I ask again: Who will proceed to the Semi final if DEN wins 3:2?!? EDIT: Live Stream is working again... EDIT 2: Or does DEN have to win 4-1?!? EDIT 3: DEN took the first Game 21-18
A 3-2 DEN win is not enough. They have to win 4-1 to overtake the Koreans for 2nd place With INA's 4-1 win over HK, DEN cannot take top spot with any result. Even though KOR can afford to lose 3-2, they will want to win the tie and secure 1st to avoid meeting CHN in the SF
here is the break down so far: if DEN lose, then KOR will have: 3-2 vs DEN 3-2 vs INA 4-1 vs HKG 10 wins 5 lose INA have: 4-1 DEN 2-3 KOR 4-1 HKG 10 wins 5 lose but we have a 2 way tie and KOR beat INA before, so KOR 1st, INA 2nd. if DEN wins 3-2, then KOR will have: 2-3 vs DEN 3-2 vs INA 4-1 vs HKG total 9 wins 6 lose INA have 10 wins 5 lose DEN have 3-2 vs KOR 1-4 vs INA 3-2 vs HKG 7 wins 8 lose we have a 3 way tie, but INA has more matches won, so INA 1st, KOR 2nd. so no matter what happens, INA and KOR will advance. what matters is who will face CHN and who will face ENG. KOR must win if they want to face ENG instead of CHN in the semi final.
you forget to calculate if Den beat Kor 4:1 then both have 8-7, need games or even points in the equation.
You didn't figure on DEN winning 4-1 in which case they qualify ahead of KOR based on head to head result (GF and GA are equal)
If you want to see an exciting tie, watch luxembourg vs. south africa 2-2 and luxembourg leading 11-10 in rubber set in XD
With that point, INA has officially won the group and avoids CHN. I really hope MAS makes it through as I want to see another of those classic bitter neighbour battles.
now comes the deciding match WD (yet again!!!) this match, as pointed out above, will determine whether KOR or DEN will advance to meet CHN in the SF. ladies and gentlemen, sit tight and enjoy the match. i have to say though, i am not having a lot of confidence on DEN on this one.
