who will be the Sudirman Cup 2007 runner-up?

[Joyous]

[quote=shyeling;587486]Two days before, i heard a news. It is about Li Yongbo's comment on 07 Sudirman Cup..
He said, M'sia is nothing because we are very weak in the event which involve women player..

Really disappointed to heard this kind of comment because we should all respect our opponent even thier level is lower than us.. More than that is, Li as a chief coach...

LYB ?? Maybe the 'gift of the gab' is not in him, wrong choice of words or psychological ploy as can be seen in many coaches; soccer & basketball alike. The important thing is not to let it affect the players in the entirety of the tournament.

When has LYB been known to respect anybody?
But I would be delighted with such comments because LYB has a habit of giving back-handed compliments. In trying to dampen MAS confidence, he's also highlighting MAS strength.Simple Maths suggest MAS can gift CHN the WS and WD and still win by taking the MS, MD and XD. That is possible and that's why LYB is having nightmares.(He also has to worry about INA) That is also why he needs to send the full entourage, twice the size of the MAS contingent.That's a sign of insecurity. LYB will be the laughing stock if CHN cannot win the SC with the full A team!

Fully agree with your comment.Actually although there are almost 99% China will retain their title but anything is possible.As LYB said, china badminton team still having many enemy and other countries are still able to fight with them unlike the china table tennis team which are fully dominating the world.The china table tennis team had just won all the good medals and silver medals in the world championship recently.They are too strong but china badminton team still have some problem and enemy in other country.I just hope Mas team can fight with all their weapons.Even if they lose ,i hope they lose with full of pride.Good luck to all the country in the coming Sudirman Cup.

haha who voted CHN to be runner-up?? they stand a chance to be runners-up??

 

[jasonmarc]

Lee Yong Dae won't be able for SC.... :S so i think indonesia could end up topping their group... they should face malaysia as the runner-up of their group...

in this point indo and malay has the same... as malaysia has advatage in MD and WS and indo has joker in MS and WD so it could be 3 vs 2 either way

I concur, but only i think INdon has their joker in MS and XD not WD!! cause MAS is weak in XD compared to Indon. As for WD i ll rate it even 50:50

tH vs lcw = 55:45
mk/hs vs tbh/kk = 40 :60
ina wd vs mas wd = 50 : 50
ina ws vs mas ws = 45 : 55
ina xd vs mas xd = 60 : 40 or 55:45 ( if kkk/wpt play)

You're assuming Taufik can beat Chong Wei which I am quite doubtful with Taufik's current form. Anyway, it's a good problem if both player meet one another, at least we know both are in semi final

Lee Yong Dae won't be able for SC.... :S so i think indonesia could end up topping their group... they should face malaysia as the runner-up of their group...

And that 2 criteria should already made the Korean WD special, don't you think so?

 

[LI De Quan]

I predict CHN 1st, MAS 2nd and INA 3rd.

But I want MAS to win by beating CHN 3:2 in the final...haha.......

 

[saugusli]

Hi..hhaa

China will beat Malaysia: 5:0 or 4:1... 3:2 impossible... and

Malaysia beat China is very very very impossible....hhhaaa..You only dream...

INA meet malaysia, so Ina will beat Malaysia easier....hhhaaa

I predict CHN 1st, MAS 2nd and INA 3rd.

But I want MAS to win by beating CHN 3:2 in the final...haha.......

 

[tommy_bun]

Yup..I agree with u

 

[ronk]

I vote for Malaysia.

Not because Malaysia is better, but because they have the perfect draw.

Assume China beats every country, and Malaysia, Korea, Denmark, and Indonesia are at the same level, which means it's simply 50%-50% between any two of Malaysia, Korea, Denmark, and Indonesia, then Malaysia only needs one win to claim the runner up position. So the chances for each are:

Malaysia: 50%
Indonesia: 16%
Korea: 16%
Denmark: 16%

Being grouped with China, Malaysia successfully avoid China in the elimination round which equivalent to the winner position of the other group, which Indonesia, Korea and Denmark have 1/3 chance to get it. That's the simple reason Malaysia's chance equals 3 times of the other teams.

This analysis makes the most sense. MAS has a good chance (90%) of making it into the semifinals and close to a 50-50 chance of winning the semi-final match (depending on opponent). The draw favors MAS as IN, KO, and DE will have to fight it out for a place in the semifinals. The team that tops the group will avoid playing China and has about a 50-50% with MAS (this will depend of which team tops the group). The second ranked team from that group will probably loose to China.
