so the winners for each categories are as follows..: ms-chen jin ws- tine rasmussen md- JJS/LYD wd- Lee/Lee XD- zheng bo/gao ling
many people comment without seeing the matches....as usual suspect....some are pretending to know everything....
Just don't bother Even the majority of Chinese fans have a similar feeling if you read the discussions at chinabadminton.com
Hauge, I am not as rich as U, so I just watched on TV (14" only). So, I DID "see" the match (CJ vs LD)
They cannot read Chinese mah (like me, he he). Anyway, tommorrow we must start engine to cheer for the qualifiers of Swiss Open
TV viewing cannot match courtside impressions.Next year , before PAWing, be smart and check out jamesd20 reviews. His prediction for champions based on SF performance was perfect except MS.Would have been perfect without LYB cooking.
hmmm... i dun understand u guys... about the match between LD & CJ... When they played, u guys said its a fixed match, LD pretends to hav injuries, this n that... So, no difference? to u guys, play or didint play, it will be a fixed match right? so why bother to watch??? why LD cant hav injuries and LCW can? how would u noe that LCW is not acting as he's scared of losing n had to find excuses 4 the loss...
Of course LD can be injured, read James's review of AE Finals as to the difference. Errrr, LCw's knee injury was for 4 SS- Denmark, France, China, HK Opens, that's a long time to fake it. And when injury was used for Denmark Open Semi lost, he was said to be using it as excuse- cannot use injury reason loh. China & HK Open, the reason was bad line judging, not injury, that also not acceptable, "mentally weak". Any reason he give also seen as excuse, so no point to fake it. If it was faked, he would have to be in cohorts with the NSC medics too since his knee in ice packs was shown on tv.
When I "read" into this 2008 AE MSF match between LD & CJ, it seems to me that LD is trying to "tell" the rest of us that he is the real boss of the game. Unfortunately, he is only allowed to lose, but when & how to present to the rest of the world, then it is up to LD. Superficially, it seems to be a very hard fought "battle", a very closed game, 22-20 & 25-23, looking very good on the "book" & for those who doesn't know much about badminton but for the rest of us, LD has no choice but to "play" with the written "script" & the "ending" must be a happy one for CJ. In this case, one more Olympic spot for China means one less spot for other country & this spot may belong to LYI or TH etc. Is it fair? Well, this, I don't know. Have a nice day!
Yup...that was what many of us hd in mind, including Chinese fans as well Lin Dan just simply "didn't give face" to Chen Jin by losing by "such a narrow margin"....which of course confirmed his superiority to ALL of us. Despite the fact that he "was injured", he could still lose only narrowly. That was also one reason Chen Jin did not celebrate much after the victory. He knew who's the boss really....and he was much dependent on the boss to "lose" to him
for those of u who missed the final of the all engalnd 2008, astro supersport, channel 811 is showing the mixed double now!
biased. if LYB wants to fixed the match, he can start it from BCL vs LD, whereas CJ has already enter the final. BCL & CJ needs more points to qualify to OG than LD. CJ win bcoz he is the better player compare to LD, but a credit should give to LD for his effort.
this ppl always biased. always suspect there was a match fixing in Chn vs Chn match. CJ win bcoz he is the best in AE 08. LD got injured, and it is normal in badminton BCL needs more points so he can still survive in top 4, or he would say goodbye to OG. why LYB didn't fixed BCL vs LD match in SF?
I'm still disappointed with CHN's performance in this AE. but I'm still happy bcoz our rival (Mas & Ina) can't get a single title
