the most predicted and anticipated matches will start in a few hours. in case you have been living in a well sealed cave, that's the Beijing 2008 Men's Single final between Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei. over the course of the Olympics, BC has been transformed into a "lively" discussion forum. but unfortunately, there are also negatives popping up amongst the discussion. being a forum with memberships from almost every badminton nation large and small, it is understandable to have differences in opinion. however, it is absolutely inexcusable for these difference in opinion to turn into endless argument and virtual fist fights. i am glad we are not gathered in one room otherwise i am sure i will be spending the next week wiping blood off the floor. so anyway, in anticipation of the final battle, BC will enforce the follow rules of discussions: be a good winner rejoice at your own winning, but don't overly boast it. do not rejoice on other's loss be a good loser praise other people's success admit defeat like a lady/gentleman respect others no name calling no tit-for-tat insult no foul language discuss in our common language: English remember that others will judge not only you, but also your country, culture on how you behave. if you behave poorly, it will ultimate hurt the image of your own country. in the short week we have a handful of ban and moderators have deleted posts in the number that exceed total posts count in many other small forums. we will make sure that moderation will be super tight during and after the final. so this evening, enjoy, have fun following the matches with your fellow badminton lover. and may the better player win.
Never an easy game between them...#1 play #2 in the biggest game on the biggest stage with billions watching, these 2 have played each other so many times that it is only fitting for them to play in the final...the margin of skill between them are so close esp in 21-point system...who has the better nerve will have the edge...both have been playing very well so far...and both knows the other can beat them...if I am betting, I beat on LD with 51% to 49% for LCW...gonna be great game, and whoever win should have no excuses being an OLY game (non partisan referee and linepersons, I hope), not BWF organized...may the best player wins.
OK crunch time. Lets have a list of the commitments we have here... 1. Pemuda goes bald if LCW wins 2. Jimbo goes bald if LCW loses (not confirmed by jimbo) 3. Bananakid dissapears if LCW wins anyone else? anyone I missed?
Alan Y will eat his hat if China did not win over 3 golds......I guess it happened already....he was so confident that no one can beat chinese players in china......
Match of the century, just a few hours away. Even I'm getting nervous lol. I just want Chong Wei to win so badly.
To our Chong Wei...play all out, for yourself, for the nation.... "有勇气就有奇迹"....fight bravely and miracle happens
