Yes it would be nice for them but expectations are high. If the so called "home" crowd starts booing, it heaps on a ton of pressure and their confidence starts eroding resulting in poor play. Due to the mental nature of the MAS players (save LCW), the crowd must stand behind them for them to succeed.
That's a risk for tomorow... Due to the loss of today, crowd won't cheer their players tomorow I fear
DEN will keep Jorgensen at MS2. He will beat Uncle WCH easily. Age has caught up with WCH who looked every bit an Uncles last night. If KJ's for is good, I'd field him at MS3. Persson is nothing special which gives HH a chance (I don't believe I'm saying this). So: MS1 LCW over PG MD1 Tan/Koo over Boe/Mogensen MS2 JOJ over WCH MD2 JR/LP over anyone but Fuzzy MS3 Flip a coin
The true fans will remain and cheer. The fickle ones and boo birds are more than welcome to remain at home and throw beer cans at the TV
Joj over Wch ? I'm not as sure as you about it.. But perhaps you're right, then Ms3 is the key one, KJ or JP against YoYo or any youngster
Lol so funny imaginating an extreme fan (hat, shirt, flag, paintjob,etc) throwing his shoes in the arena XD
You didn't watch WCH play tonight then. He looked a step behind. Ordinary would have been a compliment
Okay but Playing an Asian and a Euro isn't the same, European way of play is less physical I think, it's an advantage for this grandpa, more he's more experienced and Joj should still prove he's a world class player beating good Asians...
Hahaha. Congrats WCH, you're now a grandpa I see your point. BUT At the very worst, JOJ should be able to outlast a huffing grandpa
Obviously you haven't followed WCH as of late He has lost to Wacha, Zwiebler and Ouseph in the last 7 months.
Misdiagnose? Somehow the actual truth can be so much different then what had been evaluated and reported from coaches. I recall Misbun, Hendrawan, Rexy all thought players are ready and in good form ... and we lost to Japanese before we even tested against the big four(Chinese, Korea, Indonesia, Denmark). Misdiagnose? I think in the future, BAM should ask for second opinion, just like in medical field The only way to salvage the pride is to beat Denmark else there will be big changes again from top to bottom, from coaches to players.
Okay guys you may be right... I overestimated WCH.. Joj will probably win tomorow if you're right. Btw I'm cheering Denmark for this Tcup then I will be happy if they win against the local team
have you seen MB/CM played? they are not that good at all, KKK/TBH still hold a 5-1 H2H against them, I couldnt worry too much about them.
after the group matches, the 4 runners are draw to play the 4 winners. this is try to avoid KOR's dirty trick last time to avoid CHN until the final. this new rule backfired to them as they got CHN twice this year.
its should Be easy for INDONESIA in Thomas Cup to get spot in Final, but its much hard than in Group stage againts india, because we have no Sonny Dwi Kuncoro, :crying: and in the other hand we should say Bye Bye Uber Cup, since its so hard in drawing :crying:
