wow, truly multilingual, should be a language coach also

Lots of malaysians are multi-lingual, especially the ethnic Chinese

[QUOTE=badMania]Predictions in bold as usual.

MEN'S SINGLES

Lin Dan vs Chen Hong -- match of the day
Kuan Beng Hong vs Peter Gade
Lee Hyun-Il vs Bao Chunlai
Wong Choong Hann vs Chen Jin

--expecting yet another long match between Lin and Gade on Saturday night.

I don't think the match of the day will be between Lin and Chen since they are comptratroits. If Chen (or Lin but not likely Lin) actually tries to play like how he did during the 05 AE then we would have a good match. If Chen takes Lin out, Peter's chance of winning the tournament is incrased substantially.

I think the match of the day is between Lee Hyun-Il and Bao Chunlai while all the others should be good to watch also.

I'm suspect this will be the last match for JR/Lars. Jonas has a neck injury, and it was obviously they were struggling badly against Logosz/Mateusiak, a pair they normally beat without hardly breaking a sweat.

That's one heck of an accent.

Very impressive though.

It sounds like that people from small countries are all language expert. I bet Danes can speak Danish, English, Faroese, and German. Some of them may have to speak Greenlandic also. 5 languages too, exactly same number of languages Malaysians can speak. while people from big countries, like Americans can only speak English, and most Chinese from China (not from Malaysia) can only speak Chinese. Small countries are the driving force of the world.

Nice quote.

Sounds like something an economist or philosopher would say.

Just hope that Lin Dan vs Chen Hong match will be played in a true sportmen spirit. It will sound suspicious if anyone of them withdraw due to injury again.
Lets see.

i am not agreed with you..is not Chinese players dominate the game BUT other players should self-criticism why they lost the game!

Chen Jin is very good, young & matured player. You can see this when he played with Jonassen, even he is lag behind 0:8 but he pursued to 10:10 & win 15:10 in 1st game.

For me, I wanna see Bao Chun Lai overcome any opponents in final game & win the championship. He is a very good player, only he lack of confident & not be firm enough especially when he meet Lin Dan. If he can accelerate his speed & strengthen his psychology, i think he can win the championship in this tournament.

If both Bao & Chen Jin win in the quarter final, they will meet in semi final !!!
