    MS peter gade ,flying the flag for europe, his sportsmanship, not having many more WC opportunities

    XD robertson/emms, raise profile of badminton higher in britain particularly with Olympics coming in 2012, robertson`s showmanship is also good for the game`s profile (in my view) :)

    I'm his fan!! Hehehe. Yeah, he's always been shadowed by Lin Dan, but I like Lin too! I think he's an excellent player... Hope he'll succeed in the WC.
    Anyway, here's who I want to win:

    MS: Chen Hong/Lin Dan/ Bao Chun Lai
    WS: Zhang Ning!!
    MD: Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun!!!!
    WD: Gao/Huang.. but it doesn't really matter if any other players from China do.
    XD: Chen Qiqiu/Zhao Tingting or Zhang/Gao

    Nevertheless, jia you to all the Chinese players!!!

    I can see that you're from Indonesia but how come you're not rooting for Indonesians who are top favorites to win in the tournament (i.e., Taufik/Candra & Sigit)?...Am just curious hehe :D

    i'm sorry you can't watch that match this time
    but looking forward to the next~~;)
    Xia has bad form recently with the reason he might know himself
    maybe he need more time and systemic training for recovering~

    Agree with you! LCW can hardly win coz his skill is still not as good as LinDan & Taufik. Hope Taufik can win coz I am a big fan of him. but am sure Lin Dan will give him a good fight if they meet at final.

    Men double : My favorite is Sigit & Wijaya, they are veteran !!!

    BTW, do you know usually when (US time) the tournament will be carried out?

    Hey! Am absolutely agree wit you...;)

    Their game style is why I admire them.But LinDan will go all out for the championship as he is very confident to win.

    How nice if I can be in California to experience this tournament!

    Lindan only failed at the olympics, that's all. 2004 he beat Peter to win AE. 2005 he probably let Chen Hong won it (if you've read some of the other threads). The last WC was in 2003, and Lindan is much better now so there is no fair comparison.

    From the Malasian open final and the Asian vs. Europe matches, Lin Dan seemed very much on form. LCW just over-performed lol. And even if he didn't play his hardest against Bjeorn and Bosen, his game was very smooth and fast.
