Oh, sure, its like the circumstances are comparable and WCQ playing here would notnhave made a difference. Making comparisons like this is why you lose credibility. If you didn't translate genuine news articles from Asian sources, your contributions here would be very questionable...

You really needed to watch the matches.

3-1 will not do it since Sweden beat Korea 3-0. It has to be 3-0 ans that is very unlikely though I suspect it might require Lin Shidong to beat Truls and either ZQH, XP or LJK to beat a Karlsson. I think China might take the risk of flipping their order so that WCQ gets to play Truls and LSD...

Yeah. And everyone loses.

I have made this exact same point, this XT timing is way too convenient

You are not being practical. Ruibo Wen has beaten (in recent months) Harimoto and Calderano. Is he perfect, no. But he is not struggling like Liang Jingkun. Sure he wont be favored against Felix etc. But sometimes what you really need is someone who can play inspired table tennis when the...

Wen Ruibo and Xhen Yuanyu would have helped for sure. Unfortunately they couldn't beat Xiang Peng and Zhou Qihao.

Not sure what you are saying. If Wang played against Korea, I think they would have won sure. But even if Wang wins 2 against Japan, Sweden, France or Germany, China still very vulnerable. The main problem is the #3 spot. They might move Lin into the #3 and force Wang to win 2 every time...

I dont think yhey can win it all. Even if Wang is good for two wins, France Japan, Sweden and Germany all have teams that can beat them as currently constituted. The coach would need to have one of the other three regain his top level and LSD has shown he still has the same issues even if he...

I don't entirely agree but I see your point.

You called it.

Now they have to beat Sweden 3-0 to top the group. 3-1 gets them second place, 3-2 will give them third place.

Wow, of all the shots to lose the match on lol.... down goes China!

Not really, if it was a more consequential match, China would have played a better team. We can't always base things on the results of what happened.

I would have sworn choosing Dima against France was a mistake but here we are...

They might have no choice other than to keep trying to fix LJK. This ZQH-AJH match is just as bad.

That's probably the end of LJK for the tournament. Regardless, they are stuck with a team that is 2 deep now against the best teams so they are vulnerable.

Yes they have an internal league with heavy corporate sponsorship. In some ways, their depth on the men's side is very similar to Japan.

Surprised that Park is being featured so heavily, but I guess the last match already sealed their fate.

Good. Then you should know that Gewo has quite a few rubbers with orange sponges.
