To all my fans out there, its time now for Malaysia to be stand up and be counted! Malaysia upset Denmark 3-2 yesterday and will be taking on mighty China.

Malaysia will once again depend heavily and Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong to give Malaysia a good start. Any of this two looses, then we can kiss goodbye to our dream of winning the Thomas Cup after a 18 years wait.

It will be tough, the atmosphere will be good and I will be there. Any of you going? Any of badmintonfreak fans going please do call me up at +60196690168. We can stand together and shout our lungs out for our beloved badminton team.

Win or loose, let’s have fun tomorrow. See you guys there!

What more can i say? Malaysia had a great start when Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong gave Malaysia a 2-0 lead.

After that Malaysia went crashing loosing the next 3 matches. Wong Choong Hann, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Hafiz Hashim went down to Japanese opponents.

Once again, Hafiz Hashim has let Malaysia down. Anyway credits to Japan for playing well and stunned the Malaysians in front of their partisan crowd.

Malaysia is drawn to meet Denmark and i foresee another sad ending for Malaysia in front of their home fans at the quarter finals tie.

From my humble point of view, my home country, Malaysia, will not have a bright chance to carry the cup that they last won in 1992. A semi final appearance by them is considered as an achievement. I was watching the 1992 finals on the TV and trust me i was pumped up every point that Malaysia won.

It was 18 years ago. It took Malaysia 25 years to win the 1992 Thomas cup! Maybe i have to wait another 5 editions before i can see Malaysia carry the cup again?

My pick will be China again this year. China have a strong singles and doubles lineup. I don’t see any other country stopping them this time again. The only country that can give China a run for their money will be Denmark.

Denmark have 2 strong doubles pairing. Not only that, they can bank on Peter Gade, Jan O Jorgensen and also Joachim Persson for the points.

Sadly, Indonesia and South Korea wont have the depth to challenge China. China for the wind. What do you all think?
