World Cup 2024

[Manto76]

I don't know if it's the lighting in the hall, or if it's the particular shade of blue they've chosen, but the black table against the blue floor certainly isn't easy on the eye.

Perhaps it's better live, but over a screen it's not a good combo.

Togami speedran those last two games against Assar. Seems to be getting better and better results recently. Gotta be the Dignics right?

Why’s not Wang Hao coaching Wang CHUQIN now?

 

[turbozed]

Great match between Hayata and SYB. Looked like Hayata had hit a wall and was going to drop the last two games but she got it done somehow.

Hina Hayata is an escape artist. I don't know how she got out of that one. Very well played match from SYB, but Hayata really showed some mental toughness at the end.

Wonder if Calderano can slay another #1

It’s fine to me if Hugo wins this world cup.

 

[Choosikick]

Well Well Well 2-1 Calderano leads

 

[Choosikick]

Hugo is doubly difficult to play due to such powerful support from the audience of his opponent. Even if someone clapped during the moments of Hugo’s victory, there was deathly silence.
It would be interesting to see Chuqin if the same game took place in Brazil.

I noticed that WYD had zero crowd support in her match against Miwa because all the fan girls were busy cheering on Lin Gaoyuan.

Probably wouldn't have made a difference in the result, but the fans really needed to take turns paying attention to the WYD match and cheering for her, because she had 0 homefield advantage.

 

[Choosikick]

Simply incredible shots from Hugo with both hands, just like in tennis!

 

[turbozed]

Man these Chinese fans really just care only about their players huh. Most badass two handed backhand by Hugo and dead silence. Roar of approval when he misses a serve though. I get that they want to support their guy but damn ....

I think that this support greatly influences the result, because real people play.

Interesting to see Whenever Wang Chuqin is in trouble or has game point he always serves hook serve

 

[shmek]

It's been said a million times, but the fact that no one calls out WCQ's serves is utterly disappointing again. Some of these lifts of his are not even tosses. That's obnoxious.

that why it is called fanboy/fangirl
crazy fans, who follow the player - internationally.

Most of what the rest of the world know, they will acknowledge a good play and still clap hands for the "opponent".
That won't come from these fan boys/girls

It was a great match, clearly through Koreans are rising to the challenge of beating Japan and taking it seriously. Which again is why you can't just beat China, you have to beat *everyone*.

Now Hina and Miu both get opponents that on paper they should be able to challenge, Miu definitely should have a good chance against the aging Chen Meng while Hayata gets to see how much progress she had made vs Wang (gap is likely still sizeable). Fun matches ahead tomorrow.

Most of these fans are called tzm (WCQ's mom) in china. They do not know tt and do not play tt.

Nobody paid attention that Diaz beat Sofia 4:0? Will she be able to beat Miwa tomorrow?

They are both overrated players so it doesn't matter.

On a more serious note, no, she shouldn't be able to beat Miwa tomorrow.
