Sudirman Cup 2009: Day 3 : May 12

Does the Philippines have a chance to get promoted to Group 3?

 

Philippines lost yesterday's match, hope is most likely gone. Only group champions fight each other for promotion.

 

Turkey has improved since a new coach (my friend) taking over.

 

Besides DEN-KOR, Group 3A matches are interesting to be followed. Each team (USA, Czech, Bulgaria, and Sweden) currently have same record, 1 won and 1 lost.
Who will be the group winner, and who will be in the last place..?

 

Sigh, in 2 years the Asuncions might be not fit to compete anymore. I hope the younger players can fill their spots, though I'm starting to think the Philippines won't rise up until 2 or 3 Cups from now.

 

Maybe its just a pyshcology game with malaysia

hmm, this tie between thailand and germany looks interesting though.
go germany. take the match to 2-2!
to make it more interesting.

 

so latest complete match.

Philipine 4-1 Luxembourg

 

India clinch a clean sweep against Ukraine 5-0

 

Marc with injury also can up set BP......

BP....BP.....sigh....:crying:

 

I see the Germany pair is trying very hard now.

 

Taipei win over france 4-1, while the one that stretched the most likely will be Ger vs Tha

 

that shows miracles do happen sometimes
btw, thai md pair won the 1st set 21-17.

 

India must surely be promoted from Group 3 to Group 2 with their fine performance against Australia (4-1) and an emphatic 5-0 win against Ukraine.

 

Can't comment too much on poor Boonsak whose form must have continued to drop. Haven't seen him in action lately, but I wonder whether his fitness has suffered.

 

Indonesiakuu...
Smangat Smangaaaat!!!!!

 

China v Japan line up

Just like India in Group 3, Chinese Taipei has sparkled in Group 2 with convincing similar wins of 4-1 against both Germany and France. They must be in contention for a promotion to Group 1.

I'm afraid if Singapore fails again in its next encounters with the Netherlands and Poland, it will be demoted to Group 3. :crying:

 

Danish team will field Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen to fight against Olympic Champ, Young Dae/Hyo Jung.

 

Wow,.....JPN have to honour to play against Chn 1st choice team.......a full forced team...i tot they only need to be full forced when facing INA.....
