may i reserve my vote till the SF day ends? ... I'm kinda divided but still keeping faith BCL to beat LD and LCW move forward to Final ...hmmm.... (^_^)
No offense was intended to you or YHH. He definitely is skilled. Being an inveterate supporter of underdogs, I wish the best to anyone with skill and good sportsmanship. Go YHH!!
No offense taken , I know his chance of winning is slim. It would be interesting to see how many poll winners will actually win their events. As current poll suggsts no WR# 1 will win in all events.
Just a few references (please take with a grain of salt).. ..well, since you're curious, here are a few past references of polls taken before and after the actual events. - From last yr's Beijing Olympics. 0 (zero) percent of the poll predictions came to fruition: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59208 For some reason, we didn't do a poll for the 2007 WC. - These below are from the 2006 WC. Only 1 prediction came out correct. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35806 (MS) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35810 (XD) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35807 (WS) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35809 (WD) http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35808 (MD, the only correct one) So, to combine the 2 events (08 OG & 06 WC), 10 events, the percentage of the polls coming to fruition is only 10%. Will this trend (or curse, a BC curse) continue this yr??...we shall see..
^^Different fella..^^ ..different than the one who participated @ the recent U.S. Open. The one who participated in the recent U.S. Open GP is HSUEH Hsuan Yi. This is Hsieh Yu-Hsing, the one who's participating in the WC:
Both of them will be playing. They actually have the same Chinese last name, but with different English spelling.
Interesting results, I suppose my prediction will be no worse than poll prediction . MS - Heish Yu Hsing(for moral support) MD - CY & FHF( They will be hard to beat if in the same form as playing Sudirman cup) WS - XXF (still believe in her) WD - MJ & WXL( A quite capable darkhorse) XD - ZB & MJ ( just follow the trend)
yes, he's quite talented... don't underestimate this guy though yeah, i would like to see the great battle from both lcw and ld..with the shout 'come on'!!! 'bring it on'!!!iah!
I have a funny feeling.. ..should LinDan & LCW meet each other in the Semis, that match, in and itself **is** the Final..
For the 7 people who voted for BCL, do you really think LYB would allow him past LD, hahahahaha. Think about it.
Don't be so confident just yet. you might wanna know that not everyone is perfect and not everyday is a Sunday
But u have to understand that every Chn vs Chn match is 100% under master Li control.......... regardless its sunday or monday....
