IMHO, a very slim chance for Team INA to wrest the cup back from CHN after an 8 years absence. It all depends on the result Taufik Hidayat vs Lin Dan. If (and that is a BIG IF) Taufik somehow manages to create an upset by beating the supremely in-form Lin Dan, INA might have a sniff. Yes...Taufik's victory, coupled with both MDs will have to contribute the 3 pts. I cannot see Sony Dwi Kuncoro or Simon Santoso triumphing against Chen Jin. If they do field Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka in the last tie, and IF the tie does last that long, it will be a cracker.
Tomorrow's match will be a barometer for the Asian Games Team Event later at the end of the year, where both teams will also be eyeing the Gold Medal. If Team CHN wins convincingly, they are almost 100% guaranteed of winning the Gold. However, if INA somehow manages to steal 2 pts, then the next half a year will be important in terms of sending the right players to the right tournament to improve their rankings prior to the Asian Games.
INA chances depends a lot if S0ny is playing or not! If sony is playing than 45-55... if not 30-70...
I think its possible for INA to steal 1 or 2 points from Chn........INA players have more fighting spirit compare to MAS players, INA players are more determine and mentality stronger than MAS players. Look, Even Kor Uber Cup team is leading Chn by 2 - 0 in the UC final now...!!
Hayom said in an interview that, if fielded, he wanted to vengeance Bao Chunlai for his lost last year. He is now much improved. I put the chance DHR wins against BC is higher than SS against BC. DHR is more aggressive. Must be very exciting watching DHR playing BC at stand 2-2 (assumption: INA wins both MD's).
Taufik can only win if his form & he's back at his very best,, or else no chance.. odds will be 40-60 lin dan win !
LD wasnt great yesterday, it was LCW awful poor performance that makes LD looks awfully strong, if TH play poorly tomorrow then the score will be similar to yesterday's match, but Im sure TH is a more BIG game player compared to LCW , ill say 65% - 35% LD - TH
lin dan wasn't great last night against lcw? i thought it has been quite a while since he played like that, since og 08? you should watch the match again! as for indonesia against china, it will be quite hard to break the great wall having seen them playing against mas in the semi final. however, i do wish them all the best!
its more than that! have faith in them though this tc 2010 china mens team is really good, well prepared and sacrificed few ss for it, anything is possible in a final! btw, the china ladies lost this afternoon to korea after holding the uber cup for 6 consecutive years!
well what Im trying to say is, the yesterday LD was not at his 100%, LCW performance is so awful(as awful as og08) that LD dont need to be on top of his game to beat him, and yes I did watch teh game, the 2nd game looks like practice game rather than semifinal to me just my 2 cents
Dear Indonesians supporter, my vote goes to your team tomorrow. All the best and give China a good fight.
Or, CHN TC team is still very sad due to losing their UC. Plus thinking that if Korea has made an upset why INA is not gonna make another. AND they know that SOMETIME their TC will end and goes to another country, can never lasts infinitely. Enough reasons for CHN to mentally loose .
i only want their 'fighting spirit' like Korea Women today..win or lost..it's OK.. win the cup is the bonus...
aha! you are a great psycho! only if your statement reaches the ears of the whole china mens team, i think they will be shaken by it!
