I think the odd still favors INA, given that sony and taufik doesn't play like crap. It happened during the INA vs JPN game, so it can happen again.
Shon Sheung Mo won the last Olympic silver medal. He may be over his prime, but it is not easy for Simon to beat him. I would say INA's MS1, MS2 and MD2 are 51/49 and MD1 and MS3 are 49/51.
Simon has great footwork, decent racket skill and enough experience. On the other hand SSM relies on speed, power and smart play. SSM may do better facing one dimensional players but a complete and consistent Simon will have no difficulty controling him.
SSM was only "play acting" during the group matches. Yesterday he showed what he is capable of and with the koreans fighting spirit, it will indeed be great showdown with SS if the tie ever comes down to the MS3.
Champion wins all the way. It does not matter Malaysia against which team in semi-final. If Malaysia is the champion, he will win. Just treat tomorrow's Malaysia-China match as exciting FINAL MATCH lol.....
Actually Korea's trick almost get them ousted in quater final vs Denmark. They beated INA 3:0 in Semi but barely made it through facing Denmark. Korea should beat England and stay as 2nd in the group and face INA in quater final instead. Especially when INA already appear shaky barely winning the Thailand ties.
It's ridiculous for you to comment on their progress after the fact. Bottom line... look where they are now. Like you know what's better than their coaching staff...
Korea did a great job by doing that. But nevertheless as a professional, doing that is shameful by not daring to meet the opponenets..But whatever...congtas to them by entering the finals and hereby wish them for the thoams cup champion. Thank you
They have their own route to final. Malaysia very professional but how? It's the win of strategic. Shameful? put this word on KKK/TBH & Hafiz, this is more suitable.
