Those.. ..18 people who voted for KOR to take the silverware home, probably knew something... Anyway, if the KOR squad does indeed win it, i'd say it's fine. Hey, they've been trying to reach the Final and win it all, so many times before; even resorted in using this strategy in the past. Hmmm, and if they do win this, i think they should give a big THANK YOU to the IBF/BWF for still keeping the current TC & UC system.
My preliminary predictions are: Lin Dan vs. Park Sung Hwan - 60-40 H2H WINNING RATIO - (Dan LIN) 2: 3 (Sung Hwan PARK) EVENT DATE EVENT NAME CATEGORY WINNER GRADE November 25 2007 CHINA OPEN SUPER SERIES MS Sung Hwan PARK S.Series November 4 2007 FRENCH SUPER SERIES 2007 MS Dan LIN S.Series January 21 2007 PROTON MALAYSIA SUPER SERIES MS Sung Hwan PARK S.Series September 24 2006 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2006 MS Dan LIN 7* July 4 2004 Proton-Eon MALAYSIA OPEN 2004 MS Sung Hwan PARK 4* Cai/Fu vs. Jung/Lee - 55-45 H2H WINNING RATIO - (YunCAI - HaifengFU) 4 :1(Yong DaeJUNG - Jae SungJUNG) Printable Version EVENT DATE EVENT NAME CATEGORY WINNER GRADE November 4 2007 FRENCH SUPER SERIES 2007 MD 53854 S.Series October 28 2007 DENMARK SUPER SERIES MD 53854 S.Series Dec 5 2006 ASIA GAMES TEAM FINALS 2006 MD 53854 June 25 2006 CHINESE TAIPEI OPEN 2006 MD 53854 5* January 15 2006 YONEX GERMAN OPEN 2006 MD 60571 3* Bao Chunlai vs. Lee Hyun Il - 60-40 H2H WINNING RATIO - (Chunlai BAO) 6: 3 (Hyun Il LEE) EVENT DATE EVENT NAME CATEGORY WINNER GRADE August 19 2007 16th WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2007 MS Chunlai BAO BWF Events September 24 2006 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2006 MS Chunlai BAO 7* August 27 2006 YONEX KOREA OPEN 2006 MS Chunlai BAO 6* November 13 2005 PICC CHINA OPEN 2005 MS Chunlai BAO 6* July 10 2005 PROTON MALAYSIA OPEN 2005 MS Chunlai BAO 4* July 3 2005 SINGAPORE OPEN 2005 MS Hyun Il LEE 5* March 7 2004 SWISS OPEN 2004 MS Chunlai BAO 3* October 5 2003 YONEX GERMAN OPEN 2003 MS Hyun Il LEE 2* July 22 2001 Malaysia Open 2001 (I) MS Hyun Il LEE 4* Guo/Xie vs. Hwang/Lee - 40-60 H2H WINNING RATIO - (ZhendongGUO - ZhongboXIE) 0 :2(Jae JinHWANG - Ji ManHWANG) EVENT DATE EVENT NAME CATEGORY WINNER GRADE March 2 2008 Yonex German Open 2008 MD 55709 GP Dec 5 2006 ASIA GAMES TEAM FINALS 2006 MD 55709 Chen Jin - Shon Seung Mo 70-30 H2H Both Players didnot meet each other
Seriously Lin Dan will thrash PSH, and CY/FHF should win the MD. BCL has the edge over LHI as well... we'll see mark my words
Talking about the consistency for all the players throughout this whole TC Final, no one else beside the Koreans. It would be a huge surprise if Korean to lost in 0-3
totally agree, China isn't the dominating force for nothing, yet all ppl are just jumping on the Korea bandwagon... It will either be 3-0 or 3-2 just like I said previousily...
A lot of guys said China wouldn't be in the final before the match up with Malaysia........................ Korea's chance to win the cup? None.
in tc/uc, can a team coach elect different MS1, MD1, MS2, etc against each different country? EX: can china elect CJ or BCL as MS1 against korea even tho lin dan was MS1 against MAL?
Many of the member here are from Malaysia so it is understandable why many pick Malaysia over China in the final.
china still had the best chance to win tomorrow. Korea will not use a tactic losing to England if they thought they can beat China in semifinal. Instead they chose Indonesia. Do not use the semifinal matches as the final judgement. Lee Hyun Il play very well , yes. But because Taufik is much slower now and did not had that powerful jumping smash anymore. Side note: Indonesia really need to find one very good Ms and another good MD or else we will had the same dissaipointment again in 2010. Fourth time semifinalist. The story will be different when LHI meet BCL. The most important roles will be at Lin Dan hand. If he win tomorrow, China will win Thomas Cup in 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2. If Lin Dan lost, china still had a chance to win this though with a 3-2. LD - PSH 50:50 CY/FHF - JJS/LYD 50 : 50 BCL - LHI 55-45 MD 2 _ MD 2 45:55 CY/ CJ - SSM 60-40 And of course it all depend of the players mentality tomorrow, who crumbles first will lose.
