Very good. But on the other hand galleries don't last forever, hmmm. Could still be usefull to store them and upload yourself with an imagehost...
Predictions: WOMEN'S TEAM Denmark to beat Russia and face Germany in the SF. France to beat Scotland Netherlands vs England is 50-50. England has an edge in the doubles, with Netherlands in the Singles. Strange though that Yao Jie is not playing in singles MEN'S TEAM Denmark to beat Sweden. They will surely win the European Team Championships very comfortably with Peter Gade, an in-form Kenneth Jonassen, Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen and Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen in the doubles. The only weak link is perhaps Joachim Persson. Strangely, no Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen as I thought it will be a good opportunity for them to win some ranking pts. Germany to beat Wales Poland vs Netherlands can go the wire. Poland has Przmyslaw Wacha and Michal Logosz/Robert Mateusiak to win 2 points. Netherlands has 2 strong singles in Dicky Palyama and Eric Pang. England to beat Russia
England Uber team are in bad shape, losing the 1st two singles in straight games. Denmark 1 up on Russia. France 1 up on Scotland.
Scotland had beaten France 3-2. Tomorrow's semifinals will see Germany vs Denmark and Netherlands vs Scotland.
in germany we can watch the games of court 2 live @ bwin.de and we can bet on it...i just won a few euros with wacha beating palyama germany´s joppien has to got into the 3rd set...
to our duch members! will there be any telecast of the matches in dutch tv?? if yes, (how) can i watch it in germany??
yes No more England in women's section...goodbye England...Well I dun intend to see the English Thomas cup team in Jakarta either...Thomas cup would be better without Anthony Clark and Nathan Robertson
As expected, Poland and Netherlands shared the first 4 points, with Wacha and Logosz/Mateusiak contributing the points. Wacha became the hero as he partnered Adam Cwalina to seal the last tie and won it 3-2! Congrats to Poland! The Semi-Finals lineup: MEN'S TEAM Denmark vs Germany -- another 3-0 sweep for Denmark. Poland vs England -- could be another nail-biter here. Wacha and Logosz/Mateusiak to contribute the first 2 points, but, England has the edge in the other 2 singles and the second doubles. England to win this one, but, Poland has another chance to qualify for the Thomas Cup. WOMEN'S TEAM Germany vs Denmark -- it will be close with Xu Huaiwen and the second WD for Germany able to win the points. Nevertheless, Germany should qualify by beating Scotland in the playoff. Scotland vs Netherlands -- no question, Netherlands to win.
With England I am not that surprised cos Holland is a decent team...especially in the singles department...But France got knocked out is a dissappoinment considering they have Pi Hong Yuan who are ranked top 10 in the world...
that's the problem with team tournaments...it's a team tournament! , no matter how good 1 player does, if the team fails, you fail
Its a shame with Pi Hong Yuan....I mean losing to Scotland is a big blow for France....I mean on paper France is the better team
