    I disagree......ZN, XXF, GL not easy to replace.........they have 100 top 15 players, but ZN, GL, XXF have consistently got to final after final after final......they don't come by all the time They were always 90% chance victory......these other now just 50% and that is a big big difference.

    Interesting your view on THA. I look forward to that.


    Match points for KOR 20-16, HJM serves into net.........then they win next point

    Mia coming back? I dont think so. INdonesia must produce or find another Mia, Maria, and Susi...

    PBSI should hire Susi as a motivator or consultant. I know Susi also busy with her business, but I am sure she will not reject if PBSI ask her to assist Indonesian players to achieve higher level. She has proven in UC 2008, and OG (Maria Kristin success because of her as well).

    Maria's match is on TV now.
    The commentators kept on saying about how expressionless and calm Maria was. LOL.
    And when she pumped her fist, the commentator was like, that's the first emotion that she's shown the whole match so far.

    So for the first time in OG history, Asia will take every medal in the Badminton competition, and KOR continue their history of winning medal in every MD OG competition.


    ZN up next, can she create history and leave a major tournament the way she deserves.......

    Well, I mean that level players from other countries are increasing. Two or three years we always see Chinese Final in WD, and WS, but we probably will not see that too often in few years later because many players from other countries have same level as Chinese players.

    ZN vs XXF
    brain says XXF, heart says ZN. The fighting spirit of ZN in this OG earns my respect sooooooooo much.
