    Today is a day for surprises:

    XD - first set surprise, third set also surprise - too easy
    WS - definitely a surprise
    MS - winning so easily (supposed to be the most awaited match for whole tournament), surprise and anti-climatic
    MD - so far, first set, what a shock ... shouldn't someone named Bach be composing music or something ... (just joking, ok)

    I know I sound cynical when I say this, but I do think it may have been rigged that Gunawan/Bach got into the finals as well as the losts from LCW and LD. LCW and LD lost wayyyy too easily to Taufik, anyone can see that. As for Gunawan/Bach.... I dunno... Candra/Sigit look like they're playing normally, but the thing is, you can see the number of unforced errors they are making at critical moments of the game...

    Just fishy. Sorry for being too cynical, but I just can't believe my eyes the way the game is being played.

    Hey, if that's the tactic he wants to use, let him do so. Heck if they win because of it, even better!

    not sure if WS is a surprise.
    XD not really, i thought that yesterday was the final, not today.
    MS - yes, a bit too easy.
    MD - i am not sure what my reaction would be if USA won the title. not really joy, not really not joy either. a bit confused right now.

    chandra and sigit have officially warmed up. They seem to play at such ease. Tony and Bach are brilliant as well. Match is building up to its hype. Sigit and Chandra want Bach to keep smashing. They even had an argument last game about targeting...

    But I dont see how they can rig something like that.

    On the Americans' part, they are just playing outta this world.

    I'm wondering....if USA were to win. Would the popularity of baddy rise by much? I honestly believe that if USA win, it would be better for the game. Just like Greece winning the European Cup in football.....it shows anything can happen.

    Yes, and Sukarno was the third man on the grassy knoll. Try a different conspiracy theory.

    Why not. In which way would it not be rigged?

    Ok. XD is VERY SUSPICIOUS. The fact that Robertson/Emms didn't get to play as well as Zhang/Gao's early exit is strange if you ask me, but not unlikely to occur.

    MD... Cai and Fu's early exit is also a mystery. Especailly to CCF and KKK who lost to Candra and sigit so easily in my opinion.
