[d65up2]

[abedeng]

[IBaddersI]

PSH did it.

KOR 1 - 0 INA

[madbad]

PARK wins it!! KOR 1-0 INA
Again, the laser beam comes onto the court

[carine]

PARK won it..........

[Jessica]

Park is a tough tough man.Incredible..

[abedeng]

Park wins and does the ala-LCW hugging with coach.

KOR lead 1-0.

[badadum]

Dang....PSH took the 1st point...
Sony show a good fighting spirit though to tie it at the later stages....

Now, lets go WC!!! GO MK/HS!!!

[ctjcad]

..thank you Sony for playing...back to more training...

Up next, the 1st MD match..

[robin7]

What is Tan Kim Her doing in the Korean player box?

[badMania]

What a pity...Sony levelled the score at 17-17 despite being down 12-17, only to see Park racing ahead again and Park Sung Hwan eventually makes it KOR 1 INA 0.

Now, Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan need to win this next match against Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae. It's tough, but, it's not impossible.

[masjoko]

this is expected. surely markis kido - hendra will win after this.

[shyeling]

According to china coach, CJ was actually injured in 2nd set, HH didn't manage to capitalise it, what a waste!
http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2008-05-16/19293666698.shtml
don't blame HH cz before the match, we already know that the chance for him to win is really small..
kkk-tbh should not lost actually...:mad:
if ctf-lww can play, may be the result will be inverted..:( bt lww is injured while ctf is fever..

http://sports.sinchew-i.com/node/4319?tid=18

[Jessica]

Now i headache already..Both my favourite pair playing..JJS/LYD and Kido/Setiawan..Who should i support???

[yen_saw]

WOuld be interesting to see SDK vs LD if Indonesia make it to the final. Both are loser from the Semi.

[Seasider]

MK/HS will level the position to 1-1 I hope....

[sophiaJ]

jaesung/yongdae is on better position now..hehe

[madbad]

Korean contingent is jubilant. What mental strength from both men. I honestly thought PSH was going to lose it when Sony caught up to 17-17 and the crowd was going crazy for him. Credit the KOR fighting spirit.

[d65up2]

So dissappointed...He came back and then sat back again....Taufik won't win against Lee Hyun Il in my opinion...its gonna be hard its over here...Jung and Lee are in good for at the moment and not a chance that our shaky Kido-Setiawan can beat them....Oh God please save Indonesia we dun have anything as a country now...please

[yen_saw]

Now Indonesia really need TH to beat LHI

[masjoko]

What is Tan Kim Her doing in the Korean player box?

maybe sharing some advice or giving instructions.

[llpjlau]

Taufik is an incredible player though.. LHI might not be able to handle him.

[kwun]

awesome match. both players played brilliantly but the match went to the stronger player. i was about to head to bed but just couldn't pull myself away from such an exciting match.

but now... i think i am about to head to bed...

[yen_saw]

Indonesia needs good MS to have a clear chance of winning TC.

[masjoko]

Now i headache already..Both my favourite pair playing..JJS/LYD and Kido/Setiawan..Who should i support???

sure Markis Kido....

[yen_saw]

The pressure is now on the Indonesia first MD to deliver.

[madbad]

Hey... the sun is up... 5:19am.
Here come the MDs

[robin7]

What a pity...Sony levelled the score at 17-17 despite being down 12-17, only to see Park racing ahead again and Park Sung Hwan eventually makes it KOR 1 INA 0.
PSH deserves the win coz he worked so hard for every point...

[sophiaJ]

yong dae yong dae!!!
jae sung jae sung!!!
aza aza fighting~~~~~~~!!!!!!

[masjoko]

Indonesia needs good MS to have a clear chance of winning TC.

MAS have LCW but but still cant win TC....

[Seasider]

Each pair has one tall and one short guy as partners; interesting :D

[masjoko]

common Markis Kido!!!

teach the Korean some lesson!!!

[economet]

Tan KimHer won lots of money by playing against PSH doubles matches. And he emotionally fees still belonging to the Korean NAtional Squad!


What is Tan Kim Her doing in the Korean player box?

[carine]

gogogo INA.....

[epaphroditus]

don't blame HH cz before the match, we already know that the chance for him to win is really small..
kkk-tbh should not lost actually...:mad:
if ctf-lww can play, may be the result will be inverted..:( bt lww is injured while ctf is fever..

http://sports.sinchew-i.com/node/4319?tid=18

Well, lost is expected; a win will be an upset! Good play by M'sia team, especially from LCW. Bottom line, we stole 1 single and they stole 1 double; end result is still the same :D

[kwun]

Hey... the sun is up... 5:19am.
Here come the MDs

over here... birds are chirping and a hint of light. but no sun yet.

[robin7]

Now KOR has 2 reliable MD pairs... INA has to win the MD1...

[badMania]

The INA pair needs to be sharp and cut down on their unforced errors.

[Jessica]

Oh...Acoording to sinchew daily..The reason why CTF/LWW not playing is because LWW was injured and CTF suffered from fever.Haiz,luck not on Mas side..

[Seasider]

Hendra Setiawan is so determined to win this game. He's gonna show us everything he got. I hope he can win the net play against KOR.

[modious]

awesome match. both players played brilliantly but the match went to the stronger player. i was about to head to bed but just couldn't pull myself away from such an exciting match.

but now... i think i am about to head to bed...

well you can always watch the replays when ppl upload to youtube etc. :D

[madbad]

over here... birds are chirping and a hint of light. but no sun yet.

I might not last much longer. I think Chris will have to carry the torch for us wet coasters

[modious]

Korea takes the first point. 1-0

[robin7]

Tan KimHer won lots of money by playing against PSH doubles matches. And he emotionally fees still belonging to the Korean NAtional Squad!
Huh? I don't quite get u!

Btw, LYD is so young, born in Sept 11th 1988. Jessica, r u there watching?

[Jessica]

Haiyo..Really difficult to watch this match..Why my two favourite pair have to play together??Ok,i don't want to support anyone then,may the best win..

[ctjcad]

...
but now... i think i am about to head to bed...
..you're tempting me, too...:p

Indonesia needs good MS to have a clear chance of winning TC.
..concur. But that applies to all contending teams..:cool:

Hey... the sun is up... 5:19am.
Here come the MDs

Now KOR has 2 reliable MD pairs... INA has to win the MD1...
..it's SHOWTIME for badMania's fave MD pair...;)

[modious]

And the laser beam comes on to the court again!:mad:

[masjoko]

Oh...Acoording to sinchew daily..The reason why CTF/LWW not playing is because LWW was injured and CTF suffered from fever.Haiz,luck not on Mas side..

even CTF/LWW play 1st doubles, can we sure KKK/TBH can win over Dong Dong like Fairuz/Zakry?.. nah....

[yen_saw]

Commentator keep mentioning the laser beam issue.

[masjoko]

its 2-2 just now! common Markis!

[economet]

Tan Kim Her usually finished training sessions by playing doubles paired with one of dubles player against PSH and onother doubles player. Gained a lot of money against PSH, almost small amounts (about 20 US Dollars!)

He is now coaching Ehngland's MD, but he takes part in this thrilling semi finals match and shows solidarity with the Korean Squad!

[madbad]

Damn that laser beam. The cops should head into the crowd and disarm the perp. :mad:

[masjoko]

that must the korean teams beaming the laser. they are full of strategy

[robin7]

LYD is very effective at the net...KOR 5-4...

[yen_saw]

at 19 LYD definately play maturely.

[madbad]

Suddenly KOR surge ahead 7-4

[sophiaJ]

koreans are in condition,.

[d65up2]

INA bye bye...Korea got their tricks

[Jessica]

LYD so fire up infront of the net..

[carine]

KOR leading 8-6......

Oic.. Thanks...

KOR 9-6 up...

[d65up2]

Why can't us Indonesian be good at something??

[masjoko]

Markis dont give up

[yen_saw]

INA bye bye...Korea got their tricks

That's a little early. wait till the korea actually takes 3 games.

[carine]

KOR leading 10-6...

[robin7]

KOR 11-7 in the interval...

[Jessica]

Great defense by the Korea pair..I already discover that this Korea pair has great defense in ABC but their defense was superb now.

[masjoko]

Why can't us Indonesian be good at something??

i can remember 5-6 years ago INA full of talented players. like CHN nowadays.

[sophiaJ]

korea is doin well...
keep it on~~~!

[d65up2]

I dun think INA can take even one game here......we are finished...too many corruption and where the heck is SBY the president....

[badMania]

The KOR pair looks more confident as they lead 11-7 at the interval. Not a good sign for Kido/Hendra. Sigit Pamungkas looks furious....

[robin7]

LYD so fire up infront of the net..
He is cute? Isn't he? :p

[yen_saw]

Looks like the INA MD is under pressure

[Jessica]

He is cute? Isn't he? :p
Yup..Finally you discover that he is cute and charming..:p:p

[masjoko]

yeah bambang pamungkas look angry

[masjoko]

Markis is chasing

[robin7]

If JJS/LYD can beat MK/HS in Jakarta, they can beat them anywhere...

[badadum]

Looks like JJS is the weak link for the Korean pair.

[robin7]

INA narrows the gap at 12-14...

[madbad]

He is cute? Isn't he? :p

Robin, you're not showing your brokeback side are you? :D:D

[madbad]

Still pretty close KOR 15-13 INA

[masjoko]

LYD cute? he looks like school boy.

[madbad]

Lucky net cord results in a point for INA

[masjoko]

14 -15 just now!

[robin7]

15-all now.....

[carine]

[robin7]

Robin, you're not showing your brokeback side are you? :D:D
Haha... I wish I am as young he is... Nah, I was just teasing Jessica... :D

[madbad]

KOR regains the initiative but INA equalizes 17-17

[robin7]

KOR 18-17.... Still tight...

[yen_saw]

lucky net shot for korea

[robin7]

KOR at game pt 20-18...

[carine]

game pt for KOR...

[eaglehelang]

don't blame HH cz before the match, we already know that the chance for him to win is really small..
kkk-tbh should not lost actually...:mad:
if ctf-lww can play, may be the result will be inverted..:( bt lww is injured while ctf is fever..

http://sports.sinchew-i.com/node/4319?tid=18


Ohhh, now understand why Rexy didnt field uncles. Uncles have better chance against Fu/Cai.

Anyway, now is Indonesia MD against Korea MD. Come mighties, you can overcome the Koreans!

[robin7]

HS is serving to LYD... KOR took it 21-19...

[madbad]

KOR wins the 1st game 21-19. Breathtaking stuff

[sophiaJ]

yes!!!
go korea!!
one game more

[abedeng]

Hauge is in deep thought, thinking of the narrow loss in the 1st game.

[d65up2]

Dats it man I am out...they are done....INA INA when are u going to bounce back

[Jessica]

I can't believe Lee Yong Dae is just 19 years old.He was cool, calm and focus in his game and this was what TBH lacking.

[carine]

KOR took 1st set...haiz...

[yen_saw]

the crowd is less noisy now

[badMania]

It's so close as the INA pair loses the first set 19-21. Lee Yong Dae is absolutely brilliant. Hendra Setiawan does not look confident facing him on the net.

They need to find a breakthrough here...

[felix929]

From everyones words
is LYD goin nuts again?... when he does he is like unstoppable

[madbad]

Markis/Hendra made a lot of mistakes. They'll have to buck up big time to save the match

[yen_saw]

i am sure china is looking closely to this match now.

[madbad]

Fast start from INA 3-0

[yen_saw]

Great start for the INA

[carine]

INA leading 4-1.....

[abedeng]

JJS tried to tell Malcolm Banham that Kido's flick serve is faulty.

INA still on a roll, 6-1

[carine]

INA leading 6-1.....

[madbad]

INA in total command 7-2. Many mistakes from KOR

[yen_saw]

Damn LYD playing well.

[robin7]

What a solid defense by KOR 6-10...

[gendruw]

im going home now.... hopefully INA will win
GO GO GO INA!

[masjoko]

common INA take the second games!

[modious]

Indonesia leads at the interval, 11-8.

[robin7]

What a bh kill at the net by LYD 8-10.

[madbad]

KOR has managed to close the gap to 8-11 at the break. Anybody's match

[sophiaJ]

js/yd is coming back

[badMania]

Kido/Hendra lead 11-8 at the interval of the 2nd set, despite leading as much as 6 pts at one pt. Hendra still has yet to find his composure.

[carine]

INA leading 11-8...

[carine]

INA leading 13-8...

[bananakid]

JJS tried to tell Malcolm Banham that Kido's flick serve is faulty.

INA still on a roll, 6-1

That's funny... more like 90%+ of Kido's serves(low or flick) are faulty... talk about extremely close to the chest level.:rolleyes:

[modious]

Indonesia leads 14 - 8.

[madbad]

INA off quickly after the break 14-8. More comfortable for them now

[abedeng]

Hauge clenches both fists, in celebration of INA's point.

[yen_saw]

Rubber set most likely.

[~LooP~]

....Viva INdonesia... (grugh..grugh..grugh...)

[modious]

15 - 10 to Indonesia.

[modious]

It's 16 - 10 now!

[jason_tiger]

As predicted, Indonesia has better attacking tactics than Korea, Attack tends to be the key factor no matter how strong your defence is. if they could cut down unforced errors, they will win this match.

[modious]

Deceptive drop shot by LYD.
Korea still trail 11 - 16.

[masjoko]

markis is winning

[modious]

Indonesia regains the service.
17 -11.
Great net shot by Setiawan

[masjoko]

3 more points....

[modious]

Indonesia still in the lead in the 2nd set.

19 -14.

[masjoko]

common INA! Habisin!

[modious]

game point!

20 -15!

[~LooP~]

:mad:......c'mon Finish It..!!!

lET THEM wEEP...

[masjoko]

match point! 20-15

[yen_saw]

INA is good at attacking!

[masjoko]

commmon!! let LYD cries

[masjoko]

just finish it Markis!

[masjoko]

yeah rubber set 21-18

[yen_saw]

Finally!! rubber set.

[masjoko]

great play by Markis/Sitiawan

[badMania]

Kido/Hendra level it at 1-1, winning the second set 21-18.

[badadum]

These 2 pairs are evenly matched....dang.....

[Jessica]

Rubber game now..Interesting match..

[masjoko]

dont cry LYD! hehe

[Jessica]

commmon!! let LYD cries
wow..why so hate him???:D:rolleyes:

[modious]

Indonesia must take this MD to have a realistic chance of getting into the TC finals.

[badadum]

Who's that INA's coach???

[badMania]

The Korean has better defense, but, Jung Jae Sung is definitely the weak link.

The INA pair needs to maintain their attacking play in order to forge an early advantage.

[badMania]

Who's that INA's coach???

Sigit Pamungkas and Herry IP.

[robin7]

JJS suddenly got nervous in the 2nd game, that partly caused KOR the game..

[yen_saw]

As the comentator mentioned, the coaches are animated, but that is the serious way of expressing i would think.

[robin7]

Korea 3-0........

[vincents]

INA 1 Korea 4 Rubber set

[masjoko]

its 2-4 now!....

[yen_saw]

Good smash Setiawan

[robin7]

LYD at the net. KOR 5-2...

[masjoko]

common Markis lets that momma boy cry!

[sophiaJ]

go yong dae!!!!

[robin7]

LYD at the net again. KOR 7-4...

[masjoko]

go markis go! teach the school boy

[yen_saw]

What happen to the INA? seems a bit lax after winning the second.

[robin7]

LYD at the net again. KOR 9-4...

KOR 10-4...

[masjoko]

INA cant afford to lose this game

[robin7]

Long. KOR 11-4.....

[yen_saw]

Lucky shot for Korea

[masjoko]

common Markis attack more!

[sophiaJ]

korea~!!!go go go

[abedeng]

Hauge shows his concern with every additional Korean point.

Consulting break 11-4.

[sophiaJ]

koreans are getting lucky points..
keep it on

[badMania]

Once again, loss of concentration as feared by Kido/Hendra as they let Jung/Lee forge a healthy 11-4 lead at the rubber-set, winning 5 straight pts.

[vincents]

11-4.....................

[yen_saw]

Looks like gone case.

[robin7]

KOR is cruising 14-4...

[apontoh]

hmm.. even if INA trails 0-2, we still have a slight edge over the three remaining matches. But good job, Korea. let's see how this unfolds..

[yen_saw]

Crowd may start to boo soon.

[badMania]

The KOR pair is simply on a roll...not a chance for Kido/Hendra for a comeback. 8 straight pts to make it 14-4.

[sophiaJ]

hohoho..go go korea...you can make it

[robin7]

KOR 15-5. Looking good for KOR...

[masjoko]

8 consecutive points? common INA wake up

[yen_saw]

2:0 for Korea i think

[modious]

16 - 7 to Korea!!!

[robin7]

JJS so pumped up.. KOR 16-5.

16-6...

[vincents]

Sorry guys, but INA looks pretty stuffed..........

[masjoko]

INA still can win

[abedeng]

Nothing lucky about Korean pts, they are the ones dictating the rallies.

Hauge braces for the inevitable.

[robin7]

5 more..... K O R E A

[modious]

It's 17 - 8 to Korea....

[masjoko]

haiz. if its 2-0 KOR - INA, im giving up

[yen_saw]

IT is going to be hard for the INA fans to swallow, their world champion losing.

[robin7]

KOR 18-10... 3 more...

[yen_saw]

i am already looking forward to the TH vs LHI game.

[robin7]

What a rally. KOR 19-10...

[abedeng]

Diving LYD saves a pt, 19-10

[yen_saw]

LYD gas long reach

[robin7]

KOR 2 - 0 INA . . . . .

[yen_saw]

Too easy for the Korea in rubber. Too many mistake from the INA double Kido

[sophiaJ]

yesss@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abedeng]

Game is over, Hauge shakes his head, some of the huge crowd starting to leave.

Korea lead 2-0.

[llpjlau]

geez.. what are the world champions doing

[yen_saw]

WHo would have thought that Korea startegic plan developing so well.

[sophiaJ]

hyun iL go go go~!@@@!!!!
seal 3-0 for korea

[Jessica]

This Korea pair is very fiery now..The commentators give full praise to LYD.Gillian Clarke said she believe LYD will pick up the Olympic gold medal in the age of 19..wow, what a prediction.

[badMania]

KOR leads 2-0 as Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae totally dominated the third set and take it 21-10 easily :mad:

Once again, both INA players are guilty of losing their concentration early in the third set, still celebrating their second set comeback perhaps?

[gargoyle]

Aaaaaarrrrghhhhh........ :( :( :(

[Jessica]

I sincerely hope Taufik will win again LHI..

[vincents]

Taufik Hidayat v Lee Huyn Il?

On paper, it looks like Taufik. On form, it looks like Lee. It could be 3-0, folks.

[xsakurax]

ermm maybe korean will have a chance to beat china if they go all the way into final...more fight to come between the coach and the players..

[vincents]

Nah, I think losing the 1st set has a disastrous effect on the Indonesians. You fight hard in the 2nd and gradually run out of steam in the 3rd.

[abedeng]

The INA squad looks forlorn.

Ha Tae Kwon speaks with his old boss Tan Kim Her. TKH congratulates Ha for a job well done.

[winzerer]

i think korean pair at the moment are the best pair in the world and still they could improve alot, lee young dae remind me of park joo bong.

it will be hard task for indo team....hopefully taufik will show hiw best today
