    That's exactly why they call these types of games "Upsets".

    ...and why there is home field advantage (jugah kampung, right?).

    As an American who grew up in Indonesia and has loved the game ever since, I would love to have the Americans win and it would be good for US Badminton, but unfortunately, I don't think it will do much to popularize the sport unless it's followed by other wins, especially outside the US.

    Anyway, a conspiracy of that size costs a lot of money and requires a lot of chatty people to keep their mouths closed. Let's just enjoy the games as they happen. Indo 10 : US 7, US first server

    It's allright ,lol.The upsets may have been helped by drifty conditions inside the arena.Anyway let's not take ANYTHING away from the Americans and others who won.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Indonesians looking really good now.It's going to be uphill for the US pair from now.

    Yup, that's it for GD sports. But man, I must say I've been pleasantly surprised by the American's play. Howard's actually quite fast and has great endurance/stamina for a guy who has a body built for weightlifting. Plus he has quite a smash, with one reaching 303km/h I believe.

    Go USA, popularize our beloved sport in this land!!
