From the line up it can be seen that INA will give victory to THA. Give enough rest time for ASG and GMT as well as provide warm up for fajar/rian seems to be the intention of compiling this line up.
If Indonesia lose. Well, we will have a situation that Indonesia, Japan and Taipei are the second of each group. And if China choose to lose today, well.
Why isn't GMT playing? No offense to Wardani she's playing well but PC was always the favourite to win here. What's the point of giving rest to GMT if they don't top the group and play CHN/KOR next?
after Japan, now is Indonesia’s turn. confirm both teams want to play against Malaysia at knock out stage…
Idk what kind of INA line up from day 1. They know will vs Thai in 3rd round but play GMT for 1st and 2nd round. I think China will rest after see INA and JPN in runner up haha
Axelson not playing today and looks like denmark is resting boje/christiansen and mia too. China fielding their top squad in everything i think, Is LSF considered their first choice?
I don't know why INA should hopes to meet MAS in the knockout round, apart from WS, the other disciplines are relatively balanced, even imho XD is favor to Malaysia.
You guys talking like this Malaysia team is going to be easy for Japan or Indonesia. With the performance I've been seeing from Japan (can't comment on INA) I won't be surprised to see Malaysia going to Semis. Personally, I feel that MAS have a good and almost well-rounded lineup this time (again, can't speak for GJW as she just beat PVS and we can't tell if it is a once off).
It all started with Japan XD (somehow Yuta tried to do too much himself in the 3rd) maybe Yuta should play in MD or give him a better female counterpart...then MS (why field kento when you can field kenta)...then WS (Akane was playing against ASY who has all the answer to Akane shots) ...then MD (Japan MD never really consistent). As for GJW (probably one off)...opponent just need to stretch her and she probably gonna lose at the physical level.
