Go forward with strength and glory

Malaysia will take on China very soon...
All players selected to represent should put their best foot forward and give it their best. Malaysia will be banking on the 2 doubles and at least 1 singles to upset the Chinese. That is a tall ordeer to make, as the Chinese have also concocted a formidable 2nd doubles. Lets hope the Malaysians will outdo themselves today by overcoming their more fancied opponents.

I'll personally just hope for a great and exciting match.. but.. I'm pretty sure that quite a few of our friends here in this forum would prefer if Malaysia more or less just rolled over.. so the chinese team could save up strength for the most likely final against Indonesia..

[wl2172]

To Klaphat...thanks but no thanks, we are not just going to "Roll Over". Your statement is an insult to sportsmanship and badminton. Your arrogance is not appreciated at all, and your statement is bordering on stupidity. If China plays well enough, then they deserve to go through, if not, then they deserve to loose.
By the way, I am sure Denmark would not "Roll Over" for Indonesia as well.
