Congrats to the singapore team for making it through to get a medal after 48 long years.

Well, watched the match ystd but Singapore's performance wasnt really that good, considering the scary losses at the start. I have to say it'd boiled down to luck and skills. Luck was certainly standing on the side of the lions team as we had come so so so close to deuce? At that kind of situations, it is very very pressurising as whoever gets the next 2 wins. So, when we finally won, its luck, esp. the last ball when the korean player sort of mis-surfed the ball?! And skill because of the ability to handle the pressure. Li jiawei wasnt good in her singles game, so much offensive for nothing. I think the koreans have the defensive capability, but their attacks are quite useless. On the other end, singapore looks a little complacent in their attacks, smacking so hard and with quite a number of times getting the ball out. But we still prevailed in the end.

I have nothing against foreign players, of course I would prefer native singaporeans. But its their misperformance that pisses me off, paying them tt much, providing so much incentives and in the end we get nth?! People say why worry, give them more time lar. But they are world class players, dont tell me they need more time to condition up?! If that's the case, then we might as well get our native singaporeans, who can use the time to condition up to good use too. But since they have finally delivered, most of the credits to 1 player, Feng TW, I have nth to moan about.

Phelps for another 2 more!!
