wow, im impressed with kenichi tago. it seems he is growing into next level now. great. Too bad lin dan lost the match. Actually i really want to see LD vs LCW final. and with CY/FHF, JJS/LYD, and KKK/TBH out, MK/HS now has a big chance to win the tittle. it seems now their turn to win AE after all other players above won it. haha! the fate sometimes has its pattern. Btw, i was so shocked too seeing the result of LYD/JJS! it's unbelievable!! In WS, Wang Xin begins to draw my attention. She seems to be the most consistent WS player and continue improving. And tine seems to back on track again now. She's gonna be serious now after being defeated in R2 for so much times by Wang Xin. I really hope that both Tine and Wang Xin will win. And it's gonna be great since it's gonna be tine's time to prove that she can defeat Wang Xin. In XD, i never thought that ZN/ZY would defeat HAG/VM. They are improving so fast too! But i think HH/YY still be able to stop them. But im really nervous about NW/LL. really hope that they can defeat LHJ n LYD.
I tussled with this for a bit and I can't see a way for Tago. Chen Jin Bao Chunlai are two totally different players in style. Chen Jin's style is a lot easier to handle, very "run of the mill" should I say. Bao is all flowing, half smashes and taking the bird early, which can throw you off. And he's a lefty to boot. Bao is in the form of his life and I fully expect him to beat Tago.
Done by design I think. In the QF round, they featured all the other countries with the exception of FHF/CY, on the TV court. In the SF round, they will feature only China as all the others were in the limelight the day before.
I hope you're pulling my leg. When the tournament started, BCL's name wasn't even a footnote. He and CJ were supposed to clear the way for the mighty LD to advance to the final. A funny thing happened along the way. We found LD's preparation, fitness and form wanting, and BCL pounced and seized the leading CHN role, which he fully deserves. With the demise of LD the spotlight shifts to LCW and now the pressure is undeniably on him as he IS EXPECTED to lift the trophy. So the "biggest upset" mantle lies squarely on the shoulders of your famous datuk.
..the way i see this and going into the Semifinals, LCW is now the fave to win the AE MS title.. Now, if BCL loses to Tago, then i'd say that's the biggest upset for this 100th AE..
my friend i asume that u didnt read my post in this thread http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80533&page=9 post 149 and do note the time i posting it was before bcl vs ld match
Its looking good for them to complete their collection of all Major titles...Olympic, WC and AE.....and this AE is a centennial one very special
Kido-Hendra have to collect Asian Games, Thomas Cup, and Sudirman Cup titles too! Vision 1 in Indovision will televise the semifinals and finals in INA...
I just saw LCW qtr final game. Not very convincing. He need to up 20% of his pace if he want to win the next game. Am worried for him.
erm anyone want to suggest cai yun to play soccer for china national football squad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5gV80yVAs&feature=channel 1minte and 22 second
i think he is a bit not smart as he "footballed" his bag as if the bag is a football but end of the day, he still need to go and pick it up... he shld kick the bag and leave it...no point the hassle....
yeah!!! Li Ning stuffs...i do not mind of coz...if he did that in Asian countries, maybe he will not only be booed... crowds might throw him some "souvenirs"
