World Team Table Tennis Championships 2018

VIVA GERMANIA! WOHOO! Well done Patrick. It's really amazing to see that when Franziska moves a little bit slower and with a little less power Youngsik has no problem with a single block until he turns it up again.

Very well played by Franziska. Don Parker did a fantastic job giving us good insights into the match. And Adam needs to find a better balance with his rambling humor and commentary.

Congrats and go Germany!

It is delightful to see that the new generation of German team can deliver when it counts. Filus yesterday, Franziska today! At least Dima can sleep calmly today.

Congrats Germany !!!!

Another Great Match! Beautifulll!

Franziska VS XX, maybe? Boll VS ML? Ovtcharov VS FZD? Will that pan out?

Maybe Filus over Ovtcharov for the final?

At first Youngsik was so cautious, and Patrick simply overpowered him. Then it looked like Youngsik turned the tables around, but somehow Patrick found opportunities to apply pressure. Those pivots by such a tall huge player look really impressive.

Time to pump those guys full with drugs until tomorrow

Superb match!
I think Adam is just too exhausted so he really speaks a lot of stupid things now

Germany has made the final and they know they have no realistic chance of winning tomorrow. Whatever team they field is fine. I don't think Steger and Dima will play but I wouldn't be surprised if Steger did but I would be surprised if Dima did.

There was no real table turning. Patrick just didn't get the first attack in and when he did, used less power. At some point, you have to realize that playing the way that got you the lead is the only way to win if the opponent doesn't change, not playing "safer" as the opponent's strength is against "safe play".

If Dima feels no worse I think the same line up tomorrow.

Jorg Rosskopf did not dare to watch the last point lol
Congrats to Germany

I highly doubt that Dima wouldn't want to play a world championship final. He would have to be a cripple to miss that I think

But there is no point playing Xu Xin or Fan Zhendong after playing Jang Woojin like that. But you are right, no one will tell him no if he really wants to play. He has earned that.

Soo is now one of my favorite players... this ITTF commentary session has improved a lot.

 

[zeio]

Even she says Ishilawa has no chance...damn

 

[rainneverever]

Minnie Soo is really good at explaining techniques and tactics

Even she says Ishilawa has no chance...damn

But she also said Hirano had no chance and LSW choked. So she was pretty much saying that Japan has no chance and is basically lucky. It is okay to say that ishikawa has no chance as long as you dont pretend that there are other much better players on Japan.
