jun jae youn, then it will be diffrent story..i hope that she can win the 1st match!!!

[george@chongwei]

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!:D:D:D:p:)

[jesminekia]

all the best to our girls........will watch the live infront of the TV and give my fully support on u gals.....Jia You!!!!!!!!Malaysia Boleh

[badMania]

Crucial tie in the Uber Cup, HKG vs INA.

Possible lineups:
WS1: Wang Chen vs Maria Kristin Yulianti -- Wang Chen to win!
WD1: Louisa Koon Wai Chee/Chau Hoi Wah vs Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir -- definitely Vita/Butet's point here.
WS2: Yip Pui Yin vs Adriyanti Firdasari -- the crucial tie...Yippy has the edge but Firda can win if she shows her true potential and the crowd rallies behind her!
WD2: any pair vs Jo Novita/Greysia Polii -- again, INA needs to win this one and Jo/Grace's form have been good so far.
WS3: Ng Ka Shun or Chan Tsz Ka or Mong Kwan Yi vs Pia Bernadet Zebadiah -- ditto for Pia...not a bad debut for her so far. She can be relied upon if this is to be the decider tie.

INA to beat HKG 3-2.

[george@chongwei]

i tot wang chen not coming to JKT??

[badylife]

MALAYSIA BOLEH IN BOTH UBER AND THOMAS
very proud of malaysia Uber team yesterday
hope they can upset KOR today
hehe. i wonder whether malaysia will field the stratch pair as 1st doubles again or not.

I read somewhere on BC that Wang Chen wasn't with the HK team. A reason why she's not features in any of the matches yet. Can someone confirm... ants? hauge?

yeah, the greatwall of china is hard to break but in world of badminton, nothing is impossible:)

[gendruw]

then just wait until the train empties its fuel, so "becak" can go pass them :D

[danshtan]

No doubt, China is the favorites in the TC, however anything can happen in sports.

Who expected Choon Hann to suffer a major injury in the previous TC finals?
Who expected Taufik to lose to the 2nd singles player from Thailand?

The pressure provided by the media and the crowd could make anybody crack, moreover the standard of the players are more or less similar and it all boils to the actual match conditions.

[volcom]

For that to happen, it will be a looooooooong time yet

[vching]

I'm going to make the bold prediction that the Great Wall is going to crack tomorrow!

[gendruw]

cracked or crushed? :D

[xymaerts]

Hi

I would like to ask about the semi Final's match schedule.If MAS would beat JP, what time would u think MAS vs CHN will be schedule? 1pm or 6pm?If it falls at 1pm, might need to take LEAVE on that day... Anyone know?

[ye333]

It's too early to talk about Team China's form. Nigeria and Canada are too weak (Compare: INA's group: Thai and Germany, MAS's group: KOR and England, all four teams are at least one level higher than even Canada). We will get some idea of what Team China's form is tonight.


yeah, the greatwall of china is hard to break but in world of badminton, nothing is impossible:)

[markchan]

The team line up is OUT !!

Surprise surprise !! MAS MD line up is a surprise!!
MD 1 - KKK & CTF
MD2 - TBH & Zakry

Wonder why?? is someone injured?

[badMania]

Wang Chen might not play... If so... INA 3-1 over HKG...

Wang Chen WILL NOT play. 2 pts from Doubles and 1 pt from Firda should suffice. INA rolls on to SF tomorrow.

[bh185008]

What happen???

Koo/Chong as the first MD and Tan/Zakry as the second double...:confused:

Risky moved by Rexy....hope Malaysia goes thru to semi.....

[badMania]

If Lin Dan, Chen Jin and Xie Zhongbo/Guo Zhendong do not play to their form, there's a small chance that Thailand can steal a few pts through Boonsak Ponsana, Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk and Sudket Prapakamol/Songphon Anugritayawon.

[badMania]

Meanwhile, Kenichi Tago is promoted to MS2 and Hiroyuki Endo will play as MS3 for Japan, to increase the chance of beating MAS.

[Jessica]

Wow..Mas feature Uncle Choong with KKK and TBH with Zakry...

[waile]

wang chen not pplaying for hk. why?

[markchan]

What happen???

Koo/Chong as the first MD and Tan/Zakry as the second double...:confused:

Risky moved by Rexy....hope Malaysia goes thru to semi.....

I think MAS coaches taking a cue from yesterdays UC 's success in switching the doubles players.

Let's see if it works. The JPN might be taken by surprise and have their strategies all screwed up...

[nellute]

The lineup is seriously confusing.

If this is for strategic reason, I am not for it.

When pairing up doubles last minute, the players will get confused themselve.

[reiko80]

Wow..Mas feature Uncle Choong with KKK and TBH with Zakry...
ya jess.....really destroy today....and rexy will resign if it fail:mad:

[markchan]

If Lin Dan, Chen Jin and Xie Zhongbo/Guo Zhendong do not play to their form, there's a small chance that Thailand can steal a few pts through Boonsak Ponsana, Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk and Sudket Prapakamol/Songphon Anugritayawon.

This is what we are hoping for. If THA were to win it has got to be MS1, MS3 and MD2

increase chance to beat malaysia?? are u sure?? thats what they hope la... hehe, wishful thinking... like the idea of rexy breaking up the pairs but how effective it is... not sure yet. guess we have to wait. our doubles players are not as formidable as koreans...:D

[markchan]

ya jess.....really destroy today....and rexy will resign if it fail:mad:

U are rite. It is a big risk that the coaches have taken. I m sure they have taken their last 2 days performances into consideration. Everyone saw how shaky our MDs were.

[Jessica]

ya jess.....really destroy today....and rexy will resign if it fail:mad:
Aiyo..Don't be so negative first. Rexy must have his reason by doing so.:rolleyes:

[Erwin Kyoto]

What happen???

Koo/Chong as the first MD and Tan/Zakry as the second double...:confused:

Risky moved by Rexy....hope Malaysia goes thru to semi.....

KKK/TBH has not good record against Japan MD in superseries..thats why..Rexy decided to field Koo/Chong as 1st MD, ..hmmm..perhaps...

based on this line-up...my prediction goes to Jpn can give hard fighting to MAS...

[xymaerts]

Y?? The original MAS team is sufficient enough to Beat JP.. With this kind of line up, very risky !! If they fail, YKH/REXY surely will need to resign!!

[shuzzack]

i'm quite nervous now looking at the doubles line up...
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!

[xymaerts]

Is MAS is afraid of JP?They have no confident of our MS?? I really can't see any, what kind of strategy MAS use? To me, there is no need to use any strategy for beating JP.

i'm quite nervous now looking at the doubles line up...
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!

[reiko80]

Aiyo..Don't be so negative first. Rexy must have his reason by doing so.:rolleyes:
im scared that rexy will resign again after this?????:eek:

[Noridayu]

Have confident in the team and pray for their succeed. Malaysia Boleh!

[Krisna]

If Lin Dan, Chen Jin and Xie Zhongbo/Guo Zhendong do not play to their form, there's a small chance that Thailand can steal a few pts through Boonsak Ponsana, Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk and Sudket Prapakamol/Songphon Anugritayawon.

I wish you're here, dude. Ok, I'm off to Istora to see the Uber Cup game now... ;) Go INA.

[Noridayu]

im scared that rexy will resign again after this?????:eek:

Do not worry. Just relax and see the outcome of the scratch pairs combination. Hope it will be a great day for us.

[Erwin Kyoto]

i'm quite nervous now looking at the doubles line up...
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!

dont worry...MAS MS better than Jpn...3 pts to MAS...but if they are not on their top form...hmm..impossible is nothing for SAMURAI squad through to SF:cool:...

[Cheung]

The team line up is OUT !!

Surprise surprise !! MAS MD line up is a surprise!!
MD 1 - KKK & CTF
MD2 - TBH & Zakry

Wonder why?? is someone injured?Perhaps after WC, Rexy spotted that PJB was very good at identifying MAS doubles pairs weakness. Therefore change lineup to confuse the opponents. When considered on an individual basis, all MAS doubles players should be stronger than JPN players.

[xymaerts]

Too RISKY !!! Why MAS need to risk themselves !!! I tell u, it can be 50-50 now..I mean the double pairs.. & if they can't steal 1 point from single..
Why Why Why....


Do not worry. Just relax and see the outcome of the scratch pairs combination. Hope it will be a great day for us.

[pauline]

haha, TBH + zakry,sounds weird....waiting to watch,Malaysia boleh!

[xymaerts]

Agreed! AS PJB is a double specialist !!

Den Over Kor ---3-0, I Just Dunt Want Kpr Win The Game, I Dunt Like The Way They Play At Small Group Match" Ask For Lose" , They Not Respect The Game At All....

[Han]

I think even Rexy has doubt on our MD aces! It is not a wise choice in my opinion even though Malaysia may only have 50-50 chance playing against Japan in MD department using original lineup of CTF/LWW and KKK/TBH. 50-50 is still very decent to me as we have such a big advantage in MS department, just need to win 1 out of the 2 MD will seal the victory.
If the new MD lineup backfire, that will put huge pressure on MS. Boy, we thought only Koreans are crazy, now is our turn.

[madbad]

All teams being introduced now to Europe's "The Final Countdown"

[madbad]

Of all the matches, they have to show the least interesting one (IMHO): INA v HK. I guess it's understandable since it's an INA feed
