That's what I'm thinking too, who will meet CHN in finale Same case with Uber Cup, CHN is overwhelming fave to defend SC this time, but who knows we'll see huge surprise like UC last year
I dont know, relying solely on LCW may not take them that far i think especially when KKK/TBH not firing, and even so how about MAS WS WD and XD? At least for Korea, Denmark and Indonesia they have strength across the field, for example Denmark MD XD and WS are very competitive so too with Korea. For Indonesia I guess must rely on MD and XD and a surprise on MS.
My opinion... among all countries found in the Professional Players forum: China > Korea > Denmark > Indonesia > Japan > Malaysia I have doubts that Malaysia will beat Russia. Seems like a close one to me.
CHN's name is already engraved in this year Sudirman Cup. I think the thread should be revised to 'which country will be the runner-up in Sudirman 2011 and what the score will be?"
Better to loose now than later. MK/HS are also having difficult times ATM so perhaps its best for them to train with their coach. Bona/Ahsan OTOH needs big tournament experience, and this is the perfect op IMO.
