Thomas Cup 2008 - May 18 - Final - CHN vs. KOR

[madbad]

Muted celebration from Bao. He wipes out a tired LHI 21-11 in the 2nd.
CHN 2-1 KOR

[ycchen]

oh no.... Thomas Cup will remain in China... :(

[LI De Quan]

China BOLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wood_22_chuck]

BCL is playing extremely well in this Thomas Cup. A resurgence?

-dave

[drifit]

Dink, unable to sit tight if there is a great match of double........:D

Chn leads 2-1, nearing to retain TC

[robin7]

For the MS3, there is still 50-50 game for CY & SSM...

Meanwhile Nadal is one break up at 6-5 in the 1st set...

[ycchen]

the most important point has gone to China.... now may be Xie/Guo will be motivated to deliver the 3rd point to China... :(

[markham player]

Congraulation to BCL!

[Calfy]

Lin Dan's wearing his own Design T-shirt

[Dato A]

oh no.... Thomas Cup will remain in China... :(

SSM will play the 3rd singles , not Hafiz:D

[kungfukid]

Haih.....
First set damaged LHI.

[weeyet]

I can hear "keluar" by Habsbullah Awang...

Aren't you watching RTM 1?

[Jessica]

Sigh..LHI lost already..Now i go to tennis..

[drifit]

China BOLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is the spirit.....:)

[llpjlau]

i think CHN will win the TC unless KOR's 3rd MS can match up to CY.

[madbad]

BCL is playing extremely well in this Thomas Cup. A resurgence?

-dave

I think he plays better in that girly outfit. Really puts an opponent off :D:D

[ycchen]

SSM will play the 3rd singles , not Hafiz:D

will SSM be the Korean version of HH? :) i think most likely he will... :) look at the face of LYB... he is so confident of defending the Thomas Cup after BCL beating LHI...

[madbad]

BCL hi-fiving an appreciative crowd as he leaves the arena

[Gitlis]

not much suspense anymore

[Jessica]

will SSM be the Korean version of HH? :) i think most likely he will... :) look at the face of LYB... he is so confident of defending the Thomas Cup after BCL beating LHI...
Hard to say..SSM is playing Chen Yu..Well, lets concentrate on the MD match first..Maybe everything ends after this match..:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[bananakid]

SSM will play the 3rd singles , not Hafiz:D

Plus the fact that Chen Yu has not played a game in this tournament... may give the Korean an advantage.

China MD2 must win, if they are to keep the Thomas cup. However, the chance of Guo/Xie to beat Lee/Hwang is low.

I still believe Korea will take it 3-2.:cool:

[wood_22_chuck]

I think he plays better in that girly outfit. Really puts an opponent off :D:D

Dunno. When raising his arms to celebrate, the pit hairs are peeking out. Getting some air.

There's should be a moratorium: If you wear this shirt, uh, don't raise your arms over your head. Or shave.

[DinkAlot]

Hey, surprised to see you here! :)

Panda's try not to miss the Thomas and Uber Cup. :)

Panda was going to play BAD yesterday but it was just so hot so Panda went to sleep in early. Woke up at 4am...and here's Panda! :p

It's gonna be China 3-2. :D Guo/Xie gonna get rocked by Lee/Hwang and then CY is going to beat-up on SSM.

The middle of May and it was 104F (40C) yesterday at SGVBC! :crying:

[ycchen]

i thought LHI is in great form after beating TH... i over-estimated his form already... :)... credit to BCL... he knew the importance of the point and fought so hard for it....

[badMania]

The second set was a whimper compared to the first set as Bao Chunlai won it easily 21-11, thanks to LHI's numerous errors. CHN 2 KOR 1.

KOR has to win this one here...Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man vs Guo Zhendong/Xie Zhongbo

[madbad]

Her come the MD2 teams. Which Guo/Xie will show up. I'm sure LYB read the riot act to them after their shambolic performance against the MAS Fuzzy boys. Will it matter anyway? The Koreans are overwhelming favourites to claim this tie.

[robin7]

KOR must win MD2 to stay alive...

Meanwhile Nadal just won the 1st set 7-5...

[eaglehelang]

SSM will play the 3rd singles , not Hafiz:D

Hi there Dato, thought you're watching on tv :D

[khloe]

China BOLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations! I think thomas cup will remain in China.

[cooler]

In the past, INA linejudges were as bad as the KOR linejudges... We have gone past that... :p
i dont know about the past INA line judging but what i have seen so far in this TC is error free line judging, a big applause to the INA linejudges.

in the first set, near the end, where bcl hit the shuttle deep into LHI's back line, a korean team member stands up and gesturing his hands as out, probably trying to influence the linejudge. It was clearly in and was glad INA line judge made the correct call, IN.

[DinkAlot]

Dink, unable to sit tight if there is a great match of double........:D

Chn leads 2-1, nearing to retain TC

Naw, I think Guo/Xie are gonna get worked by Lee/Hwang. :p

Well, you woke up for a good one. I was a little late coming in (5am) but have enjoyed proceedings thus far. Guo/Xie are going to be smoked by the KOR boys.

[ycchen]

i believe XZB/GZD will be very motivated now.... they certainly have a fighting chance against the Korean... may be Korean's playing style will suit Xie/Guo more... :)

[robin7]

Aren't you watching RTM 1?
I'm watching Astro...

Fyi, Hasbullah Awang is just sitting beside John Burgess and Gillian Clark...

[madbad]

Dunno. When raising his arms to celebrate, the pit hairs are peeking out. Getting some air.

-dave

Oh Dave, let's not go there :D:D:D

[Just4Kicks]

Though the Koreans are much favored, don'y count the Chinese pair out yet.

But I am still hoping for a 5th decided match

Nothing like high top class badminton!!

Goodluck to both Korea and China!

[singhzico]

Hauge. Louisa , michelle & fastdrop was spotted on TV :p

[Calfy]

Good rally by china to start the game

[DinkAlot]

Agree, we want our money's worth, a 5th match. :D

[madbad]

CHN body language looking good at the start, and more aggressive too

[lelynx]

303 km/h... :)
the fastest so far...

[madbad]

Lovely x-court drop by CHN

[DinkAlot]

pretty soon, u guys need to order slow speed shuttles, just like what i use and need:D

Played on Friday night in 90-92F weather and the shuttles were slow for some reason and no one could smash hard. It was weird. Go figure. :confused:

[weeyet]

I'm watching Astro...

Fyi, Hasbullah Awang is just sitting beside John Burgess and Gillian Clark...

oh isee :p I still prefer Hasbullah Awang's commentary on badminton ;) Informative, analysis, dynamic and "emotional" :cool:

[madbad]

Naughty cameraman picks out some cute chicks in the crowd

[drifit]

Chn 6-2 Kor..........................

[DinkAlot]

Naughty cameraman picks out some cute chicks in the crowd

Nothing wrong with that! :D

China 7-2

[madbad]

Well done CHN, keeping things aggressive. CHN 6-1

[Calfy]

really really nice rally there to get to 6-1

[eaglehelang]

CHN body language looking good at the start, and more aggressive too

He he, must have gotten creamed by LYB & MD coach aft lost to Fuzzy pair. Lee/Hwang are under great pressure

[DinkAlot]

Make that 8-2. Guo/Xie are on fire.

[drifit]

Naughty cameraman picks out some cute chicks in the crowd

hey.... hey......
that is good
let drifit release eye strain...........:D

[badMania]

In comparison to Jung/Lee, Lee/Hwang look ordinary.

[Tjun Tjun]

Naughty cameraman picks out some cute chicks in the crowd

Indonesians know to appreciate beauty.........;););)

[madbad]

Looks like LYB has strategized well for Guo/Xie.

[DinkAlot]

Lee/Hwang are under great pressure

Concur, they are heavily favored to win and they must win...

...9-3, China.

[eaglehelang]

oh isee :p I still prefer Hasbullah Awang's commentary on badminton ;) Informative, analysis, dynamic and "emotional" :cool:

RTM 1 & TV3 livestream is Hasbullah Awang

[madbad]

Indonesians know to appreciate beauty.........;););)

And we all appreciate that too! :D

[madbad]

Poor mistake from Xie after some good defence. CHN 9-3

[badMania]

The KOR pair appeared nervous.
They will lose this first set here.

[khloe]

i just want to leave a comment that Bao Chun Lai really played very well!!!
Well done! Good JOb!

[Calfy]

Koreans defence is so so good. A few of Xis's half court smash they still managed to get it back!

[madbad]

CHN playing with initiative and self belief 10-4. Big smash and they lead 11-4 at the break. KOR boys are shell-shocked

[Jessica]

Sigh..Korea pair losing confident here..

[kungfukid]

Korean MD under pressured!!

[Calfy]

:eek: LJJ had a hair cut!
his mullets gone! :eek:

[badMania]

The Chinese pair leads 11-4 at the interval.

Let's see what Ha Tae Kwon can do to rouse the KOR pair up.

[madbad]

CHN beating KOR at their quick, pushing, flat game

[badMania]

Crowds are cheering for the Chinese pair.

[samuel882]

Whoever thought Guo/Xie will be owed by the Korean pair must be fooled now :p

[Just4Kicks]

Xie Zhongbo is unstoppable in this set

[madbad]

What a difference 2 days can make for Guo/Xie. Much sounder tactically

[madbad]

2 mistakes by CHN. 14-7

[Jessica]

Whoever thought Guo/Xie will be owed by the Korean pair must be fooled now :p
I am one of the fool person out there..:crying::crying::D

[madbad]

Big boy Xie kills at net. Very quick movement 15-7

[madbad]

Whoever thought Guo/Xie will be owed by the Korean pair must be fooled now :p

Hand's up :o:o:o

[Calfy]

Whoever thought Guo/Xie will be owed by the Korean pair must be fooled now :p

yh im so so shocked Guo/Xie are playing really well!
their link is way better than Cai/Fu in the MD1

[kungfukid]

think it's gone case for korea.

[cooler]

Played on Friday night in 90-92F weather and the shuttles were slow for some reason and no one could smash hard. It was weird. Go figure. :confused: 2 possible reasons:

1. the gym doors were closed and air pressure increased as u guys heat things up inside:p

2. the hot indoor make u guys all sluggish and groggy, so it feels like the shuttles were slower:p:p

[madbad]

What placement by Guo. CHN are pumped

[gargoyle]

Pfffffff...... 2nd MD at different level

[ronk]

First game is almost over for Korea. Can they make a comeback in game 2?

[madbad]

A brief respite for the KOR. 18-9 still for CHN

[Jagdpanther]

Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, let's accept this result, and prepare for the next TC...

[drifit]

Chn one hand to the trophy.......................

[Calfy]

China Team are Cheering again

[madbad]

Short serve. CHN 19-11

[Jessica]

Its really weird to see two big man wearing such girly shirt..Haiz..

[robin7]

The KOR pair must regain their confidence by losing the 1st game "beatifully"...

1st game goes to CHN 21-12...

[khloe]

First game is almost over for Korea. Can they make a comeback in game 2?
no. i dont think the KOrea team will come back in 2nd game...i Think china team will win!!!:D:D:D

[Calfy]

Its really weird to see two big man wearing such girly shirt..Haiz..

ha yeh
they look more like boxers lol

[DinkAlot]

2 possible reasons:

1. the gym doors were closed and air pressure increased as u guys heat things up inside:p

2. the hot indoor make u guys all sluggish and groggy, so it feels like the shuttles were slower:p:p

Good analysis. I think both were in full effect. Heck, after one match, I felt dizzy and light headed.

Dang, Guo/Xie so strong, won the first game 21-12, I'm extremely impressed!

[Just4Kicks]

1st Game CHINA!!!!

[madbad]

Easy win for CHN. 21-12. What can the KOR coaches do to stop the ship from sinking?

[madbad]

Xie has his right shoulder strapped.

[ycchen]

everything is almost over... LJJ is like not in mood today... :(

[masjoko]

the KOREAN pair is one level below Guo/Xie pair

[Calfy]

Good Game by China

[badMania]

The KOR pair loses the first set easily 12-21.

[madbad]

Its really weird to see two big man wearing such girly shirt..Haiz..

Does the word gay come to mind. (Please people, don't be offended. Said with tongue in cheek :D)

[Just4Kicks]

Indonesia started the uniform craze with their sleeveless yonex shirts before

China now with their capped sleeves

I dont think its girly though. Maybe it just needs a little getting used to since we normally see traditional uniforms.

2nd set up next... will China continue their dominance or will Korea fight back this time?

[ronk]

Easy win for CHN. 21-12. What can the KOR coaches do to stop the ship from sinking?

Easy, get the big guns out and shoot at the Chinese. An AK47 will win every time:D.

[madbad]

CHN keeping the pressure on right at the start CHN 2-0 KOR

[madbad]

Indonesia started the uniform craze with their sleeveless yonex shirts before

China now with their capped sleeves

I dont think its girly though. Maybe it just needs a little getting used to since we normally see traditional uniforms.

2nd set up next... will China continue their dominance or will Korea fight back this time?

Why it looks girly is because these types of shirts (with capped sleeves) have been used exclusively by women. Didn't look out of place on Bao though :D:D

[robin7]

I saw Hauge and fastdrop... hehe...

[madbad]

KOR looking better now but a shot into the net evens at 4-4

[wood_22_chuck]

At the break, Tae-Kwan was animated instructing Jae-Jin. He was probably saying, "Look at their SHIRTS! How can you lose to someone wearing those half-sleeves!"

-dave

[Smichz]

Come on korea!!!Make it 2-2!!!

[gargoyle]

cmonnn koreaaaaaaa
8-7 korea

[abedeng]

Koreans try to salvage their chances. 9-7.

[madbad]

Short lift is dispatched with authority KOR 7-6

[Just4Kicks]

Korea might take this set...

[robin7]

What a rally... KOR 10-7...

[ronk]

Korea is making a mini comeback. Can they do it and win game 2?

[robin7]

Error by XZB. KOR 11-8 up...

[madbad]

KOR lifting less and controlling play better

[wood_22_chuck]

The momentum is shifting. I wonder if Xie/Guo has the mental aptitute to weather the Korean storm.

-dave

[Calfy]

CHINA cant get the controll of the net

[madbad]

Xie into the net. KOR 11-8. Some mistakes creeping into the CHN pair's game

[bradja23]

Kor will win game 2 ... and rubber .. and CY will also lose... I hope !

[madbad]

Good time for a break for CHN as they can recharge under LYB

[badMania]

Much much better from Lee/Hwang, as they lead 11-8 at the interval.

[Calfy]

China supporters and Team have quietened down again

[wood_22_chuck]

LYB's half-pants give the impression there's a flood somewhere. Half-sleeves, half-pant legs.

[madbad]

The CHN lifting is poor, many 3/4 court lifts and they are getting killed there.

[Smichz]

If korea win this game,then the victory will goes to the koreans..

[Calfy]

LJJ was so fast to the net

[madbad]

LYB's half-pants give the impression there's a flood somewhere. Half-sleeves, half-pant legs.

LYB is all about fashion. Never without his Armani cap ;)

[kungfukid]

both pairs r making mistakes...
under pressured

[Smichz]

Reduce errors now,korea!!

[madbad]

Now KOR's turn to make mistakes 13-12

[ctjcad]

..good morning all.......who's here??...wow, still playing....what's the tie's score??...

[madbad]

Time wasting by CHN

[robin7]

XZB's racket completely got smashed by GZD...

KOR 16-14...

[madbad]

..good morning all.......who's here??...wow, still playing....what's the tie's score??...

Morning Chris. CHN 2-1

[robin7]

All levelled up at 16-all...

[wood_22_chuck]

Team score: CHN 2-1

[drifit]

Kor under pressure again..........
Chn 16-17

[madbad]

Bao smiles nervously, still looking good in that girly shirt

[badMania]

Hwang Ji Man is the weak-link, making many unforced errors in this set. I counted at least 3 pts after the interval.

[wood_22_chuck]

CHN took the first set in this MD2

[Smichz]

Come on,keep it up..keep the distance,korea!

[skunklover]

good morning...still playing....
well...GO CHINA!!!

[madbad]

KOR noses ahead 17-16

[ronk]

Momentum is shifting to China. Can Korea hold on?

[drifit]

Korea 1st time in the final
do or die .......... :eek:

[ctjcad]

..thank you madbad & wood_22_chuck...wow, i can't believe my eyes CHN's MD2 is winning...is our kwun here??...

i can here the "KOREA! KOREA!" chants outvoicing the "JIA YOU! JIA YOU!"..

[robin7]

I saw some of the BC members (fastdrop, hwangkwokhau, Louisa, Michelle, Abedeng etc) sitting in a row at VIP area...

That are Lauren and Ants on the TV.... Wow both look good on screen...

[madbad]

What a soft touch from the big boy Xie 17-17

[robin7]

What a miss by LJJ at the net. 18-all...

[drifit]

really tense up for this 2nd game...........

[madbad]

..thank you madbad & wood_22_chuck...wow, i can't believe my eyes CHN's MD2 is winning...is our kwun here??...

i can here the "KOREA! KOREA!" chants outvoicing the "JIA YOU! JIA YOU!"..

kwun's here... barely
ants and smashie are famous. Nice shot

[ctjcad]

..XieZB is playing really well at the net..HwangJM might be tired after all those Singles matches..

[skunklover]

this is good...close...

[Dato A]

thought that CHN 2nd MD is easy meat...

[eaglehelang]

Guo/Xie beat Korea MD1 in India Open. After the embarassing lost to Msia Fuzzy pair, they buck up today

[Just4Kicks]

18 all

error after error from both teams

[kkkfans]

any of their photo can post?

[madbad]

Oh dear. Lee snatches at the shot and completely muffs it. 18-18

[kkkfans]

19 all nw....yea...china can

[madbad]

..XieZB is playing really well at the front..HwangJM might be tired after all those Singles matches..

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D nice one

[drifit]

game point to Kor...................

[bradja23]

20-19 KOR time to finish

[edwin]

Tied at 19-19 in the 2nd game. No matter what the outcome is, China for sure is delivering a very clear message that its 2nd doubles is not to be under-estimated.

[eaglehelang]

thought that CHN 2nd MD is easy meat...

Nope, not after watching them beat Lee/Jung in April. They left themselves at the hotel when they fought our Fuzzy :D;)

[madbad]

Tension rising 19-19

[skunklover]

19-19
jia you china!

[bradja23]

Game KOR !
Come on !

[robin7]

KOR managed to force a rubber...

[badMania]

A supposedly easy kill by Lee Jae Jin turned into an unforced error.

[madbad]

Poor shot into the net. KOR 20-19!

[wood_22_chuck]

Lauren's dreamie with those dimples. Ants keep all the cuties to himself.

-dave

[Tjun Tjun]

Fantastic! Koeans take the game into rubber.....21-19.........

[Smichz]

Another hope for korea,19-18..

[ronk]

Okay, one more game to go. Rubber game here we go.

[Jessica]

Great great fight back by the Korea..Come on..win it..

[madbad]

KOR wins 21-19. Can Guo/Xie hold it mentally?

[skunklover]

Korea wins 2nd game.

[ycchen]

oh man.... interesting game... :) come on, Korea....

[vincents]

fcuk me.... korea takes the 2nd set. Will they fade away though?

[Just4Kicks]

won by Korea!

1 game all

good luck to both teams on the rubber set!!

[jurong_twister]

Rubber Rubber ...

Definitely better show than those un-motivated Indonesian.

[badMania]

Another crucial mistake by Lee Jae Jin.

[ctjcad]

That's Lauren and Ants on the TV....

kwun's here... barely
ants and smashie are famous. Nice shot
...:)....i didn't see that...is our BC banner unfurled??..

[eaglehelang]

Btw, where's Ants & Lauren sitting, didnt spot them on the livestream ?

[ycchen]

come on Korea, don't lose 1-3... losing 2-3 is still ok... just like Malaysia... :D

[Smichz]

Yihaaaa...Korea 1-1.Come on!!!Win this game n thomas cup is urs,korea!!

[badMania]

An unforced error in front of the net by Guo Zhendong made it a rubber-set as the KOR pair took the second set 21-19.

[kungfukid]

huffffffffffffffffff.............
wat a final!!!
Little hope saved by Korean MD.

[eaglehelang]

...:)....i didn't see that...is our BC banner unfurled??..

so who won which match??..sorry for asking...:p

LD won MS1
Lee/Jung MD2
Bao Bao MS2

2-1 to China

[samuel882]

Btw, where's Ants & Lauren sitting, didnt spot them on the livestream ?
They are sitting behind the court in the VVIP area with the special pass:)

[madbad]

XXF looking nervous as she watches intently

[Jagdpanther]

From whar I hear, INA supporters in the stadium are supporting Korea...

[robin7]

LD is wearing a T-shirt with his own potrait on it....

[Smichz]

1-0..nice start for korea!

[madbad]

LD cheering his team mates on

[samuel882]

Not all the linejudges were local. I've met some from Canada & USA too

[Tjun Tjun]

Is LD wearing a T shirt with a picture of himself?

[madbad]

Lovely cross court drive catches CHN out. KOR 2-1

[madbad]

Is LD wearing a T shirt with a picture of himself?

Yes he is. That's a little too much. Talk about vain :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Smichz]

LD is wearing a T-shirt with his own potrait on it....

Yeah..he loves himself so much,i guess..:p

[ctjcad]

LD won MS1
Lee/Jung MD2
Bao Bao MS2

[Smichz]

Nice point at 2-1..smart play by the koreans..

[vincents]

HWang's defence........

[badMania]

Hwang Ji Man made yet another error....

[abedeng]

Koreans must cut down on errors, like what Malaysian fuzzy pair did against the same pair.

[edwin]

HWang's defence........

what about Hwang's defence?

[madbad]

Great rally ends up with Hwang putting the bird into the net

[z3048018]

yeap, saw ants and lauren....looking good!!!

[wood_22_chuck]

Xie's haircut looks Mohican.

[ctjcad]

..i've somehow underestimated CHN's MD2...:p...they're somehow holding their own...:p

crowd chanting "JIA YOU! JIA YOU!"....CHN up ahead 3-7..

[madbad]

CHN must keep it flat and not lift so much

[badMania]

A long rally ended with yet another error by Hwang Ji Man....predictable.

[skunklover]

jia you!!! china 7-3 lead.

[keanny]

btw what is the crowd shouting? "something2.. prok prok prok" i cant really hear it clearly..

[madbad]

Pushed out at the back. CHN 6-3

[Smichz]

O O...5-2.Come one,korea!!

[Calfy]

Lin Dan designed tht t-shirt himself n gave it to the fans hu went to his birthday thing

[wood_22_chuck]

Dae Ha Min Gook!

-dave

[badMania]

The momentum is now with the Chinese pair.

[Calfy]

NICE attack from china

[zengaj]

korea pair better wake up .... 3-9 now

[madbad]

Trying to have breakfast, watch and type at the same time. Dang, I'm making a mess :D:D

[skunklover]

korea trying to hld it together...

jia you China

[Just4Kicks]

the crowd is so beautiful... cheering and everything

[samuel882]

Dae Ha Min Gook!

-dave
Dae Han Min Gook is going to collapse:o :D:D

[badMania]

Another wide return by ... yes u guessed it...Hwang Ji Man....he was terrible this set.

[zengaj]

4-9 now ...........

[vincents]

korea looks fcuked, barring any meltdown from the Chinese.....

[abedeng]

XZB's drive hits his partner's body.

[badMania]

The Chinese pair focussed on attacking Hwang Ji Man and won another pt.

[madbad]

XZB's drive hits his partner's body.

OUCH :D:D:D:D:D:D

[zengaj]

5-10 korea pair has to wake up now

[ctjcad]

..the CHN pair is tunneling their attacks on HwangJM....crowd chanting both "JIA YOU! JIA YOU! along with the korean chants...

CHN is running away 10-4 KOR

[madbad]

Looks like LYB got the CHN pair refocused

[skunklover]

is one the CH players using the black prototype Arc10? or is the low resolution playing with my eyes?

[zengaj]

i think is game over for korea

Hwang Ji-Man's short backhand drive keeps going into the net.

I guess nobody would have thought XZB/GZD will claim the winning tie for CHN.

[madbad]

Xie looks pretty good at the net today. He's played some delicate and some clinical kills

[Just4Kicks]

HWANG JI-MAN has a target painted on his shirt

[zengaj]

6-12 now ..... china pair seem to be at top form .... they normally not so good

[Just4Kicks]

GAME is not over yet

[eaglehelang]

Oh yeah, what the crowd shouting & singing?

[zengaj]
