Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd well, it will be god awefully boring if we all have the same exact opinion, wouldn't it?? it is quite normal for the teams to mix up the doubles player during the Thomas/Uber/Sudirman Cup matches. it is less of them taking the matches serious, but more of a tactical move as most teams direct their training against very specific pairings. and if they switch them around, it will confuse their opponents. and they can only do that in these team matches as there are no restrictions on which pairings they field.
Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd Ha Ha, Jun is rallying from behind, she will probably drop all you guys classes.

Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd i think you're right on Denmark. they are match fixing so they'd lose in their group match. it is an unsportsmanship tactic as they probably figured that China will win their group and Denmark don't want to face China in the semis. China on the other hand, said that they will not match fix and will play their best.

Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd actually, my logic was wrong, Denmark wants to win in their group so they won't have to meet China in the semis. so what on earth are they thinking??
Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd Now, I think they don't want to lose any chance to fight with China. It is good for preparing the world Championships.

Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd i agree, i've only seen Mette play once, heck, she is not one class, but at least two classes below the top LS players.
Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd You are absolutely right. Yuli gave Chinese team some headache before, but never Mette. Yuli has better understanding of badminton than Mette regardless their darn rankings
Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd it is getting boring now that we actually agree. where are the other people? are they sleeping or something??
Re: CHN vs KOR & INA vs DEN match by match upd Pebulutangkis: Terima Kasih (prob the only Malay/Indonesian I can handle) THIS IS SOOO EXCITING!!!! Esp after I'm just fresh from a three-hr phonecall. On match-fixing: Denmark wants to LOSE so they WILL meet China in the semis. Kwun, if you read Mag's thread titled, "Danish not afraid of Indonesia", Mr. Larsen (their chief coach) said he would rather meet the Chinese than the Koreans coz they are bound to lose all their doubles to the latter. Korea wants to LOSE because they are expecting Denmark to BEAT Indonesia. They want to play the Danes coz all their three doubles are stronger and coz they feel less pressure playing agst Europeans (don't bash me for this, go for Kwon Seung Taek coz that's what he said). But they dunno that the Danes are not interested in meeting them... so if I'm not wrong, it'll be a China-Denmark, Indonesia-Korea semifinal. Finals should be bwt China and whoever performs better in the other SF. Damn, both the teams I support too... and I found out what happened to Chung Jae Hee. She was banned from matches for lack of discipline.
