You have got to be kidding... people in Malaysia want to see Lin Dan kicking LCW's butt again???

Team China is doing Malaysians a big favor by not kicking their hero's butt in front of the home audience.

well, my dear little kid...though we dislike everytime LD kicking LCW's butt, who can deny that without LD & other top guns, the game is becoming less entertaining & competitive?

I am not looking down at others, but with their present here in KK, they surely add spices & colours to the game. Don't you think so????

Even if LD is kicking LCW's butt, we have to admit that he plays better than LCW...

In SO08,our tournament had no CHN MS or MD or WS(?) present.The tournament was just as successful and worth every $ we paid for. In any tournament,there will be some great matches and boring ones.How great were the MS matches in HKO08 without LCW's presence?
LD played better than LCW in CHN territories if their 2008 matches were any indication.That's why CHN's opting out of MO09 and KO09, not just SSF.I don't expect LD to turn up for SO09 or IO09 either.Has LD ever won in IO,MO or SO? Nearly.

That was 2007. I said 2008.
Surely you can monitor LYB's confidence in his team by where he fields them.Let me predict for you where he will field LD for 2009.
AE,SWO,WC?,TO?,DO,FO?,JO,CO1,CO2,HKO.

LYB is not confident even with LD the WC 07 and Olympic Champion 08.....to play in places like Korea and SEA..........

or it is the other way round?

ppl in malaysia would like to see lcw's come back from behind in the 3rd set again to kick LD's butt from behind

maybe lin dan is afraid the same thing happened in kuching durING mo06 will happen again in this year SS Finale in KK, Sabah.?
