    :D Hellooo?! Do you think hahasport is even close to being a legitimate streaming website?? They simply re-stream the stream they take from BET365 and/or BWIN ... Then at the bottom of the chain you have badmintonlink which embeds the hahasport stream that is streamed from BET365 originally ...

    You are correct; Let's forget about the Hong Kong Open. It's just a waste of our time.

    Let's follow the SEA Games instead. ;););)

    I can watch it just fine on BWIN without "hahasport" plastered all over the stream ;)

    you're on the way to becoming the Oracle:p, its not difficult to see the reasoning for your predictions. now for the matter, since MD Fu/Cai were given rest by walkover, i certainly hope the korean coach do not adopt this ugly,disrespectful,blatant disregard for sportmanship/fans, attitude of the Chinese coach. but who can blame him if he does, he is forced into it by LYB.
    All I know is that LYB has managed to make the whole world hate chinese badminton team. ( i am a big big fan of fu/cai, but i want to spit in their head coach face!)

    I think the last 10 points went like- 1 point for CJ, 1 for CL.. and so on and so forth. Also, here in India hahasport or any other link wasnt being streamed. I thought there is an official streaming from BWF on youtube.. had been following that since quarters. However, nothing on it now.

    The BWF's youtube channel should have broadcasted both afternoon and evening sessions, not just the earlier session... Looks like I'll be going to bed early then.

    yes, definitely more blood in the SEA Games to quench our thirst than any China-dominated tournaments.

    Next the XD, you will 'see' them come out and play,all guns blazing! Can Xu/Ma succeed this time over Fischer/Pedersen? I'm for CHN this round.

    Can somebody asks BWF, don't they have enough sponsors?

    Luckily,this afternoon Lin Dan's treat was so savoury that it saved me from WSX who might have given me a heart attack. Also,just learnt that , in the SEA Games, Fu Mingtian, whom I thought has more potential than Gu Juan,didn't disappoint by edging out Firdasari for the gold medal. In the semi, Firda upset Porntip while Fu MT, surprise surprise,sensationally defeated our new Princess Ithanon Ratchanok! Singapore has a promising future star now.

    Just maybe
    1) Lin Dan says he's not interested to play Chen Long tomorrow;
    2) Chen long says he's not ready to play Lin Dan yet and don't wish to waste and, in the process, reveal his new-found tactics/techniques on his compatriot; so
    3) Chen Jin says : Is it my fault they both don't want to play each other? Blame it on Lee for not beating Lin this afternoon; and
    4) LYB just shrugs his shoulder as if to say : what's it got to do with me?

    On the topic of Li YB, I must say frankly and objectively (and get flamed by some of you for saying this), which country wouldn't want a LYB who can deliver such magnificent results and achievements without breaking any rules and regulations;otherwise,why would coaches TXH,Xia XZ, ZN, etc continue working and be associated with him? I guess the only solution is for the other countries to produce a few more players capable of challenging China's dominance. For all you know,any other country in China's shoes might have done the same, all in the name of national interest,glory and fame. (Everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion,let's agree to disagree).:)

    The production is for TV, not for their YouTube channel which is simply a bonus channel to reach a broader audience with no tv coverage. What channel is going to show 10 badminton matches?? ;)
    Some HK channel should be the host broadcaster and if they only produce 5 matches for the international feed there is not much BWF can do ...

    Free coverage, still complaining ... [​IMG] I missed it completely starting at 6AM in the morning here

    It is not complaining.. it is requesting! A lot of people are up in the middle of the night to watch it and if you missed free broadcasting, bad luck :rolleyes:
