[JC]

everyone praising hafiz... he better deliver...

[lychee]

Wah Thomas Cup 2008 started liao ah? For sometime, I am really out of touch with badminton events as this sport has very little or zero media reports over here. Jerry, thanks a lot for highlighting. :)

Got lah. It's an every 2 years event. Read South Korea earlier purposely dropped a game against Indonesia to grab chance into final with China. True ah? :unsure:

i predict china will win the title. they have to win the title, even if its just for morale sake.

[dcrusader]

korea will win....solid doubles and a credible 2nd single, Lee Hyun-Il....;)
even the penultimate decider player in S S Mo is dependable...unlike Hafiz..
last nite,came from 2-0 down to eliminate the Danes 2-3...i adore their fighting spirit man!
as for Malaysia's chance (did u not see CTF-LWW panting like fish out of water tat day??), let's juz stick to Mahathir's 2020 vision.....3-0 to China :(

ps: Lychee, FYI, Korea fielded a rojak team against our country..not Indo le...commendable strategy
.....due to BWF senseless round-robin loophole!!

[jerrychoo2004]

yah fielded rojak team against us and also England
they are last in the group ranking but still can playoff and now they are gonna meet the indons in the semis
purposely do this to avoid china in the semis

[susucaplembu]

yalar, I thought denmark mungkin boleh menang, but kenneth was not playing, IMHO thats why korea won......

[susucaplembu]

on malaysia vs china........ i personally think the malaysian team have a fighting chance...as in this high level tournament, sometimes weird things happen. :)

lets see here (if tarak lineup change):

chongwei vs lin dan (chongwei must win this - for the crucial point and to boost team morale ...... but he must be in his very very best to beat lin dan)

tanfook/wanwah vs caiyun/haifeng (could go either way, but the old malaysian team may not survive a third set)

choonghann vs chunlai (unless choonghann got some voodoo, chunlai will take this)

kienkiat/boonheong vs zhongbo/zhendong (1 point to malaysia on this .... i know its optimistic, but what the heck)

hafiz vs chen jin (the finale, if hafiz on good form, this will the match to watch ..... should be malaysia winning point .....)

what about you guys, u think malaysia could edge china this time round?

kesian me. no clue at all. i only know soo beng kiang,cheah soon kit and .... you know ....my era. i was such a great fan of soo beng kiang or rather thomas cup back then...
in my malaysia semangat i pray our team will win. malaysia boleh!!!

Yeah I was wrong. Thanks Dcrusader.
I think this throwing matches ploy happened before and it's not sporting at all. Same with you, the Koreans are a team to watch for.

Hard enough to predict between the two pairs tho' - but yet the KKK-CTF pairing that I watched last night WAS TRULY HAPPENING ENUFF to be THE SCRATCH of the match - if Rexy still goes on with the Quarterfinal lineup, who knows, this may be it and CY-FHF have to surely slog HARD to bury their loopholes tho' (defense/speed, power and space) :p

the CTF-LWW pairing has gone beyond its' shelf life...did you all not notice the way CTF nagged :confused:at LWW all throughout the game with the Koreans? that's definitely adverse to team spirit..reminds me of Cheah Soon Kit's bitching of Soo beng Kiang during those days...anyway, this pairing is weak :blink:mentally and cant last the extra mile....caiyun/haifeng has disappeared from the radar for some time now...better watch out..secret training at Qinghai Mountains??;)
sorry to be a wet blanket, but i think our players are juz not mentally strong for this sort of high stake pressure....
China to win 3-1...hope i am wrong though....:sad-2:

[jerrychoo2004]

hope we can beat china this year

[TingMS]

If any one has the luxury of time to watch it today at around 2:00pm, please post the updates....

Kamsia ... kamsia........

[Oddfather]

[Anson F-Clef]

Hmmph! As if Thomas Cup is not enuff - OLYMPICS in Beijing beckoning soon!! Can tutup kedai this thread oredi or not?

[petertok]

i was there for semi finals!!
haha.. it was a great experience.

summore today got free tickets for us students to watch Thomas Cup Final itself.. but then since malaysia is not in... malas la..

[KoChun]

Me watching the finals now, 1st singles. China trailing 2-8 in the 1st set.

I still predict China to win the Thomas Cup.

[KoChun]

China won the 1st singles, 10-21, 21-18, 21-8.

China 1-0 Korea.

[shiruikage]

china definitely will win lor.

[KoChun]

china definitely will win lor.

Hmmm... not so sure leh. The Koreans are fighting hard. Lee Hyun-Il just lost to Bao Chun Lai 26-28 in the first set. If China loses this one, they are gone. The 2nd doubles tak boleh pakai one, 90% lose to Korea.

[JC]

Apa channel lu tengok?

[KoChun]

Apa channel lu tengok?

Astro channel 816.

Bao Chun Lai won 28-26, 21-11. China leading 2-1. I predict China to lose the 2nd doubles.

[KoChun]

China won the 2nd doubles in rubber games.

China menang 3-1. China Thomas Cup champion again. Duh!

[shiruikage]

my prediction is correct. :)

but abit sian lor, coz sillypore no badminton coverage...:(

oni got foolballfoolballfoolballfoolballfoolballfoolballfo olballfoolballfoolballfoolballfoolballfoolballfool ballfoolballfoolballfoolballfoolball

[jerrychoo2004]

i watched the game at channel 1 leh
got show :)
but i am gld china won it this year
with their problems back at home in Sichuan
and more importantly the koreans "unsportmanship"
so i support china this time
2010....malaysia will take it back from them
ok i think mods can close this thread liao
next stop...the olympics

[fishboy]
