So if Taiwan won today 3-2 ,they would have qualified ?

Actually this is the group of death. Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia look strong enough to win matches. However only the top 2 in the group can advance to play in the QF. That is why they need to win.

 

 

Thailand defeated Taiwan 3-2.

 

Indonesia defeated Thailand 3-2.

 

Indonesia defeated Taiwan 3-2.

 

Yes whoever win the match today is very important.

 

If Taiwan win the match 3-2 over Indonesia they have a higher chance to qualify.

This is the latest group result for Group A. Therefore confirmed that Indonesia and Thailand already qualified to play in the quarterfinals. Indonesia emerged as the group champion and Thailand is the runner up of the group. Well Taiwan had a chance to qualify to play in the quarter finals. Somehow their MS 2 and 3 world ranking is way too low compared to Indonesia MS 2 and 3 world ranking. Taiwan also made a blunder when they play versus Thailand. They did not put the better player Lu Ching Yao / Yang Po Han to play versus Thailand at that time. They put another weaker MD player Lee Jhe Huei / Yang Po Hsuan and lose.

To be very honest Taiwan or Taipei team is also not that strong either. Their MS 1 Chou Tien Chen world ranking is no 4 but then he is old already plus he is without a coach and only with his Physio when he goes out for tournaments. Taiwan MS 2 and 3 world ranking is also very low and not highly ranked. Chi Yu Jen who is playing as their MS 3 world ranking is no 150. That means he is not a good MS player and it will be very difficult for him to win his MS matches. However credit must be given to him for playing so well and give the Indonesia MS 3 player Shesar world ranking no 19 a tough fight before losing in rubber set.

No matter how in terms of ranking on paper Indonesia players are all higher ranked and of course they hold the edge to win over Taiwan today. However credit must also be given to Taiwan players who played to their level best today and managed to give their higher ranked opponents a tough fight today. Even for MD also Indonesia is very strong because their MD is world rank no 1, 2 and 7. Taiwan sad to say can only depend On Chou Tien Chen their MS 1 and Lee Yang / Wang Chi Lin their MD 1 to win matches. That is why when it comes to team matches like this it will be very difficult to win and proceed to play in the QF because they do not have strong MS 2 and 3. They also do not have strong MD 2.

Only 3 countries have a stronger 2nd singles. Chou Tien-chen has however always been a bit overrated. He's good but struggles against most top singles.

Today another exciting match upcoming for Thomas Cup. It is very interesting and exciting. The match will determine who will be the winner or runner up of the group. It is the China versus India match to determine the winner for today.

 

Somehow predicted that India will win over China today.

 

Somehow believed that all the 3 India MS players should be able to win over China MS players. Even India MD also have  the edge to win over China MD today. A very balanced and exciting lineup today.

    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
