    He just got that kind of magic power to attract people's attention, positive or not.



    it's just amazed me that the one that sealed off KOR's fate is the pair who many of us considered a solid loss.

    Haha, I think the two original big boys will be honoured to let Xie join their exclusive club. How many TCs between them? Awesome. [THUMBS UP] :)

    I better start planning now for 2 years in KL. I so want to go after watching the action on line. Must be such an electric atmosphere LIVE! Also jealous of all the BC members who gathered in Jakarta :D:D:D

    That's LYB. Yap is there, he let the respective coach give advice, he dont butt in. stimes Yap sits with Rexy but Rexy does the advising. Other country coach also, MD coach will advise MD, MS coach advise MS.

    yeah... the uncles will not want to miss their last Olympic... and Koo/Tan has better ranking now and looks like fans still prefer them to Fuzzy... it will be a tough decision for Rexy and YKH to make....

    I think LYB acts more as a motivator in these instances. He can have such a profound influence on his players (and opponents) by his mere presence

    i know it is not fans' preference... for sure coaches have final say about this... just that Koo/Tan's fans will open another thread to "discuss" about this if Fuzzy really gets selected for Olympic this year... :) let's wait for the final decision from the coaches... :)

    Congrats to China for winning thomas Cup again.

    My prediction in 2010 TC semifinals will be: Indonesia, China, malaysia and Korea. (Denmark out of contender if PG and KJ retired after Olympic)

    For Uber Cup, my semifinal prediction: China.... the rest three will be up for grab. This will be interesting to see. Indonesia girls had a chance to be in semifinal again cause lots of top players maybe will retired after Olympic .
