Thomas Cup 2010

Thomas Cup had taken up quite some time off my holiday this sem break.. It was so nice of RTM to have broadcasted the matches live in TV1.. For once, i can follow sports live without astro.. :)

It wasn't a happy ending for Malaysia to have ended up in the third place together with the Japanese team.. Wouldn't be so shameful for Malaysia had not talked so loud before the competition.. It has always been our tradition to boast about winning something big before we actually achieve it.. That's us, Malaysia...

The players aren't entirely to be blamed... Though they should have played better, we must understand the tonnes of load on their shoulder.. It would be terrifying when thousands of supporters put their hopes on us.. But remember, they are not always for us.. They will cheer for us if we win but anytime when we do not perform, they will jeer at us.. Selfish isn't it?

During the semifinal match between Malaysia and China, i can see that Malaysia is heading towards a very big problem.. I only see old faces in our team... We won't have back up shuttlers in the future.. We are too dependent on our Datuk Lee and KKK/TBH... Who are the rest who can give a fight to the Chinese? None..

Come on Malaysia.. You got to forget the old players and focus on younger ones who can fight.. Xia Xuanze who once played against Wong Choong Hann in the world championship is already a coach to the chinese singles player.. And yea.. Wong Choong Hann is still in the court fighting against Chen Jin coached by Xia Xuanze... Pity him old man..

I wonder when will our Datuk stop playing for Malaysia.. 35?? 40??
