    it is worrying.. we just have to bank on them to be on the same form as the Asia Cup, in which they were very good.

    keeping my fingers crossed here.

    Don't worry, Chinese will catch up in the last two doubles.

    From the looks of it, if China doesn't take home this Sudirman Cup and the Sudirman Cup for the next 10 years, I'll cut off my head and serve it to you on a silver platter.

    You being sarcastic or sth? Coz I don't have a pretty face. And my brain's about defunct now.

    Life is such an irony. To cry when the team you support wins coz you know they're going to be slaughtered the day after.

    i don't know if they would be slaughtered. surely China will win LS/LD, but Indonesia will win MD. and then there are even chances on the other 2 events. and the result could go either way.

    i wonder who they are going to field.

    my guess is:

    Taufik vs. Chen Hong
    Zhou vs. (doesn't matter)
    Tony/Candra vs. Zhang/Zhang
    Yang/Huang vs. Lomban/??
    Zhang/Gao vs. Bambang/Minarti

    i wonder if China would field Liu Yong instead of Zhang Jun?

    Dun worry, I will get a silver platter that's large enuff to contain my head, together with all the defunct grey and white matter. If I even need to get one in the first place. The Great S'pore Sale is now on. Such an opportunity.

    Pessimism is my game, Kwun. Been like that since the day I was born. It's a calling really... =P

    In soccer, we say "the ball is round" to mean that the outcome of a match could go either way. How dya put it in badminton terms? "The shuttlecock is feathered"?
