*Sigh* Oops.. aiyah very hard to change this habit. So much for the boasted confidence of beating S.Korea 5-0, now only get 3-2. With Choon Han getting injured at this time, it's hard to not be pessimistic now. Today no Thomas matches, only Uber so Malaysian can be at rest after securing a place in the semifinals yesterday. But it was overall a poor performance, especially from the top doubles pair, Chong Ming/Kean Keat. About Choon Han's injury, I can't comment much since I didn't watch the match, not bradcasted here mah... Hafiz's performance too, I can't comment since I didn't watch, so I can't see if he was lucky or he's in good shape etc. For a full coverage on the match, click here.
They only managed to dangerously scrape through to the semifinals even when facing these fame-less players. They are really the team that never fail to give heart attacks to Malaysian supporters. I will NOT be surprised if they lose to Denmark, because for the Msian team, the impossible always happens; more often the negatives, than the positives. Now without the team captain, everyone will say M'sian team is a goner, but it is usually at this time that the RARE positive-impossibles come true... Aih, what a dilemma!
But I really don't see a big chance toppling China. Oh, I foresee China in the finals because they seem more consistent. Taufik's been losing miracalously lately (lost to Sato Shoji), don't know why. And that's after he said "I'm not impressed with any of the players here..." Haha.. Maybe it's time that he be impressed. But it's also hard to be sure because Indonesian has always been very concerned about Thomas Cup. So, maybe they will only fight their best when meeting the 'tiger' and not the 'sheeps'. And after the unexpected defeat, I'm sure Taufik will be out looking for revenge. This will be the crucial factor of determining if he will turbo his performance to the optimum or over-turbo it to another failure.
Okay, the results for yester day's matches:
First Singles:
Lee Chong Wei vs Lee Hyun Il ~ 21-17, 21-14
First Doubles:
Chan Chong Ming/Koo Kean Keat vs Jung Jae Sun/Hwang Ji Man ~ 18-21, 22-24
Second Singles:
Wong Choon Han vs Park Sung Hwan ~ 10-6, retired due to injury
Second Doubles:
Lee Wan Wah/Choon Tan Fook vs Han Sang Hoon/Lee Yong Dae ~ 21-18, 21-9
Third Singles:
Muhd Hafiz b Hashim vs Jang Young Soo ~ 21-17, 21-10
Seriously, the S.Korea team, with the exception of Lee Hyun Il, are made up of names I've never heard of yet M'sian team suffered such a disgraceful win. Maybe, it's really one of the rare rare times that when M'sian team's win look bleak that a miracle will be conjured. This is the last desparation of a Malaysian supporter trying to reason to herself that Malaysia can once again lift the glorious throphy home after a victory drought long enough to let Malaysia's dominance in this sport soon be forgotten.
