Actually..and purely...and turthly...
It is China Versus China!!!
What a shame?you cannot even find an original Singapore in the team.
Singapore can even win World cup if we call all Brazilian player become Siongaporean. |

Best chance is to win 3 singles matches as very hard to win the doubles match against China
Yes, no doubt we are toast for sure...
My IC is still pink in colour. Where do you think i support, at least hope we give them a hard fight for their medal. Not like Hong Kong..go down fast.
Go Singapore..Make them sweat and breath hard for their medal.,,and not a simple walkover.
Whatever.
All set to watch this Historical Moment at 7.30pm
Majullah Singapura!
: )
Table tennis is a lousy game, me remember LKY make fun of it by saying less ppl like to see table tennis because from far you cannot see the ball but 2 ppl jumping in the court,unlike football.
BTW...do you need fitness for this games table tennis, shooting and archery, but skill is unquestionable, otherwise how come China is so good.(table tennis)

Singapore can win???Did you see China play? If they can win , it is luck? I am not looking down on my country, but am realistic. But at least we got a chance, but slim chance, Let hope China is down in luck and make big mistake, not likely.
Big friend vs Small friendhahaha !
730pm tonight. Finals.
May Singapore win the GOLD !!
Because spore is a developed nation,we will tend to go into cultural,arts and sports.
Thus over the next decade or so,do not be surprised to see more sporting heroes.
Dunno why suddenly every one of my friends and family is so interested in Table Tennis!
I think brother Howe Liang should not be forgotten easily for the glory he silently has brought to the country in the last 5 decades or so...
Imagine if he didn't get the medal...
then there's nil honour to speak about for 5 decades!...
How about devising a royalty-type special honour for him (in $$$ terms, of course)?... 
Don't be surprised if Singapore's Feng Tianwei beats China number 1 woman table tennis player, Zhang Yining in the final
It's a pity brother Tan Howe Liang has just 'lost' the 48-year record...
He should be specially honoured for keeping Singapore proud for 48 long years...
As a 21-year old girl takes over his 'responsibility'... 
elfinchilde,
i do agree with u...
it has been a long 48 years...hope it's the begining of more good years of sports for singapore...
let's aim for the GOLD!!!

haha, anytime s'pore wins something, this will inevitably come up.
but let's put it this way:
we're all immigrants here. just a matter of which generation.
and secondly, those singaporeans who've been here for generations: if your kid told you, "daddy/mummy, i want to be in the olympics." What will you tell him?
"GO AND STUDY, DON'T DREAM NONSENSE!"
And this, is why we need to import foreign talent. They have the hunger, drive and determination we lack. So the shame isn't on the women paddlers: if anyone watched them play, they deserve their finals placing all the way.
The shame is on a country that doesn't dare to dream big, that curtails its children from dreaming differently, but will instead import people who dare to dream.
And snipe at those who achieve a dream.
Meanwhile, can we put aside that tedious cynicism and celebrate it for what it is worth: a medal hardfought and won.
 Go, Table Tennis Team!!! |

Just saw the table tennis win by Spore
I saw the protest by the last Spore player at a crowd memebr who heckles at her.
Even the Korean player who beat Li Jia Wei was sent off with the red card at the last game for hecklling
Thats very very bad sportmanship by the Korean supporter and player.
They have brought shame to their country
LOL... very funny ..
self-deceiving again.. sometimes, learn to accept the true statment..
I admired Miss Quah the swimmer after all ... :)
