Thomas Cup 2008 Dream Team

Its Thomas CUp 2008 Dream Team.. not the 80's and 90's dream team. Except Taufik and Tony/Candra.

 

I really do wish some GIANT(such as YY) to sponsor an exciting friendly matches for World Best Selections vs China Team

 

Yeah.. that will be exciting.. world best vs China Mens and Women's team.

 

how about Asia vs Europe ala MVP Cup style, but men's only??

Asia:
MS1: Lin Dan
MD1: Kido-Setiawan
MS2: Lee Chong Wei
MD2: Kien Keat-Boon Heong
MS3: Taufik Hidayat

Europe
MS1: Peter Gade
MD1: Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen
MS2: Kenneth Jonassen
MD2: Anthony Clark-Robert Blair
MS3: Premyslaw Wacha

nice...

 

there are 2 reasons why MS1 position should be Lin Dan, and not LCW.
- based on current ranking, WR#1 belongs to LD.
- based on mental toughness, LD was much more superior than LCW.

2 times being a leader in CHN's Thomas Cup team, LD played the entire
match, and won all of them! otherwise, LCW lost to PGC in TC 06

 

I doubt if the Europeans can win any point.

 

Even though, recently CHN WS is a bit going down as XXF and ZN got issues with injuries/stamina, and the young ones are still in consistent, but CHN WD is just too much for the rest to even make it a meaningful match.

If before, it's very possible the score going to be 5:0. Even as of today, the outcome mostly will be 4:1.

 

Yes. Change the MS 2 to Kendrick Lee. You need to be politically correct in this forum especially to our mod, Mr. Oldhand

 

dream team should not be govern by political correctness right?

 

Not when THE mod(s) has the last saidThread closed, i.e.

 

Yawn....as always, the same target for this guy here: Singapore & Kendrick Lee

 

Kendrick is Wacha's target, not mine, i'm not in the badminton circuitIn order to be a target, you ought to be as good as KendrickBut not in the same league with SDK or Simon let alone TH at least not consistent at the momentYes he has beaten CJ twice(mentioned many many times in this forum)But the road doesn't end here in reality
I have some accounts in Singapore, ar....so the Republic has to be my interest(nah target is not a good choice of word), no thanks for mentioning it badmaniaNo satays either:crying::crying:
Besides Singapore has got more trees than Hong Kong

 

The ones is bold shouldn't be here...I'll go with Eriksen-Lungard here...they are the better bet....well basically all Danish....I might not even go with Wacha....well although Wacha is arguably 3rd best in Europe...I'd go with Joachim Person

replace Sony with TH
MS 1 : LCW
MS 2 : TH
MS 3 : LHI

 

Here's a Trivia Question

In which year did MAS lost to DEN in the TC semi-final after becoming preliminary champion from the Asian Zone?

• In that particular TC, LCW played an awfully pitiful 1st single and lost to PG
• WCH ruptured his tendonsin the quaterfinal tie with KOR
• Mr yoyo lost to another old dude, KJ
• Kuan lost or rather his nerves to a so-so player in JP

Till this day, Kuan has never recovered from that painful episode and JP has yet to succeed PG and KJ

 

My fault totally wrong thread

 

Are you forgetting 3 really talented singles players from HK by the names of Wang Chen, Zhou Mei and Yippy. Not to forget my dear Jun Jae Yun of course

 

then i replace pi hongyan to Yip Pui Yin.

tine goes to 1st single and Yip Pui Yin 2nd.

 

change the korea pair to play 2nd double better.
