I believe that they have a reason behind this starting line-up. Whatever, Malaysia let's unite and support our beloved players tonight.
I don't understand why Mas don't want to put Mohd Arif Latif since Korea obviously not interesting in winning..I really don't know what to say if Arif Latif did not even play a single match..Haiz..
MAS Julia Wong should have won the match in straight sets but she allowed her opponent to come back to take the 2nd game when leading 18-15. This MAS gal was too confident in the 1st game but panicked when her opponent level the 2nd game at 18-all. In many occasions, Julia should have killed the rallies but she chose to play netplay. All credits to Nana...
IF MAS is smart enough, they would have countered with a similar lineup and purposely won only 1 match to feed KOR to INA. MS1: Lee Chong Wei vs Shon Sheung Mo MS2: Mohd Arif Latif vs Hong Ji Hoon -- battle of the youngsters MD1: Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif/Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari vs Jung Jae Sung/Lee Jae Jin MS3: Koo Kien Keat vs Hwang Ji Man MD2: Choong Tan Fook/Tan Boon Heong vs Lee Yong Dae/Hong Ji Hoon
Who bloody knows, and who bloody cares about the Korea team anyway... they want to use that lineup, so be it.... let's see if it truely works on that....
My sentiment too...the lineup is too conservative for the inconsequential matches. Similarly, Fairuz/Zakry are still waiting to get their first match.
Are we putting on too much pressure / expection on our girls ? Imagine if they can produce today's results during the last Uber cup. I believed everyone will be in heaven.
Same reason.....blame it to the format.....the one who lost all their ties in group.....get a easier path....to progress to final...
