    Tan Kim Her should consider coming back to coach MAS team.

    Another match-winning performance by Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae as they beat Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun 25-23, 21-16. The last rally is the defining moment...the KOR defense is simply the best in the world right now! KOR 1 CHN 1.

    The Korean proves that they are really the form pair at the moment, having beaten:
    1. Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan
    2. Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun
    3. Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong
    4. Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah
    ...in the past 2 mths.

    Undoubtably, Korea pair outclassed China pair, tactically and mentally!
    I will predict LHI beat BCL & korea 2nd pair could seal the victory.

    Tan Kim Her was asked to give some encouragement & words to players before the match. He left the team but the whole korea team still respect him.

    Fu/Cai were outplayed tactically by LYD/JJS. The Koreans forced the CHN pair on the back foot for long periods of time, not allowing them to take charge offensively.

    Can we see the differences between KKK/TBH with JJS/LYD, CY/FHF, MK/HS now ? Any pair are able to beat KKK/TBH easily.

    Wake up and open your eyes for those who are still keep hope on KKK/TBH, there will be no chance for them to grab any medals in OG.

    BCL is looking especially girly in that hideous Team CHN shirt with shorter sleeves.

    Tan Kim Her in England

    TKH is now coaching the English Squad for 2008 and 2012 London Olympic Games.
    His annual salary is 50 000 GBP!
    He won't come back to any other teams.
    It's above the level the legendary Park Joobong once received.

    i believe to beat jjs/lyd, ones has to play creative shots, pure power can not do it. Danish MD has those creative quality.

    Similar to Kido/Hendra being outplayed in the 3rd set. Absolutely no chance.

    Right now, the other MD pairs really have work to do to beat the in-form pair...
