    The Malaysians had better do something. They can't take a statement like that from Eriksen lying down!!:)

    :D Singles can play doubles when they have extra time and energy. Have you seen any double player play singles when they have extra energy? actually they always have extra energy, but never play singles, because they will lose for sure.:D

    hahaha, this is funny. the tactics and judgement and everything else is so different, and with such a competitive environment these days, i don't think anyone can be the best at both singles and doubles anymore.

    I wont be surprised if one of Indonesian pairs arise and beat the danes...it happens many times...over confident can not be too good either.

    CCM/KKK will beat the danes in QF. A repeat match when both pairs met up during Thomas Cup this year where the Malaysian pair defeated the danish pair. Well, age does matter to the dnes and Martin L Hansen is also having injury which I think difficult to match the Malaysian pair.:D

    I think the most dangerous MD pair for Wc2006 could be Korean pair Jung/Lee.:D

    Eriksen is too over... over confident... toooo much over confident.. too much confident usually will end up wif a mess.. he shouldn't says like dat s a shuttler... Malaysian veteran pair is a very good example.. Choong/Lee played confidently n thought that that was a sure-win-game.. but wat they reserved....?? jux ended da game with jux a runner up title.. n even worse.. scolded from rexy mainaky by a long-distance call.. that is one of the thing i dun like in a sportsman's attitude.. too over confident.. i agree wif Han.. "Eriksen better win else he will find his words hard to swallow...." he better wins or else...will be very shamful and vry difficult to answer in front of the media n his fans...another quote by Han "....but meeting Malaysian pair in QF or SF is no fun." not only Malaysian pair..other countries pairs also is no fun as NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.... the competition has not started yet...all da teams should... in malay call.."Berdiri sama tinggi..duduk sama rendah" do any1 can translate dis into english...thx~

    They are just being confident. I don't blame Eriksen for being cocky.

    Eriksen/Lundgaard were the 1st seed in the 2005 Worlds, I'm sure they were also confident to win the trophy last year, but they lost in the quarterfinal to Tony/Howard badly 15-9, 15-10. It's good to be confident, but don't tell others that they don't have a chance or they don't deserve to win. Who are you to judge? :rolleyes:

    I don't really think Eriksen really meant that. It's just part of psychological warfare, hoping that KKK will take the bait and be charged up for the game and make too many mistakes. Eriksen is too experienced to undermine anyone...

    Well...This is just his opinion and we can ignore it..Remember this..Anyone has a chance to win over the other players...This is just see you how to make use of the chance wisely...So..just ignore this comment...And i think the Dane pair shouldn't make this kind of comment no matter how confidence they are...

    one word :WADEVER.Even tho he might be the one of the best players now and ok,he might emerge the champ this time around but, i dun think it was really wise of him to make such a statement.Pride comes before a fall.
