Germany women have beaten Scotland in the 3rd placing match. This means that based on existing team rankings, advantage is to Asia to get 4 Uber Cup spots for all the 8 highest ranked Asian teams.
i believe that's the new ARC Saber line , Zhang Ning was using one in a picture in the new arc saber 10 thread. Netherlands makes it 1-1 on the women's side. very emotional match
Oooohh, someone hotlinked.. ..the picture above from Badminton German's website...gotta report to demolidor...
Thomas Haha yes that will be a fine of $one million US please. But it was already known from last time that from that site it was no problem to hotlink (because of no datalimits) .
I can imagine..red all over.. ..if either of the Danish's squads were to win the upcoming Thomas & Uber Cups, there would be a sea of reds (take it CHN wraps & defends both of the TC & UC)..
So the qualifiers from Europe: THOMAS CUP -- Denmark, England, Germany UBER CUP -- Denmark, Netherlands, Germany Attention will now switch to the Asian Qualification Zones this week.
Yeah, DEN-ENG-GER as Europe badminton giants have booked Thomas Cup final tickets, Congratulations! Also 2006 Uber Cup runner-up, Netherlands will accompany Denmark and Germany for Jakarta trip next May.
Demolidor, you went to the finals too? Somehow didn't see you (I don't know how you look like, so it's obvious). If you saw some Chinese youngster, it was me.
28 in pre-sale, for the whole 6 days, not too bad when a single ticket to either semis or final was 15 on the day. But indeed could be cheaper. They even had the nerve to charge for the nationals the week (or 2 weeks) before €27 in total for 3 days , suffice to say I didn't go then. Ran into a friend who was going to play and he agreed it was madness to pay to watch them play haha, did make a final though . And they wonder why there wasn't a big crowd besides the fact there was zero promotion in the city . Another friend only knew about it from a news ticker along the highway during the TUC week.
Apparently said friend became national champion and it's not in MS . Really haven't paid any attention to it . Anyway here's some footage of the TUC: http://player.nos.nl/index.php/media/play/tcmid/tcm:5-352594/category/sport/ Since I don't know what this year's China attire looks like I'd say it's you ... I wonder if it has anything to do with their national flags ... .
