theews82

Agree wif u. I like lindan sooo much. I love his playing style n skill. Which title if he wan it, no one can challenge him!

[TheGunawan1234]

i like it

[lolnameless]

taufik is getting old,so does gade, but they are respectful and great

[theews82]

I remember this game. Lin Dan not a challenger for taufik that time. Taufik performance was dropping after he became wc and OC tha yr. But Lin Dan is the legend, he is the best player i have ever seen. Just see how many yrs he has dominating the badminton single?

[alrightjudgeme]

the commentators keep aiya-ing for fck?

[ladyboylizard]

taufik very slow now

[23euclid]

in this year. lin dan was very weak :/

but he excel much now :D

[hekang324]

this type of commentating really very unprofessional and annoying oOo

Taufik are much more better than Lin Dan!

[rie27able]

exelent

[TechEdgeSneaker]

The media should aware of the annoying volume level of commentators ruining the match!

[liju03vizag]

I just love this game and i'm really mad of Lin Dan and Peter Gade and finally Taufik Hidayat's trick shots

[kongxiong88]

diam la commentor tu.

[speedstakerguy]

Taufik's emotionless facial expressions FTW!

[naganakal100]

LIN DAN SUCK =D

[Chowmeinaddict]

Lin Dan is now completely lethal at the net, i think if Lin Dan's net play was as good as now before, he might of beaten Taufik

[86rossonero]

@Chowmeinaddict Lin Dan's fan can only say that when Taufik is not in form.

[jennycantik]

poor LD.....

[jennycantik]

LD do the same thing to LCW yesterday...:-(

[qwertyrocku]

i still love taufik he is still the best for me

[jennycantik]

taufik hidayat wowww....

[d3008]

at his best, Taufik was just as good as Lin Dan at his best

[billyleo007]

Taufik's golden time

[tunizar666]

Taufik was the best at that time.. Lin Dan not his match.. Taufik perfomance dropped after he got injured...

[crest4578]

@tunizar666 injury? What happened?

[bOmb821]

@tunizar666 i agreed with u...

[Ariston2701]

basically lin dan's weakness is netting..

[harez93]

wow . taufik's performance was really awesome . even lin dan is struggling .

[salsabiah]

right now lin dan was wake up from sleep. and taufiq hidayat was tired to play badminton and he need to rest.. and need to change new player..

[Skyrich85]

lin dan always the best

[Chowmeinaddict]

Lin Dan is an excellent player, but his performance disappointed me in this match

[zek15]

taufik king of net and drop

[joshua5107]

Indonesia > China Why?

Mixed race always beats pure breed ;]

P.S. Indonesians half indian half asian

[lowdown3007]

uy yaaahh ... lah

[KaeraUehara]

操 lindan!! Go Taufik!

[rulytademez]

Taufik so great, i like his dropshot is very accurate. But sometimes he's bad mood....

[kistajk]

Anyone has a clip of Taufik forfeiting a match after being cheated by the corrupt linesman in Hongkong open 2006?

[MrSulenk]

taufik is the best. lin dan is nothing.

[padeenaja]

That was the past. Taufik can not beat lin dan or lee chong wei now.

[gammaray4evrr]

hmmmm tough call

[RasheedsaeeDPiano]

You can tell Lin dan doesnt feel good. Losing 7-0 already. You can tell there a problem, And the person whos being a racist your probs a fat prick with no life.

[bdmntn07]

Taufik at his absolute best, lin dan doesn't look 100% here but he played ok

Taufik also destroyed LCW in the semi-final 15-3, 15-12

[insandistr]

Biased...hmm...

[manwholiketoask]

lin dan nowadays are totally different from this match..

[AirStylesWindia]

=_= very biased commentating...

They kept complaining about Lin Dan not being on form... When in Reality, Taufik basically limiting Lin Dan's offence game with net playing.

But I gatha agree, Lin's not looking very hot this set...

And why complain when Lin Dan couldn't return Taufik's smash... Taufik is perhaps the one with the biggest smash in singles. To add to that, he usually smash at 3/4 court or half court, of course it won't be easy to save!!!!!

[Jozzilee]

@AirStylesWindia: I personally think the commentator was fair and just. Lin dan was not in his top form. There were not just Taufik's point but a lot of points were given away due to Dan's unforced errors. The commentator also praised Taufik that he was a player with very delicate net play and he used this advantage to create chance for smash. I agree with you that Taufik produced the fastest smash in badminton 305k, but his average smash has never actually surplus Lin Dan's.

[Jozzilee]

@AirStylesWindia: Furthermore, it was understandable that Lin Dan was very nervous because 2005 WCB was the first after he had a bye bye in the first round of the Olympic while Taufik was definitely more confident because he won 2004 Olympics. If you check the later videos, then you will see how Taufik started to degrade while Lin Dan was ever improving.

[mochalucha]

@AirStylesWindia ya

chinese communists hahahaha

[WAR1232]

@AirStylesWindia Physically wise, Lindan is superior to Taufik. He move faster, hit harder etc. However, when Taufik is controlling the match like he did, all Lindan could do is defense and was enable to mount an offense.

Its true Lindan was out of form in this match, hence the pwnage, however a weaker Taufik still manage to beat an improve Lindan in Asian Games 06 again by controlling the net.

[erric87]

@AirStylesWindia chinese comentators are like tat! especially this guy! even now when lin dan lose to chong wei.. they are very unprofesssional. they think their lin dan is god dy, others cannot beat him at all~~

[Chowmeinaddict]

Are some respecful players like Taufik, Gade, Chen Hong etc etc?

[Chowmeinaddict]

OMG, dat so kool, taufik made it look like dat he was goin 2 tap it but it turned out 2 b a smash

[W4NZ1]

badminton needs more players like taufik and hendrawan and less cocky fucks like lin dan and ji xipeng

[Sleepingpillz]

what badminton needs is less pussies like yourself...If you're good then who has the right to tell you to act different.

[W4NZ1]

oh im not talkin on my own behalf, a lot of people think this way. if u were a pro player u would know that. check out some of LD's matches where he doesnt even shake hands after losing cos hes a bitch n u r 2 if ur sticking up for shitbag bad sportsmanship players who are mostly chinese

[Sleepingpillz]

yeah well its not sportsmanship that wins..So stfu and go lose some more you little pussy..

[W4NZ1]

noone said anything bout winning u little bitch. if u dunno how to lose and take it like a man then thats all u are a little bitch who was just put in his place and had a fkn cry. pwned faggot

[Sleepingpillz]

haha i have time now. But i really didnt expect such a childish remark. "ur mum" i thought i was arguing with someone who had enough intelligence to atleast say something back to which i could respond properly. But seriously. "ur mum" That was just too pathetic.

[W4NZ1]

u cant talk u fkn idiot ur the one who started this arguement and keep writing back with your stupid insults maybe u need to wake up to urself

[patrick441]

calm down with the racism.

[ajrules000]

1:53  OMFG Lin Dan owned !!!!!!!! Love it

[Chowmeinaddict]

if you watch lin dan vs peter gade then you will see how lin dan shows his skills or its just prob that taufik is better den peter gade

[SupErBigxGulP]

chao ji dan?!! lol, smelly egg. -.-

[ladyboylizard]

lin dan was scared of taufik.

[remitov]

when did this match take place ?

[gammaray4evrr]

Taufik was fantastic but no matter how good/bad Lin Dan is at the net he is still the world no1

[PeachyFoam]

The Irony of Badminton: Speed and Power are nothing compared to just plain practice, practice, and more practice on key shots and mindgames.

It's not football.

[ruhtraeel]

Badminton is all manipulation. Hitting where the person isn't, and also catching the opponent off guard with a fake/surprise shot.

[remitov]

that is what is exciting in badminton !! Football is the same : you put the ball in the goal where the goalkeeper is not !!

[DTMonkey92]

I hope this isn't a denouncement of football o_o

[dodoldol]

wow...taufik was great.. but now he is losing his performance..

[13jn08]

taufik's the best,lin dan's arrogant

[fh042087]

wow,,,, kinarne ni hidayat si lin dan...

[akrylik]

The statements made reflect back onto you. If you had some intellect, you'd know that China is one of the most corrupt country in the world. So please do not be a hypocrite. Second of all, the Chinese in Indo migrated there to seek better living conditions not offered by China. It's not through any fault of theirs. Ever wonder why most overseas Ch doesn't want to return to mainland? Most people there are losers. Thank you very much.

[kathygrimes]

LOL you have offended China and its people. I'll let China people respond to your unbelivably naive statement. China is an economic power, on the other hand Indo is a 3rd world country. Words came out of a 3rd world citizen such as yourself truely reflect the weakness of a always-trouble making-Indonesia. Indonesians lives depend upon China, hahaha. Just EAT that punk :-)

[akrylik]

I don't live in Indonesia. I live in a Western country so I'm not as close minded as you are. Speak of naive, have you ever seen the world outside? Indonesian lives depend on China? I respectfully disagree. Have you even heard of a thing called the May tragedy? If you had some brains you'd probably know what it is. Eat shit stupid bitch

[Jus1232]

and where did you get all your info from may i ask? i agree kathygrimes comment isnt very good but you shouldnt insult everyone whos chinese or living in china!

[akrylik]

And in that perspective, why are you only making the attack on me?

[fobrabbit]

basically Lin Dan isn't sure of his game - his strong points are his smash and net game, so he needs to attack and bring his opponent to the net. he has good enough footwork to cover repeated attacks in singles.

[aussie4rent]

lin dan strong points is not at the net. he fails miserably at the net against very good players like taufik

[bdmntn07]

lol net play is definitely not lin dan's strong point, its smashing and coverage

[rawrletsgo]

not anymore..this was back then

lin dan has exceptional net play as well now

[bangsatabiz]

1:50-1:55

what did lin dan do?

he let taufik to look him down...lol,

if i were him, I will stand up and try to get the shuttlecock... it's better than just lay down..

[GomensaiTillTheEnd]

he saving energy, its best to lose a set with stamina rather then waste ur stamina and lose

[xEternalx]

like you can also tell.. LIn Dan is making bad errors in this video. FOr example, hitting the net and out often.

[xEternalx]

I disagree. This video is 2005. Lin Dan is now better, more ingenious, and most importantly more experienced. I think at this point, Taufik looks more talented is because he has more experienced and thus better decision of bird placement.. But i don't know.. this is just an theory.

[rawjor]

thats pretty much what makes a player better than another lol, you can say that to describe any game. Oh the winner is more experience and made less error, therefore he won. LOL

Taufik won, period. If I watch a game where Lin dan win against taufik I will say, Lin Dan won, period.

I just hate people making excuses for these players when in reality they know nothing. I'm not trying to say I know something, but hey, im not the one judging.

[xEternalx]

hey Rawjor, apparently you do not really understand what i imply. If you read carefully, you will see that no where did I say Lin dan didn't lose. Rather what I imply is that LIn Dan is now a better player, and if Taufik and Lin Dan were to play again, you wouldn't see a game like this one. hope you get it this time..

[royalphongvan]

Taufik's style is relaxing and put the shuttle where the opponent is afraid of most. Lin's style is just power and speed. Taufik owns :)

[ryuizumi120291]

wa segit ye

[frix088]

great

[fitw]

Taufik is the most talented badminton player ever borned! Lin Dan and Lee chong Wei are the same, they need to train hard, struggle both physically and mentally to become world beater. Taufik is totally a legend. Lin Dan maybe have the most tournament champion but taufik is still the best.

[rawjor]

I agree

[omgirsokool133769]

yea! taufik kicked lin dan's ass in this match!

[aussie4rent]

taufik was tofu at the Olympic 2008

[siekkwangcin]

he got dengue fever few week before. very bad decision of the coach to let him play.

[PingPongM51]

he kinda got owned at the beginning

[bayag01]

both of them are professional, powerful and genius in badminton. But no offense Lin Dan is still #1 in the ranking in the world of badminton I thing taufik is #2 and LeeChong wei Is in #3... china is the one who produce good player in badminton...

But my FAv. player is taufik since I played Badminton last year I thought that i could be taufik hidayat someday i hope... hehehe... be a player of my country so touching....

[vincentlee3434]

Their age are only 2 years in different and it shouldn't affect that much. Most players' performance go downslope once they get married...... Taufik is a very talented player but his peak has gone.

[littlehuman07]

Lin Dan is good and might even win taufik as taufik is getting older and stamina is no good.If both of them are improving, Taufik is sure to win. However, I believe that Taufik's skills are superior and no one can ever get as good as him.Maybe Even Lin Dan cannot reach his standard. Taufik is good in attacking, defense and footstep and a complete badminton genius. Lin Dan is good in attcking and footstep.

[dhanzpucil]

taufik is the best player ever, his backhand smash is so so so pretty awesome!

can any player do those things too as well like taufik?

i doubt it.

he is a legend

[DaBombastic7]

lin dan cannot fight raw power of hidayat. need to train more

[jingyuwen]

taufik sucks

[TheFemaleDurden]

he's not playing his best AT THE MINUTE AS HES NEARING THE END OF HIS CAREER In his hey day he was 10x Lin Dan. tho i still think dan is great

[messitup]

lol what a indonesia joke.

[reyzor1]

taufik is like michael jordan, he sucessfully bring the world of badminton on the rise. Good Job Taufik :)

[franssiahaan]

at that time, Taufik was in his golden age. But now, he might be facing his retirement. Even he still in 10 ten world ranking, his power would decrease. Hopely, he can keep collecting his gold medal olympic as he ever reached at athena 2004

[tonyhawk89]

iam not too convinced that taufik was the most talented player, he seem lazy in movement coz he read the game well and his backhand shot is incredilbly wonderful, but the thing is that he must hav been practicing like hell to become this good, Lindan is no.1 player coz certainly his determination to win and non-stop practicing make his footwork perfect is the greatest weapon to overcome many so-called talented players

they 2 r great but i don't think Taufik so much talented compared to Lindan

[joeputranto]

You have a wrong statement about Taufik. He is a good player and he got a gold medal in Olympic games (Sydney 2000) and All England. So???

[ilovedigitalph33r]

So what if taufik likes to use his backhand? he is still is a great player

[eccchung]

Taufik is the most talented player besides Rudy Hartono. He has the natural reflexes, play and read the game well. If his fitness permits, he will still reign the badminton areana.

[siddarty]

damn....other than zhao jian hua, taufik is probably one of the best to controle the court in Badminton

[Anonymous19BL]

... cause taufik had won 2 points?....

[bat972rtiuo]

y from 1 love become to 2 love?

[1802memo]

what's with the commentator??? so biased!! dang!! taufik way to go!!!

[KakashiHatake5932]

u2b8 you is monkey.......taufik hidayat is the best from indo.

[IIIIlllIIl]

lol, sore loser that is.

[conansters20]

I just hope that no one would be speaking while they are playing -_-...

[sbwmfptz]

wow badminton players must have really good eyesight and reaction, because to be honest i think i have a good reaction but whenever i play my friend who has a good smash i can never get to it, so badminton plaers are really something especially these 2

[TheFemaleDurden]

the sport is under rated, it doesnt get enough recognition

[exxssmate]

then why s it on the olympic

and your bloody cricket isnt

MATE???

your sayin this cuz UK sucks at it

[TheFemaleDurden]

WHA??? i said BADMINTON was UNDERrated, ie people dont appreiciate it enough cuz its great. I HATE cricket, think its one of the worst sports in the world. i also hate the UK, i consider myself irish not ucking british and i hope those bigheaded fucktards fail at beijing.

[exxssmate]

oops sorry then

[HnTDino1337]

!! first time i've seen lin dan getting owned... and it seems taufik isn't even trying

[shchong77]

林丹打教練餘波...

教練組以及乒羽中心寵壞了林丹，他早就應該被開除出國家隊。他們­關心的只是林丹能不能贏得金牌，如果派這樣的運動員參加國際賽，­這是中國羽球的恥辱.

[nissanbling]

have you noticed that taufik, rarely smashes?

[imustbeunknown]

??? you have friends? i dont think so ....

[dragonix]

wow 9 straight points, taufik sic

[madeinph]

[TaufikHidayatD]

He is a greatest badminton player ever!!

[BOLEH12]

[standi03]

i'm glad i'm indonesian....

[GavinGoffsh42]

Taufik was owning it up at the start of the match.

[ozboy009]

i'm proud to say i'm indonesian. lol

[LostAtSe]

i agree, wish i was indonesian, taufik forever!!

[wowzer333]

cant beleive proton bwf. taufik lost to that indian guy.

[sbowesuk]

If you'd like to watch the 2007 World Badminton Championships Men's Singles Final, the match is on my profile! Features Indonesia's Sony Dwi Kuncoro taking on the world no.1 Lin Dan of China :)

[petmarton]

Lin Dan rules and is only the second player in history to win back-to-back world titles! ccyap1688, your prediction was wrong har har!

[pkallpower808]

taufik n lindan..both icap pellel..yeahh...*

[ccyap1688]

this year's world championship 2007 taufix will win......2nd lee chong wei

[Eskn69]

lin dan? nah lindan will be top 3.. i think 1st or 2nd

[kungfuneo]

can't wait for this year's world championship. There will be a clash btw taufik n lin dan at quarter final.

[princeoftrance]

Shaf he was 22 in this game and lin was only 25. Taufik always outclasses Lin theres no excuses

[kacebiatch]

taufik is gay! look at his face, he's so gay! eew!

[marciamanutd]

your mom is gay

look at her face yucky!!

[DaDooM88]

taufik did not play far over 2 hours the day before against peter gade... i think lin dan suffered in the final from his marathon-semi-final.

Btw: i love taufiks style of playing, his technique is the almost perfect

[KalimNy]

anyway tuafik is thhe best..^^V
