as the thread title says it all. who will win the sudirman cup this year? to me , its going to be china and of course malaysia.. dream on
Title-holder China is the strongest favourite, Indonesia as runner-up in last two edition becomes another candidate together with South Korea.
I think CHN wud be too strong for the others, based on their strength in WS and WD plus homeground support. They just need 1 more point from either LD, FHF/CY or ZB/MJ. But expect close fights from KOREA and INDONESIA. What? MAS ? I reserve my comments.:crying: (mixed emotions)
Enjoy my prediction on the top five country. no offence!

This thread's look unique lor. Btw, China's still strong enough to be defeated as a team. As for Malaysia, Sudirman should be a good yardstick to identify a back-up player for LCW. daren, Chun Seang, Arif, and Wei Feng will fight for the place in SUdirman Cup. I'll follow their results closely.
the TEAM GROUPING is out... (SOURCE: BWF website) GROUP 1: CHINA INDONESIA ENGLAND KOREA DENMARK MALAYSIA HONG KONG JAPAN GROUP 2: THAILAND SINGAPORE POLAND CHINESE TAIPEI GERMANY NETHELANDS RUSSIA FRANCE GROUP 3: SWEDEN INDIA SCOTLAND USA CZECH REPUBLIC UKRAINE AUSTRALIA BULGARIA GROUP 4: SWITZERLAND LITHUANIA SRI LANKA SOUTH AFRICA LUVEMBOURG PORTUGAL ICELAND TURKEY MONGOLIA PHILIPHINES
i should be realistic.. China is still the strongest, especially in WS & WD.. but i hope any country can break China domination..
In my opinion, I would rank Korea equally strong as IND, as follow: Out of 5 DEN KOR MAS IND CHN MS 4 3 5 4 5 MD 3 4 4 4 4 WS 4 3 2 2 5 WD 2 4 2 3 5 XD 3 4 2 5 4 --------------------------- 16 18 15 18 23
China will win . These are the points they will get facing top teams: China - Denmark : 3 points from MS, XD and WD. ( 2 points are fifty2 from WS and MD) China - Indonesia: 3 points from MS, WS and WD. ( 1 points fifty2 from XD. MD goes to Indonesia) China-Korea : 3 points from WS,MS and WD. ( Md had bigger chance and fifty2 from XD) China-Malaysia : 3 points from WS,WD and XD. (MS had bigger chance and MD goes to Malaysia) Maybe predicting who will become runner up will be more difficult. Note: Though I predict, MD will be the weaker players in China team, but we all know how good CY/FHF when they are in the zone. And they will not even play MD if China win 3-0 from XD,MS and WS.
China is definitely not as strong as in 2007... WS is much weaker now. unless XXF is suddenly back in form, none of the WS has a big advantage over WMC or Maria Kristin, not to mention Tina Rasmussen.
