[drifit]

during a training session.
one of the trainee breaks the racket.
the racket flew......... heading to the coach that sit at side.
the broken racket hits the head, in between eyes. however, the coach survive the freak accident.

i am wondering..... is this related to another thread?? :confused:

[giant]

[jimbo]

with Federer out and Nadal in the Final, it's possible that LCW will upset LD in the final... Let's see... :eek:

Lin Dan is playing like Federer 2 years ago :cool: and at wimbledon 2 years ago.

[jimbo]

Lin Dan is playing like Federer 2 years ago :cool: and at wimbledon 2 years ago.

and LCW is playing like Nadal 1-2 months ago when he thrashed Federer and won the Wimbledon Open ;)

Being realistic, LD still have slight advantage... but i hope a good fight from LCW for an upset :eek:

[sysoh]

Head to head
LCW : LD
5 : 8
LCW won in:
Thomas Cup 2008
JO 2007
Sudirman Cup 2007
MO 2006
MO 2005

LCW lost in 3 consecutive finals in 2006: Chinese Taipei, Macau and HK open.

[jimbo]

i didnt expect LCW to win against the mighty SuperDan but at least he made it to the final, and justified his No.2 ranking. That, I'm proud of it... we should be happy for the silver but i want to see the fighting spirit... :)

Msia Boleh...!!! :p

He needs to create immense pressure to LD in front of his home crowd by leading, e.g. 5-0.

[Dimplex]

Pemuda will go bald if LCW won the GOLD... I'm looking forward for his new BALD head photo or may be in youtube... :p

After watching Kido/Setiawan beat the odds to win the MD GOLD by beating the home crowd favorite, I now have a little more faith in our LCW... just a little more... dats all... ;) I am a practical guy...

We'll know their fates by Sunday nite... whoever wins, we should be proud of LCW... :)

[Jagdpanther]

I'll support Lee CW, as promised.
Malaysians, my dear friends, please make sure you'll support our XD pair in tomorrow final as well.

I was jumping off my chair when Kido/Setiawan clinched the "GOLD" point... unbelievable win... they will join Rexy/Ricky and Chandra in the Hall of Fame in INA... congrats... :)

[Zealous]

I think this is so far the best Olympic man's single final. Hopefully both will play to their maximum potential ( wish I think they will) to entertain us. :p
Chong Wei jia you !!!

You may end up with a satay bet only:eek:... that's the usual thing that makes some people sound like tough guys and allow them to open some people to open their big mouths shooting out predictions.

Excuses, excuses, excuses

[jimbo]

Excuses, excuses, excuses

haha... i DIDNT started all these bets (hmm... who did???), but i'll look forward to your new photo :p:D

[cooler]

I hope our LCW is inspired by the win of Nadal in the most gruelling 5hrs Winbledon Final to beat the 5-times defending champion, Federer. If LCW and LD meets in the OG Final, I hope LCW will do what Nadal did...
Msia Boleh.... LCW Boleh... :D

========
Rafael Nadal has won his first Wimbledon men's singles title after holding off a stunning fightback from five-times champion Roger Federer to secure a dramatic victory in an epic rain-affected five-set final.

Nadal triumphed 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7 in fading light in the longest men's final in Wimbledon history, as the French Open champion prevented top seed Federer from becoming the first man in history to win six successive titles.
========but nadal said federer is still the BEST:p

[cooler]

sorry to dissapoint U. I cant take up this challenge coz i dun hv a shave at home... :D:p looking forward to your photo/video in youtube :eek:

Pemuda should have the honor. :cool:

[huangkwokhau]

I hope LD vs LCW will last in 3 sets....tough to predict......Both have pressures....
LD's pressure: plays at Home and need another Gold to make it 3 as China's target.
LCW's pressure:Try to be first Gold medalist for MAS.

[Krisna]

I predict a LCW victory with a scoreline like this: 29-27, 23-25, 30-29. :p

[apontoh]

I predict LCW to win, in 3 games. LinDan to win the first game, LCW winning the last two. 16-21, 21-18, 22-20.

[cooler]

I predict a LCW victory with a scoreline like this: 29-27, 23-25, 30-29. :p

[TKG2609]

[wood_22_chuck]

I pledge to fund jimbo going to a salon for his shave, up to a maximum of 80 Ringgit, or whatever they charge there.

[Silencer]

The score will be like this trust me on this ^^ LCW to win in 3 sets
21-18,16-21,21-18

the most predicted and anticipated matches will start in a few hours. in case you have been living in a well sealed cave, that's the Beijing 2008 Men's Single final between Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei.

over the course of the Olympics, BC has been transformed into a "lively" discussion forum. but unfortunately, there are also negatives popping up amongst the discussion. being a forum with memberships from almost every badminton nation large and small, it is understandable to have differences in opinion. however, it is absolutely inexcusable for these difference in opinion to turn into endless argument and virtual fist fights. i am glad we are not gathered in one room otherwise i am sure i will be spending the next week wiping blood off the floor.

so anyway, in anticipation of the final battle, BC will enforce the follow rules of discussions:
be a good winner
rejoice at your own winning, but don't overly boast it.
do not rejoice on other's loss
be a good loser
praise other people's success
admit defeat like a lady/gentleman
respect others
no name calling
no tit-for-tat insult
no foul language
discuss in our common language: English remember that others will judge not only you, but also your country, culture on how you behave. if you behave poorly, it will ultimate hurt the image of your own country.

in the short week we have a handful of ban and moderators have deleted posts in the number that exceed total posts count in many other small forums. we will make sure that moderation will be super tight during and after the final.

so this evening, enjoy, have fun following the matches with your fellow badminton lover.

and may the better player win.

I hope LD vs LCW will last in 3 sets....tough to predict......Both have pressures....
LD's pressure: plays at Home and need another Gold to make it 3 as China's target.
LCW's pressure:Try to be first Gold medalist for MAS.

Never an easy game between them...#1 play #2 in the biggest game on the biggest stage with billions watching, these 2 have played each other so many times that it is only fitting for them to play in the final...the margin of skill between them are so close esp in 21-point system...who has the better nerve will have the edge...both have been playing very well so far...and both knows the other can beat them...if I am betting, I beat on LD with 51% to 49% for LCW...gonna be great game, and whoever win should have no excuses being an OLY game (non partisan referee and linepersons, I hope), not BWF organized...may the best player wins.

[SibugiChai]

51% & 49% seems to be the best description of the SHOWDOWN!

Most of my fren think LD will win!

[leonardklh]

chong wei to beat lin dan tonight...

[Jinky]

Gonna be one of the favourite match in history...haha

[vching]

I will go as far as.. if Lin Dan doesn't win the gold medal tomorrow for whatever reason, I will NEVER EVER post on this forum EVER EVER EVER AGAIN... and NEVER will I use a different login name EVER EVER and EVER!!!:cool: That's how much I am willing to put on the line, and the confidence I have in Lin Dan.

Alan Y will eat his hat if China did not win over 3 golds......I guess it happened already....he was so confident that no one can beat chinese players in china......

[hoiboy79]

Match of the century, just a few hours away. Even I'm getting nervous lol. I just want Chong Wei to win so badly.

I would say the fast, furious and determined Lin Dan....

[Louisa]

To our Chong Wei...play all out, for yourself, for the nation....

"有勇气就有奇迹"....fight bravely and miracle happens

Come on. You got no faith in that Malaysia Boleh battle cry of yours?? Or you actually got no faith in LCW??

Come on dude, you talk the walk. Now lets see you walk the talk.
Put on some pants and lay in on the line.

[X Ball]

LCW will score a 'balding' win for us tonight. :)

[wood_22_chuck]

Wow. Lin Dan is supremely devasting, holding Lee Chong Wei almost no chance to craft any sort of attack.

Chong Wei made headway when adopting a more attacking, offensive play, but when the Misbun-style strategy took over, Lin Dan would have none of that.

In addition, those trick deception shots that Chong Wei chanced at the net, are extremely low percentage, against Lin Dan's supreme fitness, blazing footwork, and on the whole, fire and determination.

The bronze medal match scored higher and was much more entertaining than the gold medal match.

Sadly, based on this match, the gap between World Ranking #1 and #2 is like Federer and the rest of the world 5 or 6 years ago.

Sigh. You keep your hair. Damn! :(:(:(:(

[Smichz]

Er... Rather than Federer vs Nadal, it looked like Federer vs Indonesian tennis player, really.

[Armortec2010]

2-0 straight down.

Lindan wins with dominance. Really no surprise there.

[george@chongwei]

If he loses, we will force LCW to spend a night with Saifool Bukhari!
