I agree, Brice Leverdez is a very good player, just too inconsistent, hopefully Peter Gade can help him in that regard.

I am afraid it will not happen. Brice ego is really big. After he beats ouseph and jorgensen, He was asked if Gade helps, and he saids "not at all" (while he clearly helps him during his matchs)...

Gade will help a lot of players, and hels builds good basement for youngster, but Brice probably not this much.

Sorry to hear that. Brice is not doing himself a favour then,having the right attitude is as important as aptitude.

Betul apa yang dikatakan oleh Rexy. Ganda Putri 1, Ganda Putri 2 dan Tunggal ketiga telah menyumbang poin. Tahniah kepada timas Indonesia yang menang 3-2 hari ini.

Tahniah apa itu Tahniah? What does "Tahniah" mean? I am Indonesian and I do not know that phrase. That is Malay not Indonesian language.
It should be "Selamat" not "Tahniah"

THA Uber team and INA Uber team make sure their steps into knockout stage. With 2 points each team, both teams will be top and runner up of Group C and that result will not change even after the third match tomorrow.

Someone talks as though he is the personal coach and protector of the GOAT and that he will never falter. If he does, there is always an excuse. Even before he falters, excuses start pouring in just in case. :D

We have seen how the GOAT has little regard for his coaches because he thinks he is better.

I like to see the underdog prevailing once a while. Just like when the WR1 lost in R32 to a nobody at the Athens Olympics! Otherwise the Fox would boast nobody could beat him with 3 Oly titles and one more coming.

He is the undisputed mind reader of LD and he channels what LD is thinking to all of us in this forum.

You know,you've just more or less vindicated what you've quoted from my post.

Can you imagine a 70% Lin Dan, excuses aside, could still beat an inspired Lucas Claerbout playing above himself - who knows who else he might have scalped the way he played - what it's like if Lin Dan were at 90-95%. Too bad, Lin Dan disappointed you by not screwing up today or else you and your kind would have a field day, and obviously it has little to do with your supporting the underdog, the way you keep reminding us what happened 12 years ago is proof of it.

By the way, who is "your kind"? Let's have a healthy discussion. Everybody loves to support the underdogs even if it is impossible to win against the GOAT with probability of 0.0000001 % Peace
 
Note: Off topic.

But i wanna mention here, Laura Sarosi of Hungary has got free entry into Olympics because of her sportsmanship act @ European championships.

Here is the story.

The Hungarian badminton player, Laura Sárosi showed what fair play truly was, her humane action astonished the world, which now celebrates her as a hero. She had a really important game at the European Championships, she played to get qualified to the Olympics in Rio, as winning at such a Championship would give many points to the victor, more than other competitions. Her opponent was Karin Schnaase in the second round of the Champs, a German competitor, who got into an unexpected situation. Schnaase’s shoes broke during the match, and she did not have spare ones, so she could not continue the match (according to rules, there was no option for her to leave the court and get new shoes somehow). If it were not for the Hungarian player!

Laura Sárosi could have easily gained victory simply by just waiting, but, instead, she acted as a true sportswoman when she lent her own spare shoes to Schnaase, thus, making her able to continue the game, which actually ended with the German’s victory. However, Sárosi is celebrated among sportspeople for her selfless and beautiful act.

Not the first time blabl trying to write Indonesian ending up more like Malaysian. :D

Although I might be able to understand 70-80% of my Malaysian friends, but sometimes they do use Malay words that's either non existent in Indonesian, differently used or old languages for Indonesian. This might also apply vice versa.
 
My most recent recollection of the underdog prevailing was right in Singapore during the Singapore Open this year. I was so delighted to see it happening right before my eyes.

Both CL and the GOAT announced publicly that they wanted to win the title, especially for the GOAT who had tried a few times but did not succeed.

Both failed. I guess the GOAT must be playing to only 50% of his ability because he even lost to a "discarded veteran" from Indonesia who made a triumphant comeback to beat him in the semis and went on to take the SO.

That warrior is Sony Dwi Kuncuro. :)

When LD loses, he plays with only 50% of his ability, or...this and that. Not because his opponent was playing better that day.
Why compete if you don't want to win the tournament?

Why quibble over Lin Dan's spare cash, or, to put it bluntly, crumbs ?! Better to appreciate his kindness and generosity as OneToughBirdie was discernible enough to explicate. Considering the number of times and the kind of players Lin Dan was beaten by the last one two years, some twice, nothing special. Like I said you're not really into supporting the underdog as indrg mistakenly thought you are which elicited his ingenuous question to me about what's "your kind".
