now, let us enjoy today's matches.
the big one or the bigger one, let it be silence. :p:D

China vs korea final will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pretty confident that will be the outcome.

The match of the day is the one between Hong Kong and Japan. They are fighting to stay in the top group. I wonder if we will see ZM/WZ playing WD again. The Japanese WD team is pretty good.

China vs korea final will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pretty confident that will be the outcome.

I'm afraid it is unlikely to happen since INA has a slight edge on both WS and MS. And 50:50 for both MD and XD.

.....same for MAS. If KKK/TBH and WMC played like they did yesterday :eek:, then we are in for a treat. My prediction -

XD - CHN 70 : 30 MAS
MS - 50:50
MD - 50:50
WS - CHN 60 :40 MAS (Dun forget WMC's dragon slaying feats before) :D
WD - CHN 60 : 40 MAS

....so if MAS were to clinch it, MS, MD and WS got to deliver like they did yesterday :). Otherwise, it will be a 5 -0 win for CHN..:(

wow... russia challenging to break in to group 1. who would have thought 2-3 yrs back. good for the sport. good luck to them

Definitely agree. Our path to victory is through MD, WS, and MS. WD and XD not TOTALLY out of the game though... ;););)

now, let us enjoy today's matches.

.
Hahaha ... Aren't most of us still thinking of the big matches to be played tomorrow?

Hope that BCers from countries playing today can come in the show support for their teams.
.

wow , ashton win the game in 3 sets to make it 1-1 now..singapore vs chinese taipei

go go go Poland!:p

Poland - France : 3-0.

France relegated to group 3

And Poland win the ties 3-0;)
Pi Hong Yan doesnt need to step in the court.

Just checked into the hotel and met fastdrop, our estwhile, ahem, team official of the Philippines. But now things aren't looking good for them, down 0-2 to Portugal.

But Singapore's new prodigy, Ashton Chen is pretty good, almost like Tanongsak. Good mobility and brain.

Singapore MD is having trouble slowing down TPE young pair.

Pukhov tries to keep Russia in the hunt but Boonsak gets a 2nd wind.

Zweibler throws his wet shirt to the crowd as souvenir, having beaten Eric Pang in 3.

Singles to Portugal was to be expected and all doubles to Philppines (hopefully) :cool:.

as i said before for MAS to get into the final they have to score 3 points from MD, MS & WS. of course there is a chance, as in ZERO. they will be doing extremely well if they can get 1 point out of them 3!

ya,i agree u this time just like when u say hk will beat mas 3-2 or 4-1:)

It seems the Germans are bent on losing their shirt everytime they win .....

Yup, no wonder someone made out with Xu Huaiwen's shirt in last year's Thomas/Uber finals.

Thais return to the top fold with a comprehensive victory over th Russians.

Zhang Beiwen not in form and the Singapore challenge draws to a close.

Glaring misses on easy putaway.

Rest day:D:D....

Time to see some cute Japanese stuff in 1 hours time, meanwhile I need to do some snacking because dinner will be horribly late.

Come to think of it, maybe the cutie Reiko will not be able to feature in the match after all, if all is decided in the 1st 4 matches.

all players finished their "on court warm up", and referee is testing the shuttle cock in court four...looks like Kenneth Jonassen do the honour to serve the cock while referee is watching...

KJ finished his task, and sit beside Finn Traerup-Hansen. Only two of them sit on Denmark bench, while England team are complete and enjoy some snacks and fruits...

Welcome to Guangzhou, pak cik!

Danish supporters outside psych themselves up to play the olde enemy, England. Christinna Pedersen is giving them some pep talk..

Hey, where r u copadh? I am at seating area B, top row closest to seating area A

as i said before for MAS to get into the final they have to score 3 points from MD, MS & WS. of course there is a chance, as in ZERO. they will be doing extremely well if they can get 1 point out of them 3!

Hmmm, werent you the one who said it's possible for HK to beat Msia, citing scores of reasons? If you can say that, then others also........:p

Not necessarily the point must come from WS, there's also XD, if it's played early, depends on order of play & who Msia field - as either WPT or KKK will need to do double duty. Of course, of course, the expectation is Msia to lose 0-3 or 1-3, hopefully to get 1 pt thru MD, China's weakest dept.

Aah, Gillian Clark is seated almost diagonally opposite me.

The videos at the Li Ning booth outside showed how the Chinese squad underwent "torturous military training".

Pity the Mongolian girl, only equipped with 3 racquets, not even a racquet bag. But it's an honour seeing Mongolia compete.

I really hate those people who can't be seated on time, spoiling my view.

Grant you that if MAS going to score a point that most likely will be from the MD. Not quite sure about the head-to-head between FHY/CY and KKK/TBH but the last time I watched the Chinese pair played they haven’t lost a single game on route to become the AE champion. As for the XD, you’re having a laugh to hope for a point against HHB/YY!
Having said that LCW should have a fair chance again LD.

Japanese pair are lightning quick today. But sometimes their shot selection is risky.

England makeshift XD unable to contain Danes.

just wondering why everyone is targetting at CHN's MD, saying that they are the weakest dept. didnt they win all their games so far in the sudirman cup? didnt they win quite a lot of times against kkk/tbh? we could easily say the same thing for ld and lcw. anything can happen..

not me. the truth is for some people being no 2 is a failure, loser.

The Lithuanian male player is not half bad, brought his team back to steal the game from the Swiss.

Lightning HK counterattack applauded by Li Ning squad.

Great fast drive long rally won by Japanese.

Nobody cares ablout DEN-ENG? :)
Less experienced Gaby White is being targetted for Thomas dan Kamilla's smashes...

Ouch! Switzerland boy smashes right to Lithuanian girl...

Japs take 1st redemption pt, this tie is almost guaranteed 4 matches at least.

DEN take 1st point from XD, now it's time for young Jorgensen and Rajiv Ouseph...

Lithuanian coach shows his displeasure and shouts at his players for letting the Swiss back in the game.

The last time KKK/TBH beat Fu/Cai was just 2 months ago, 2009 Swiss SS, semi I think, very interesting match. There'll be no pressure on Msian players tomm, so..... The MS, dunno why, this LD take it easy or what, during Team events he tend to lose more to LCW as seen in Sudirman 2007 & TC 2008.

XD : Well... KKK/WPT just almost beat the OG gold medalist in the tie with Korea, and KKK/WPT havent been partnering lately, so nobody knows their standard. To me, LYD/LHJ is better than He Hanbin /YY, at least by half level.
As for Msia, Fairuz is blur2, that's why they lost to the Danes yesterday. I would prefer the gusty Razif Latif but they decided to bring the seniors instead.
You sure China will field He hanbin/ Yu Yang, not Xie/Zhang Yawen or Zheng Bo/Ma Jin? WD is just before XD if follow current format, then WD will be some other pair, not that it'll make much difference given that CEH seems still havent recover from back injury.;);)

Anyway, INA vs Korea is supposed much more intense, more interesting to watch.:D:D

Yippy's deception and attacking clears are too good for Sekiya.

Nobody cares ablout DEN-ENG? :)
Less experienced Gaby White is being targetted for Thomas dan Kamilla's smashes...

...

England doesnt seem interested to win this tie, they didnt field Clark/Kellog in XD, Andrew Smith isnt playing MS, MD also not their best MD, so no wonder ppl not interested. Denmark at least field their best in doubles dept.

...WD is just before XD if follow current format, then WD will be some other pair, not that it'll make much difference given that CEH seems still havent recover from back injury.;);)...

I agree with your opinion, only for new order of play. You are right, the official current order of play is MD-WS-MS-WD-XD, with some exception:
if an MD/WD player also play XD it becomes XD-MS-MD-WS-WD
(eq. tie between MAS-KOR and ENG-JPN)

England doesnt seem interested to win this tie, they didnt field Clark/Kellog in XD, Andrew Smith isnt playing MS, MD also not their best MD, so no wonder ppl not interested. Denmark at least field their best in doubles dept.

also in singles :D, Jorgensen and Nanna Jensen is their best singles following Peter and Tine absence. But you're right, England seem not interested to win by fielding their second line up.

Indescriminate flashing but there's no warning from the organizers.

Yippy tripped and almost got injured in the last rally.

Since it's quiet in here, we can discuss order of play. Actually ah, for Msia, all 3 group ties vs Korea, HK, Denmark the order is XD, MS, MD, WS, WD cos WPT playing XD, WD in all 3, KKK played XD, MD in the tie vs Korea.
So, the order of play tomm depends on who Rexy puts in XD, dont think he'll put KKK AND WPT again, too taxing for both. - Fairuz/WPT,Fairuz/NHL, KKK/NHL. Or if Rexy is really daring, do some weird pairing like HK did with Zhou Mi/Wang Chen, hehe. :p:p

did u manage to meet 'uncle' abedeng, copadh?:D

Yippy levels the tie, with an excellent crosscourt drop.

I think tomorrow mas vs china the order of play will be as follow.
MD,MS,WS,WD, and lastly XD;)
i got this idea frm yesterday's ina vs china match:p
lol

hehehe...after MAS training this morning Rexy clearly said MAS needs 1 point from MD. WPT could play XD and WD, but don't think KKK will.
Will be nice to see Rexy himself back on court again, playing XD for MAS...:p
(Saw him paired again with Ricky Subagja against Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto on an exhibition match during Candra Wijaya MD Tournament couple weeks ago. He still has good defence and his 'magic' tricks, very entertaining to see....:D)

did u manage to meet 'uncle' abedeng, copadh?:D

Not yet, but I will...:cool:

Sasaki has better control in the opening exchanges of the MS match.

Rajiv Ouseph feeling the strain now.

If I were Rexy, I will only allow KKK and WPT to play 1 match each. This is to ensure MD to be played first followed by WS & MS. Hopefully, MAS has already won 3-0 by then (dreaming :p). At least, this will put some "pressure" to the CHN team.

haha,i hope to see rexy/koo on court;) hehe

MD: KKK/TBH - must win for Malaysia
WD: CEH/WPT - China has the upper hand but CEH and WPT could give them a run for their money. Unlikely though, based on their recent performance
MS: LCW - must win for Malaysia. Can LD shake off his group tournament (TC/WC) curse? I hope not :D
WS: WMC - must win for Malaysia.
XD: ? - sure win for China if it comes down to this.

You mean the same pressure during TC08 that was suppose to apply to Cai/Fu after LD lost? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Gillian Clark also expressed her disappointment with ENG's line-ups.

Sasaki, massacre-aki yan kit chan-aki! Nippon beat HK, pretty please :p.

He he, just met copadh, turns out he's a journalist covering the event for Indonesia.

You mean the same pressure during TC08 that was suppose to apply to Cai/Fu after LD lost? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I mean by having the default order of play (MD-WS-MS-WD-XD), if MAS can steal 2 pts from the 3 matches :p, CHN will feel the pressures on WD & XD.

if mas is to beat china,md,ms and ws MUST win(oh,i in my dream again:o).
but,i will be happy as long as china only lost point to mas:cool: like 2007:p

hehehe...after MAS training this morning Rexy clearly said MAS needs 1 point from MD. WPT could play XD and WD, but don't think KKK will.

I mean weird pair up like : CEH/TBH or TCS/NHL play XD, or Fairuz/TBH play MD, kakakaka. Korea likes to tinker that way. :p:p Another possibility is NHL play WD, so WPT can concentrate on XD.

But MD can also be played 1st if KKK play MD & XD, XD is last. KKK/NHL is better bet than Fairuz/NHL. THen WPT only play 1 dept.

LUX & ISL have already won in less 2 hours. :eek:

Sasaki, massacre-aki yan kit chan-aki! Nippon beat HK, pretty please :p.

he will;)

well,better pair up tcs and nhl in xd:p
anyway,i hope koo and wong only play one department:rolleyes:

Gillian Clark also expressed her disappointment with ENG's line-ups.

Ya lah, it's only to determine 5th & 6th place. So, quickly close shop, go have some delicious Chinese food.
Japan vs HK seems more interesting, I'll download that when it's up, want to see the young Japan MD - K & K play.

Very interesting fast and long rallies in this match, the crowd gets excited.

I mean by having the default order of play (MD-WS-MS-WD-XD), if MAS can steal 2 pts from the 3 matches :p, CHN will feel the pressures on WD & XD.

If no MAS player play two matches, might be CHN will, they could send Yu Yang to play XD and WD to change the default order, XD will play first and CHN take 1st point...

well,better pair up tcs and nhl in xd:p
anyway,i hope koo and wong only play one department:rolleyes:

Yup, TCS is MS player, sure confuse opponent :p:p. Too bad Julia injured, if not she can also play WD, since she used ot do that with Anita bf Anita left.

He he, just met copadh, turns out he's a journalist covering the event for Indonesia.
Kompas, Bola, or...? :)

Of course, CHN is very good at strategising.

Time for Zhou Mi and Wang Chen to give Reiko Shiota a chance to feature in the final match.

ya,copadh,tell us more about urself:p

if mas really aim for semis or final,they should bring more player:mad:

Kinda weird, Zhou Mi wearing shorts and Wang Chen with her normal skirt. Well at least, they have matching colours.

Ah.. goody, Wang Chen/Zhou Mi playing WD again. Wonder what tricks these two will have.

Cut cost mah. THey didnt expect the team to actually make it.

England trying to extend their tie to a fourth match. Danish MD start a chase.

Should I call u om? :p

Cut cost mah. THey didnt expect the team to actually make it.

u will never success when want the horse to win a race but u didnt feed it;)
anyway,as our goverment are so SUCCESSFUL now,i have no comment about it:mad:

what a devious mind you got!


:eek::eek::eek:

Wow, England 2nd MD beat Boe/M, not bad. Boe/M & Lars/Jonas dont seem to be in form this tourney, maybe due to the absense of Tine, then later PG, all pressure on doubles to win.

Japanese girls are too smart, easy placements and putaway after both HK girls are pushed to one side.

if mas really aim for semis or final,they should bring more player:mad:
Cut cost mah. THey didnt expect the team to actually make it.
I don't think the numbers of players will make any difference. Btw, our target is just SF. From what I read, Rashid seems to be very contented with the first SF appearance.

....mmmmmm.....Rexy? :D:p

How come Denmark vs England suddenly WD is playing with the tie at 2-2? WS Nana walkover ?

Sarah Walker gets a walkover as Nanna withdrew due to injury as confirmed by Gillian.

ENG 2 -2 DEN

....mmmmmm.....Rexy? :D:p

ask tbh wear long hair and play xd:p joke aside
mas should bring minimum 12 start from next sudirman:mad:

How come Denmark vs England suddenly WD is playing with the tie at 2-2? WS Nana walkover ?

Sarah Walker gets a walkover.

ENG 2 -2 DEN

WOW:eek:
unbelieveable:rolleyes:
what happen?:confused:

HK girls prefer to play side to side even during attacking.

Something happened with Nanna?
Scoring board show DEN 2-2 ENG, with Juhl/Kristiansen and Wallwork/Kellog to play

no one expected any serious injury but
julia is injured at 2nd match,if wmc injured at 3rd match,who play?ng hui lin?wong pei tty?chin e hui?
2 WS injured one after another? That's would be disaster.

I wonder why Danes conceded to WS. Now it's 2-2 and WD will determine who wins.

....mmmmmm.....Rexy? :D:p

Male cannot play WS mah. :p
Anyway, it seems they didnt even expected injury as only WMC & Julia's name were listed. KBH, Hafiz, TCS names were listed cos they couldnt decided who's going till last minute.

Sarah Walker gets a walkover as Nanna withdrew due to injury as confirmed by Gillian.

ENG 2 -2 DEN

thank you robin, can't hear Gillian here

Cut cost mah. THey didnt expect the team to actually make it.
Waste taxpayers' money, or so he says... :rolleyes:

2 WS injured one after another? That's would be disaster.

julia injured is unexpected,but wmc injury didnt 100% recover yet i believe.
is yesterday wmc injured and wd win,who play ws against china?:rolleyes:rashid sidek?
cut cost!!!crazy:mad:

HK girls don't have doubles rotation discipline.

I wonder why Danes conceded to WS. Now it's 2-2 and WD will determine who wins.
because that doesnt matter! they are hardly going to tell their grandchild in donkey years that we beat them in the 5th/6th playoff in 2009, are they?

Swiss make it 3-1, saving me from a heartattack :D. 9 points in the pocket ...

As the going gets tough, Donna Kellogg complains to the umpire.

Swiss make it 3-1, saving me from a heartattack :D. 9 points in the pocket ...


SUI team running to court after MD match, and have some celebration there... Happy for them

I don't think the numbers of players will make any difference. Btw, our target is just SF. From what I read, Rashid seems to be very contented with the first SF appearance.

Yes. Complaints about the number of players should be done earlier, not now. It won't make any difference. If the target is semifinal, they'd made it with this very amount of players. So, mission accomplished.
I'd be happy if the players had the tendency to surprise themselves, and us.
China vs Malaysia - I can't wait for the good games. ;)

Wang Chen hits a shuttle that was going out.

Latest news : CEH and MKY might not be featured in SF tomorrow..

Hong Kong gets relegated and my chance to see Reiko perform disappears.

Just like the victorious Swiss team, Japan was ecstatic about maintaining their place in the elite group.

Latest news : CEH and MKY might not be featured in SF tomorrow..
Due to their injury? :crying:

Latest news : CEH and MKY might not be featured in SF tomorrow..

Jenny Wallwork driving home the point that we need to stay for the rubber game.

Due to their injury? :crying:
According to reports, both of them aggravated their injuries during yesterday matches..
CEH is almost 90% sure can't be continues and will be replaced by NHL
While MKY is still at 50-50 chances

Eng and Den both using aggression, quite an unladylike match out there.

Danes celebrate retaining their 5th position with a run of 6 straight pts.

Kamilla and Lena show good fighting spirit. Rexy said, he wants his players learn it from them

1) Never mind, my bro, next time, the coaches will have reason to say "Must bring more, see in 2009, Julia injured, CEH injured.":D
2) And the singles coach next edition better name 3 WS in the list, just in case.

3) Actually ah, WPT did double duty for 3 ties, without NHL playing. They should have replaced CEH earlier, finally I get to see NHL play WD with WPT, if they get to play lah.:p

Now hitching a ride home with the whole victorious Japanese team.

At last, I got to see Reiko close up.

Your shuttlers down 'cause of injury, and that's your response?

He he, just met copadh, turns out he's a journalist covering the event for Indonesia.

..have you met up w/Krisna??..he's supposed to be there..
..any pictures to share, abang Din??..:confused:

HK girls prefer to play side to side even during attacking.



.
I believe that they said to each other "Let's play Half-court Singles against them Doubles".
:D:D:D
.

hmm, CEH is the latest injury victim for mas team.
groin injury, so next, ng hui lin will make her debut in this sudirman cup in the semi final stage:rolleyes:

he will;)



hope mas player really play with no pressure:rolleyes:
today semi final outcome will just have to depend on the players;)

I wonder why Danes conceded to WS. Now it's 2-2 and WD will determine who wins.

2 WS injured one after another? That's would be disaster.

A bit late :p but it was a knee injury. Haven't completely watched the videos yet so don't know if it was mentioned. Didn't think so during the WD http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/76.gif.
