huh? did i hear it correctly? the Chinese commentator says aside from the Chinese, Emms from England is the best WD player?!? what is this guy smoking?
CHN 3 - 2 INA | Last Match: YU Yang/WANG Xiaoli - Liliyana NATSIR/Nitya Krishinda MAHESWARI 21-12, 21-19 INA squad has displayed brave and proud fights in entire matches!!!
and china survive the knock out!!! phew~ this is so close!!! China will have alot of work to do tonight
An excellent match. China is still too strong. Indonesian and Chinese officials congratulate each other for a battle well fought.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the performances of INA players today. CHN was pushed to the limit and I think all INA fans will be proud of what we achieved despite the limitations in MS, WS, and WD. The wins by Owi/Butet and Rian/Angga against the current WR1 and Olympic champions respectively were very priceless!
Interesting QF matches between Indonesia and China today. Indonesia team came with good strategy and high fighting spirit to shock the defending champion. In the end, it's just the more complete team that saved China team journey in this year edition of SC. Congratulation for China team for having passed their test today, and salute to all the Indonesian players for the good fights.
how was that close? the 3 matches CHN won were all 2-0 straight games without a single game point against them out of the 6 games!
I imagine if INA doesn't have to face CHN today, its squad will have bright chance in facing ANY other team, to beat any other squad incl. the KOR & JPN....poses better chance to advance to next stage, even shows up in FINAL! Unfortunately... :-(
Despite of the loss, INA did good. Congratulations for CHN for escaping this, and for INA for brave fight. Job well done.
I think the match is this close because the strategy played by CHN isnt really smart.. especially for putting CC/FHF in MD
