I like the way you think and frankly speaking, I prefer Malaysia vs China in semi-finals rather than they play against Korea in quarter-finals.
Indeed the CHN advantage has been lessened in recent years relative to Japan, but Japan are playing at a significant disadvantage in every single match as well as Korea to China in the four non-MD ties. Upsets occur, but there is a reason they are called upsets.
Based from the draw, I would love to see a China vs Malaysia finals. Imagine the hype that the MS match will get.
Cross my fingers, hope Malaysia can survive the quarter-finals battle and if they win tonight, again hope they can survive another great battle against Japan/Denmark, I am afraid if they advance to the final against China they will have no energy left to fight.
