I just wasted 4 hours of my life watching Malaysia get thrashed by Japan in the Thomas Cup. The first singles was a breeze when Lee Chong Wei beat Kenichi Tago in straight sets. The first doubles was also a breeze when Koo and Tan beat the Japanese first doubles pair in straight sets. After that, shit went bad… real bad.
Second singles, old warhorse Wong Choong Han lost in straight sets. Wong used to be a really good player and he would perhaps do great job as a third singles. But what the fuck is a 33 year old doing playing second singles? For a country that loves and can only do well in badminton, can we fucking groom our kids to be world class players instead of relying on semi retired players?
Don’t even get me started on the second doubles. That Fakry and his partner (I don’t know his name) were playing like a bunch of cock suckers. I’ve never seen people play so badly in my life, ever.
Hafiz, our third singles… was playing against an obviously very stoned Jap named Shoji Sato. I think I saw Sato clubbing last night. In the game he looked like he was going to pass out after the first game. Hafiz managed to get a 3rd set but Sato totally out classed him. Surprising? Not really.
What I don’t fucking understand is, we had years to prepare for this Thomas Cup. And this is the best we got? A 33 year old, 2 idiots and a washed up former All England champion? I really feel sorry for Lee Chong Wei and Koo and Tan. If this wasn’t a team event, we could very well see Lee Chong Wei winning it and quite possibly see Koo and Tan be serious contenders. But sadly this is a team event and the other players, well, they just suck.
Anyway screw the Thomas Cup. If you guys didn’t notice, Yonex is losing out on a lot of sponsorship deals. Since I like Yonex so much, I have come up with a brand new product Yonex can create so more players will want them as their sponsors. Check it out…
