    The one that win the title will have the last laugh, Korea target is Final while Malaysia Target is Semi. Is the different way of approaching the problem, we may see Korean way as "ungentle men" but bottom line is to win. Who doesn't want to avoid mighty China in semi? Only Malaysia chose to go head on, brave but may get us all kill :D

    In the strategy's point of view, i think korean's tactic is somehow smart. There is no doubt that China team having 3 top MS and 1 top MD is a rank higher than other teams. DEN and INA in my opinion are easier to take care of than CHN. No offense to INA's and DEN's fans.

    Somemore, they cannot assure 100% that they can win against MAS in group match to top the Group B. If they failed and became second of the group, they will hav to play INA in QF and DEN in Semi. So in this case, being 3rd is a wise choice.

    Besides, by sending weird team formation, they can indeed demolish their opponent's moral if their players manage to secure a win just like wat happenned in the first MD match against MAS.

    I think there is no point to raise up critics like lack of sportsman ship or cheating... Strategy is simply part of the game. If they can finally go all the way to final, i think they shud be credited for their use of tactic.

    Last but not least, it's not easy to make such decision (to adopt this tactic). They do face a big risk, having to play an extra match and play against two strong teams DEN and INA. But they have made the choice and take the risk, so i see nothing wrong in this matter.

    This is my personal point of view.

    That's not what I meant.

    I just found it funny to see how Korea came up with such a joke on their MD line-up. Wasn't laughing at their strategy on purposely losing it to both Malaysia and England.

    Now, with the sacrifice of KOR...

    Now.. with the surprising sacrifice of Korea, every country's got happy at the next stage:

    - MAS avoiding to face up with INA
    - JPN avoiding to face up with KOR

    - KOR should work one more day when the other #1's get some rest. That's their sacrifcial action for other countries. (don't argue. just move forward!)

    WELL DONE!

    And also in Uber Cup, HK avoiding to meet CHN in earlier stage by their deliberate loss to KOR.

    If you can't win in elimination round how can you win in Semi or Final ? where is the logic ? it is just about to make you or your paper look better, lost in Final rather then lost in Semi.
    Win at all cost ? what cost ? just staying a bit longer in Jakarta this will make the Korean newspaper and media praising their brilliant tactic and achievement to final? only in Korea !
    Well Korea you do lost a lot of fans in the world out side your own cocoon. You will regret this very soon.
    You either will be remembered as a Saint or Devil in the end. If you were Saint once and done a Devil's thing, people will only remember you as Devil for long time.
    Korea, you have stained you bowl of milk. It will remain for long time.

    That's the only good side of this Korean strategy. The players still can try their best.

    1996 TC Korea group match. But I cannot recall if they changed their line up simply to get a favourable result.

    Ever seen Ha Tae Kwon play singles?:p

    He was World Junior Champion in 2002 in Boys' Doubles. He and Han Sang Hoon beat such big names as Tan Bin Shen in the final, Koo Kien Keat/Ong Soon Hock in the semis, and Guo Zhendong in the quarterfinals.

    Park also won 4 of 4 matches in a domestic tournament last week, playing with Hwang Ji Man.

    This won't happen, Brazil always finishes top. So to avoid them you have to finish top too. Hehe, I'm biased Brazil.
