Way too much to cover. Almost all fields need to be strengthened. Although ws is strong, ms needs to be consistent. Whole lot of wd, MD, XD needs to up their game.
2019 is still really long. Its not to say they will do better or worst. If cant be champions hmmm... Personally i think its still the End of an Era for Denmark & Korea. so its better if Korea can go all the way and win it.
GO HOO/WOON... be brave and a never die underdog beat the Japanese ... set a name for you, make a surprise! ha ha ha
Lin Dan was almost never made officially the face of badminton the way chen long has been done by the BWF.
Thank you! @CLELY India showcased their fighting spirit! China was too strong and overwhelmed India. Many positives for India, doubles has started improving and can only get better. India will put up a good performance at next years Asian Games and Thomas/Uber Cup. Doubles has a lot of work to do but will show more improvement by the 2019 Sudirman Cup. Indian Singles players will also improve. 3-0 was India's worst nightmare but they will learn from this experience. They missed an opportunity of toppling Denmark but showed character in their tie against Indonesia. Feel sad that India and Indonesia are out.
It Court 2 was never broadcasted, i wouldn't know how Chen Long looks let alone associate him with face of Badminton. As far as I know, 'dream finale' kept the sport of Badminton alive. Taufik mentioned it something like Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei have been carrying the sport for about 15 years now.
The "Tak Boleh" Hoo/Woon saves Malaysia from the trouble to play further (in particular Dato Lee can evade another difficult situation), lost tamely 0-2 to the JPN pair. JPN 3 -1 MAS. It's a China vs Japan in the semifinals.
- dupe - Guess the Japanese lineup in the SF will be more or less the same as in the QF, and with the same order of play since no player takes dual roles. Some chance is it may change the WS tho.
Now they can all enjoy a well-deserved holiday at the Gold Coast-- they have all performed up to the selection and state of their squad and can go play with Dato Lee's 2 cute sons now.... I'm sure Lee enjoyed playing in front of his family and having his 2 sons watch him in competition...
And as nice as he is, Yonex has not made him their poster boy like Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei-- yes, he under contract to Li-Ning; but I think Yonex has not made a bid for him because just like you (& me), a lot of people just don't enjoy watching him play (aka low commercial value)...
The ignore button... it's a necessary feature for social media (for separating your friends/ "inner circle" from the public/ "outer circle")-- as long as you DON'T then use it to gauge reality on the ground... It's how youtube, facebook and twitter does "shadow banning" and consistently makes it look like 99% of USA supports Hillary Clinton/ the Democrat Party and hates Donald Trump/ the Republican Party.
I'm not sure why there are many shuttles that were IN are called OUT. if linesman are not certain, think most of the time they should call IN because judging by all, there are more INs than OUTs. But since tomorrow SF is in court 1 , it will be fine.
