    CJ cannot finish even one not-that-hard match without triggering his injury... :(

    Sounds familiar, but Malaysia still lost if memory serve me right :D I do agree Korea is slight better than Malaysia having Lee Hyun Il as MS2.

    But he won the game nevertheless!! and it is a crucial one. I think you have really underestimated his ability. At this stage he can beat TH even with injury.

    forget about reading Chinese players mind. i mean come on, how can one ever do it? when they look injured, they are not (ala CJ in HKO2007). and when they don't look injured, they are! (CJ in TC2008)

    If china is putting CJ for the final, i am sure the injury wasn't that serious at all (or there isn't any to start with), just the LYB strategy to confuse opponent.

    I really doubt that CJ could beat HH with back injury. He must be at his best or LYB wouldn't field him at ll.

    Still amazed me how Korea make it to the first final. Losing to both Malaysia and ENgland in the early stage but now they are laughing their way into the final. LYB is having headache now i bet;)

    sorry incomplete post. it should be:

    Two outcomes as i predict:
    CHN: KOR = 1:3
    LD beat PSH
    CY/FHF lost to LYD/JJS
    BCL lost to LHI
    GZD/XZB lost to LJJ/HJM

    CHN: KOR = 3:2
    LD beat PSH
    CY/FHF lost to LYD/JJS
    BCL beat LHI
    GZD/XZB lost to LJJ/HJM

    It's a shame for a team to win the cup in such way, purposely lose all group matches

    China 3-0 or 3-2, LD, BCL FHF/CY with 3 quick wins or 3-2, with two of the above winning and CJ or CY picking up the third point!

    I am rooting on Korea too. And I rather think MS1 would be most important. Korea has a good chance if PSH create miracle again by beating LD and they will be likely to steal 1 pt from MD2 and 50:50 on MD1 and MS2.

    Go Korea Go!
