Malaysia always have the high team spirits in any team events except for 2012 Thomas Cup when they lost LCW in the team as LCW got himself injury before facing mighty China team... hope this year they can keep on high spirit just like 2 years ago 2014 Thomas Cup...
It's ridiculous that the UC China vs Chinese Taipei is broadcasted live meanwhile the much more interesting match TC Denmark vs Japan is not having any coverage tonight. :S
I'm wondering who determine which match to be broadcasted live? BWF or the host (in this case, China)?
I think Iskandar has done another fantastic job for MAS TC team! He practically 'murdered' TPE MS2 who did so well against DEN just yesterday. And this must have inspired the veteran MD pair to do their best and secure a win for MAS!
hmmm i would rather Denmark win later today ... less scarier of the two for malaysia.. or not.. But Denmark looks like Japan in terms of strength from 2 yrs ago... scary also
In this case I think it is both China and BWF. Allow me to explain a bit. I just hope that it won't offend anyone. This tournament is held In China. Definitely the live broadcast of the match must be given to China so that the citizens there can watch it live. Plus the tournament and arrangement of the match schedule must also suite the China people so they can keep and have more spectators at the bench of the stadium. Just my two cents opinion and hope it doesn't cause any disagreement or argument later.
He (iskandar) brilliant in this tournament currently. KKK/TBH is a good player, they just need to add a bit more aggressiveness in the game and avoid silly mistake to give opponent easy points.
Yes, they should have coverage for all the quarter final events or at least a live stream. I am frustrated also such a high level events has no live for other matches.
common .. lets analyse the future... I wonder if the Korean Thomas can do a Korean Uber team and beat China tonight.. they can do it.. if they manage to steal one singles (tian houwei?). Their doubles should be superior to both chinese pairs....
Yes BWF should solve this problem by having matches stream live for all the 4 different courts. This is the best way to solve the problem.
If INA will have to China tomorrow, the line up from me would be: MS1 : Jonatan Christie. Tommy lost his last 7 match against Chen Long in straight games. JC gave quite a good fight to CL the last time they met. MD1 : Ahsan/Setiawan. They still have chance against Fu/Zhang MS2 : Anthony Ginting. MD2 : Angga/Ricky MS3 : Ihsan
Wow, without sleep and you are still awake until now. Must be power of badminton. Since you couldn't sleep, you should use your mind to give force to the KOR team rather than just thinking.
It makes sense but for the big tournament like this, BWF as the stakeholder should be wiser to decide which matches to be broadcasted in order to appeal many people from all over the world to show that badminton is interesting. If I were the one who does not know or know little about badminton, watching uninteresting matches (or one sided matches) will definitely hurt my interest on the sport itself. Just my 2 cents.
