Thomas and Uber Cup 2008

I have been following the Thomas and Uber Cup 2008 for the past few days. I guess my eyes would be glued to the TV if I were in Kuching right now, watching every single match played. Though I can't watch on TV, I am still able to get the live score from tournament software. Better than nothing. =D The games have been quite interesting for the past few days. Korea had deliberately lost in the group playoffs(Korea lost to England? Impossible!) just to avoid playing China and Indonesia in the early stage. Though they were not wrong in terms of strategy, they are definitely wrong in terms of sportsmanship. I personally don't agree with their action. They should give their best in every match they play and the goal should be playing the best games. Anyway, they got their wish and they are now in semis. =P I am a little upset that Malaysia is out of the Uber Cup now but credits should be given to them as the girls have given their best. China's women's team were given a run for their money in the quaters when they were against the unseeded Netherland. Xie Xing Fang and Jiang Yan Jiao lost while Lu Lan had a hard time playing against Judith Mulenjediks before wining the first point for China. It seems that the title for the women's singles in the coming Olympics is open. (Yes! =D) Hopefully the Malaysia's boys' team will give their best tomorrow when they play against China. I hope that they will be able to beat China and proof Li Yong Bo wrong. I would love to see Malaysia in the finals. It's been a long time since Malaysia last held the cup. I love Malaysia but I just dislike the way Malaysia is being governed.
