Yeah, the MAS mob is having a hangover yesterday :D We, INA fans will sit back, elax, enjoy a sip of wine, and watch today's proceedings with interest too :p

YES....I didn't follow the matches between KOR and DEN...just woke up :D

A very very sweet birthday present for me today as I was elated when I saw the score tournamentsoftware.com: DEN 3 KOR 2 :D

So, my prediction was correct after all!

Now, between MAS and ENG, I would prefer ENG to go through. INA will surely win the MS (1 guaranteed point there), more than 50% chance in MD (Candra/Alvent will be better here as Kido/Hendra have lost to Clark/Blair) and tough matches in both XD and WD (Nova/Butet and Greysia/Vita).

haha yes we could do this, but...that would be cheating. i would rather America breed their own players instead of just simply recruiting players from other countries, but that may be asking too much. maybe we're just better off doing what Singapore is doing. haha yes we obviously have money. btw, the correct word here is "hire" or even "bribe" but not "hijack." that word is used for objects like planes, not people. yes, we could technically spend our money on getting these top notch players to represent the US, but all of our money is being squandered on the stupid war in Iraq, thanks to our !@#$%^&*() president, but we won't get into politics right now XP.

So far , very few American breed.....just borrow or buy them like Soccer with David Beckham....:D or Baseball....
 
Hmm, i'll select them..

The INA pair lost the first set 18-21 :mad:
They better focus and don't lose the remaining set.

do you think chandra/alvent could take this game?
Click to expand...
..it's not a 'horror show' & i'll nominate them(Candra & Alvent) to play in a crucial set(simple because of their experience):p;)..As the final scores show, the 3rd set of that match wasn't even close..Sorry, IMO, Luluk may not be let go, but perhaps a new partner is what he needs..:confused::p;)
gary_seeker said:
remember that candra-sigit when it's coming to important match, many of those match, they lost on their first set then take 2nd and 3rd set. Well Alvent isn't sigit but we'll see
Click to expand...
..true, Alvent is no Sigit, but at least he's pretty stable..couple that with the presence of Candra and who knows...All i know is that Candra is playing with a "younger" player, who also likes to "gebukin shuttle"(smash the shuttle)..:p:D;):cool:

INA needs to win 4-1 then Kor will feel pressure to beat DEN to top the group...
Click to expand...
..yes, i think that's what happened with the younger KOR squad vs. DEN's squad..fortunately for them, they had won their 2 previous ties..;)
Krisna said:
But it is unlikely Candra-Alven will let that happen. These guys were former world #1s... ;)

.you betcha..;):cool:

If DEN wins 3-2, then INA 1st, KOR 2nd
If DEN wins 4-1, then INA 1st, DEN 2nd
If DEN wins 5-0, then INA 1st, DEN 2nd

Poland surprisingly defeated the Nederlands, using its doubles power. So tomorrow, it will be a straight fight between Japan and Poland for Div 2 Group B supremacy. Nederlands will take on Russia to avoid the bottom. Prediction: Japan-Poland-Nederlands-Russia
Click to expand...
It was not a surprise (Poland-Netherlands 3:2) because all Polish pairs were strong favourites. NL could only be sure of the win in WS.
And my prediction is Poland-Japan 3:2. Japan wins WS and MS or WD. PL wins MXD, MD and MS or WD...
Russia - NL probably 3:2?
 
Yes..i notice that too..

The scratch pairing of Han, Sang Hoon & Lee, Hyo Jung is quite good considering they beat the INA pairing of Nova Widianto & Lilyana Natsir and now Jens Eriksen & Kamilla Rytter-Juhl
Click to expand...
..and it seems like the KOR squad and esp. Lee Hyo Jung have found a new XD player in Han Sang Hoon:)...It'll be interesting to see if they're able to partner and play together in future tourneys..:cool:
 
Don't underestimate the Semifinal opponents..

...i think it will be a tricky tie for the INA squad if either ENG or MAS is the runner-up in their group...I think it's safe to say, INA better field its "best" players against their next opponents..:p;)
badMania said:
Thanks mate :D
Let's hope ENG advance to the Semi-Final...hehe....risking the wrath of all MAS supporters here :D
Click to expand...
...hmm, personally, for the sake of BC being full of supporters in the Semifinal round/day, i'd like MAS to advance...soooo...Go Malaysia and Malaysia BOLEH!!!;):D:cool:
