Okay results are all out by now. India won Germany 5-0 Chinese Taipei win South Africa 5-0 Malaysia win Korea 3-2 Thailand win Indonesia 3-1.
It has been too obvious by now. I must admit the truth. Korea MS weak. Son Wan Ho not up to standard. Lee Dong Keun not up to standard. Jeon Hyeok Jin inexperienced. Definitely this factor makes it difficult for Korea to top the group. Plus Korea dependable MS Lee Hyun Il is too old to play now.
Yes and congratulations to team Malaysia for showing us such a good fighting spirit, never giving up spirit. Congratulations for winning. Malaysia really deserves to win today and top the group match.
Malaysia Thomas Cup team have shown us what a good fighting spirit is. Fight till the last never give up and win it. I am very amazed by the Malaysian Thomas Cup team. They have been very impressive and played extremely well.
Shon Wan Ho can beat any MAS MS players but LCW... Lee Dong Keun just cannot play against fast attacking Iskandar And Jeon Hyeok Jin, too bad his opponent is not Goh Soon Huat instead is "team-event king" Chong Wei Feng...
Indeed.. credit to the team.. and kudos to Iskandar in 2nd MS game, beat the Korean who are 20 rank higher than him.
To be honest reshuffling the MS for Korea side wouldn't have changed the result. If the line up today is this MS 1 Son Wan Ho MS 2 Jeon Hyeok Jin MS 3 Heo Kwang Hee won't win as well. If the lineup today is this MS 1 Lee Dong Keun MS 2 Jeon Hyeok Jin MS 3 Heo Kwang Hee Also won't win. This is because Korea MS still not strong enough.
Just exactly like Thomas Cup 2014 Malaysia once again top the group match winning over Korea in 2014 and now 2016. Congratulations.
Lee Hyun Il would have fared better against Chong Wei Feng though... where CWF's experience far exceeded Jeon's, Lee HI's experience far exceeds almost anyone else currently playing on the international circuit!
