    I take his statement on its own merit, irrespective of what influenced or provoked him.

    Yeah but it turned out he was wrong and not without disrespecting the players or the supporters.

    As it would when people mentioned about China having anything to do with match fixing or whatever. You should know about it. You won't call any statement doubting China a fair statement would you?

    Yeah, it's all Li/Liu's fault. If they had let minions win yesterday, minions wouldn't have withdrawn and they would have risked losing today. What a big shame.

    Watching world ranking number 14 playing world number 17 for playoffs spot. There is something seriously wrong in qualifying criteria that one of these pushovers is going to be in top-4 in tournament where only the very best players are supposed to participate.

    What a bad day for INA. Minions withdrew from the match. Marcus' injury is getting worse. Now, it affects his eye too. Hope he will recover faster.

    Looking from INA's result, I guess I have to accept the fact that there will be no INA players in SF. This result is worse than WC this year.

    With this injury streaks of MG i fear for next year WC and 2020...Hope he does something before the majors esp Olympics.

    I so badly wanna see the Minions with at least an Olympic medal to fulfill their career cause it would be very unlucky to go down the history as No.1s without an Olympic medal.

    I wish him speedy recovery.

    Im more sad by ASG's performance more of annoyed with him..for minions at least its understandable cause theres an injury but ASG...Im pissed at him..he didnt even fight for heaven's sake.

    Hope he brings his AG form back

    It's affecting his eye? That sounds like some nerves might have gone wrong? Hopefully nothing serious.

    Again, a fallacious argument on your part, whether I'd ' call any statement doubting China a fair statement ' depends entirely on the merits and demerits of the statements or claims made, nothing else.

    Just one loss out of nine meetings doesn't prove anything, only that for Li/Liu, the psychological gain of believing they can take on the minions, that they aren't unbeatable, is significant, not that they are suddenly better than their opponents, that's all. No need to take it so hard. You win some, you lose some.

    It reminds me of some ridiculous INA fans, with one going to the extent of saying something like 'Natsir was playing on one leg' - utter rubbish, for badminton at the highest level, just some discomfort or mental disturbance can affect your game considerably or even cost you the match, let alone carrying a real injury and for so long at that.

    I'd urge , allow me the liberty to be presumptuous, that you take a leaf from CLELY, if only INA has many more fans like her, not only will INA badminton return to her former glorious days, even INA as a nation will grow strong, prosperous and be admired one day.

    The way Ginting played yesterday against Shi Yuqi in G1 gave me the impression that he hasn't gotten over his previous day's loss to Chou Tien Chen. Today, in his match against Son , he really lost heart.
