Surprisingly our so called "No hoper" girls gave the old MightyIndonesia a real good fight before losing 3-1. A big improvement from the Girls Singles despite the fact they lost.Good Job from the Coaches. Our doubles are impressive.Big improvement .There is no shame in your lost. Only a learning curve.Why shoot them . Not easy to play in Indonesia. Fight on Girls.
Not sure if the team manager is sleeping or what. Taufik is not at his best already.Sorry if i comment too rude
I don't think TH or Markis/Hendra should have been selected in the first place. This was the time to inject some new blood at this level of competition
Not against Singapore because he recently lost to Derek Wong. But if it's Malaysia, he did beat Liew Daren twice this year after all...
Bona/Ahsan win in 3-sets. The tall Songphon kept hitting the shuttle to the net, gifting the INA pair with many pts late in the third-set. I saw Koh Herry IP and Sigit Pamungkas in the coach corner. I guess Sigit is there as he's the main coach in charge of Kido/Hendra later on; while Herry is Bona/Ahsan's coach.
Precisely! I don't think they should include the seniors in. They are there simply because PBSI needs to deliver 4 golds and the officials are a bit skeptical that they can do it without Taufik and Kido/Hendra. I think they should include Rian/Angga as MD2 to expose them to more senior-level tourneys (despite them being ranked at no 22 now).
The lure of maximizing gold medals for INA me thinks Amazingly enough, BAM did the right thing by sending younger players for exposure. I can't believe I said that. Now I need to wash my mouth out with soap.
I think it's going to be impossible for INA to lose now. Both their remaining Singles are too strong if Markis/Hendra get upset by Bodin/Maneepong
The SEA Games 2007 had Muay Thai and Dancesport (obviously both dominated by the host country Thailand) as two of the sports. No doubt about it, the host country will typically win the overall medal count by a big margin (unless if its held at smaller countries like Singapore, Laos, or Myanmar).
Would be interesting to see what Timor Leste can conjure up for novelty sport if they ever get to hold a SEAG.
