    I would not called Korea team had consistency. PSH lost to Peter gade right? And JJs/LYD lost to JR/LP right? If Kenneth did not had any injury, the story will become different. Denmark will win and make thru to SF and not Korea.

    And it will not a suprise if China had a 3-0 win in final tomorrow. They had the players who had the skill to beat Korea. Korea is the team who had play the catch up here.

    i agree.
    i would re-rate the odds as:

    LD - PSH 75:25 if possible in this event, ld would like to quash this itchy nemsis so he could just focus on lcw and Soni for the OG

    CY/FHF - JJS/LYD 60 : 40 this is a testing ground for cy/fhf to show see if all the recent trainin0g are enough to the risng korean MD. cy/fhf will go full throttle to see how much they have or needed beat korea #1 MD. It was still be a close match, 3 sets. Of course, Korea MD want to redeem themself for losing to denmark

    BCL - LHI 55-45 Both are peaking to toward august.

    MD 2 _ MD 2 35:65

    CY/ CJ - SSM 85-15 CJ is better than ssm in every department. No problemo

    BTW, there is no way CJ has a 85 percent advantage over SSM.

    If people are so confident about PSH being able to beat LD, and that LD is likely to lose. Then why is LD ranked where he is and the same goes for PSH?
    How many times has LD risen to the occasion when it's counted? e.g. previous Thomas Cup, WC, AE...
    If LD is not expected to beat PSH then he doesn't deserve to be ranked number 1 in the world.

    P.S. He will teach Park a lesson today.

    May you agree that the crucial point for Korea to have any chance to win over China is they must get one point from first two singles and rely on two doubles to get two points - Korea 2nd double has upper hand and China has better 3rd single, so the first 3 matches will decide who is going to win.

    LD will bounce back strongly after defeat at semi, so Park is difficult to beat him really; LHI is a silent killer and I think he will beat Bao; so the decider will be based on 1st double, which is really a 50-50 match.

    PSH and LCW are on different levels.
    LCW is a much better player and has shown consistency at his best.

    Same goes for MD.

    Before CHN vs. MAS, 99% people give the MDs to MAS for free. However, the outcome is, Fu and Cai deliver the crucial pt even after LD lost MS1. :rolleyes:

    What I meant was many Malaysian here prefer Malaysia over CHina to be in the final, which is why they don't think China will be in the final. I wasn't dreaming, but i understand if you read it the wrong way cos my wording was misleading, but no need to be rude robin7.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I hope everyone pick/predict the champion team based on the team performance and not because they beat your favorite team.
