I have a feeling similar with Guangzhou TC 2002 match between CHI vs MAS. Same feeling that MAS have little chance of defeating CHI in semi. I hope that this time result is no different with that it.
Thomas Cup Li Yong Bo said on Press Confrence, if he is surprised with the bad perfomance of Indonesian Thoas Cup Team, espesially when play againts THai, and he want meet INA in Final so his Team can emmbarrasing Indonenesia on their Fanatic supporter what a comment btw in Semis is very difficult for INA, if taufik can get points, its can be INA go to Final, 2nd Single is the Key for INA, Guess: Sony LOst, MK/HS win, Taufik 50:50, Uncles 50:50, Simon Win 3:2 for INdonesia Uber Cup: Guess : Maria Kristin Lost, duo Tomboy Win, Firda Lost, JO/Poli Win, Pia 50:50 3:2 for Indonesia or Germany ?????
Chn vs Mal After days of 'exhibition' badminton, finally we have reached the semi finals stage. And finally the real TC begins! My take on tomorrow's Chn vs Mal, I would say the odds is at 80/20 in favour of China. However, if LCW can beat LD in the first game. Then I would rate the odds at 50/50, anything can happen. So, the key is LCW. If he wins, I will put my money on Malaysia springing a major upset. But if LCW gets a beating, I believe the entire Malaysian's challenge will collapse. I would rate LCW's chances of beating LD at around 25% - 30%. My prediction; If LD beat LCW. China will beat Malaysia 3-0 If LCW upset LD, Malaysia to beat China 3-2 (with LWW/CTF & KKK/TBH delivering the points for MAS) As for the other semifinal, I believe Korea can beat Indonesia. I see actually Korea going all the way.
whatever happen, Malaysia must prevent the tie tied at 2-2, coz Malaysia dont have 3rd reliable singles.
korea md are very strong..beware.. yesterday i saw kido/setiawan vs english pair and im very curious though.
Dont underestimate the Koreans. Mentally they are very strong. Their 1st and 2nd singles are pretty decent while their doubles are strong.
only way for malaysia to win, doubles must deliver both points...for china to win, singles don't lose...fairly good assumption right?
the strategy of random combination of MAS doubles has annoyed Fu/Cai's preparation in semi countdown....let's see if it works
mas has good chance to win if line-up like this; Choong wei Hafiz vs Cun Lai Arif CTF/LWW vs Cai/Fu KKK/TBH vs Guo/Xie
yeah...BCL hates to meet Hafiz for sure but for doubles it cud be: CTF/LWW; KKK/TBH or CTF/KKK; LWW/TBH or CTF/TBH; LWW/KKK
any pair of msia doubles can win over china's. But, if there's another scratched pair, i think the chance is bigger! Really hope the result is like Pemuda prediction!!!
MAS has chance if they just fight Who can expect Netherland lost 2:3 to China? On paper it's 3:0 China wins, but in reality it's just 2 points away from Netherland 3:0 China. If LCW thinks, Oh I must beat LD, otherwise my team has no chance, then I bet he will lose badly.
what do u mean by any pair? Fairuz/Zakri also can win over CY/FHF? Dont be too confident on it. 2nd MD yes if KKK/TBH is performing but 1st MD the chances i would say is equal 50:50. Dont look down CY/FHF, and LWW/CTF isn't that good also. Scratched pair? I dont think so.
