LOL! Maybe we should create a thread for everyone that loses. In fact, Kwun, why don't you create a "Why did I lose" Forum.
Why stop there? Isn't this the worst WC final lineup ever? 3 all-Chinese finals (including Xie vs. Zhang, which we've seen 10 times in the last two years!), 4 intra-national finals, only 2 countries represented. The only final featuring two different countries was an easily predictable blowout. Ho hum. It is possible, but not easy, to predict something more boring.
AGREED TOTALLY!! if this keep on going i think badminton will definitely out fr Olympic:crying: . The 21 points system does not help other country much but had make chn even more stronger and dominant. Frankly speaking, personally i will definitely NOT spending money to see THESE kind of match!!
U r right! even alven and luluk can't keep up wit fu/cai speed, but i think the main calprit here is the 21 points system itsellf which i think is a lousy system!! Players had no change to catch up if lag far behind. The case happened in malaysia open is RARE (LeeCW vs Lindan). In old good time (15 point system), lagging behind isn't a problem, which happend all the time, where player down by 7/8 - 0 may catch up and win the match latter!! I really miss those excitement and unpredictable occurance
I don't think the new scoring system is that lousy. But I do miss the incredible coming backs, like Lin Dan vs Lee CW in All England 06 (them again )
i think u r looking for excuses for MAL lost. Cai and fu had to play under NSS too. Your statement 'Players had no change to catch up if lag far behind' is very lame. Answer is, don't far behind in the first place. Are you saying the losing team can beat cai/fu if it was play under OSS? what a hogwash. China's success is due to adapting the NSS, why not MAL or INA? The NSS had been employed for sometime now, blaming the lost to the NSS is just whining.
Fully Agree FULLY AGREE with Ants.... what I see & experince, most interesting matches in QF & SF Road to Final always thrilling, because it is dream every Sportsman Yeah.... we all miss this 15 Point System..... I think I am just too bad to play in 21 points system
What are you talking about? Zhang Ning already got a WC gold in 2003. She does not need another one. What she is missing is an All England Gold. That is the only major Gold medal out of her collection. Zhang Ning is now the coach of the chinese woman team. She has also voice her wish to defend her gold medal at the 2008 Olympic in China. (It is a big ? though.) Please do a little research before making such silly comments.
all i was trying to say is the matches aren't fix, regardless i was correct or not on zhang ning prior WC winnings. She can wish all she want but there are younger and better players by 2008. Wishing and capable getting it are 2 different things.
Actually, Gunawan and Wijaya were just beaten by Cai & Fu at Hong Kong Open 2006. Fresh your memory, buddy.
