almost forgot - 3:40 here and after some begging and arguing, I'm sitting here with my coffee ready with my poster... Lin Dan Jia You!
Come on Xie Xing Fang 7-1. Finally, I have both PPStream and Sopcast open and playing simultaneously. PPStream is not doing good today.
Yes, Asians are better now, but not because Asians are intrinsically better at badminton. The pool and the level of competition in different. In England and Denmark (most of Europe actually), most people play football. Remember that Denmark only has a population of about 5 million. Per capita basis, that makes them much better than China and Indonesia. [This one is for the Indonesian guy in Cologne] It is very wrong to say that badminton belongs to Asia forever. That is arrogant and complacent. If football belongs to Europe and South America forever, then Asians can forget it. We may as well stop trying.
wow, that's an interesting observation...I guess it is true, Denmark with only 5 million people can do so well in the world stage compared to Indonesia's 240 million and China's 1.3 billion...on a per capita basis, they are the best!
