Hendra, Ahsan favor Germany

mid their busy schedules competing in the BCA Indonesia Open 2014, which has been running since June 17, Indonesia'€™s top men'€™s doubles pair Hendra Setiawan and Mohammad Ahsan still have the time to follow the World Cup in Brazil.

'€œWe can only see the highlights,'€ said Hendra after the match against compatriots Gideon Markus Fernaldi and Markis Kido on Friday.

When asked about their favorite team, both Hendra and Ahsan earmarked Germany. '€œI still believe Germany will win,'€ Ahsan said.

However, Hendra believes host Brazil will win the world'€™s biggest soccer tournament this year.

Hendra and Ahsan are Indonesia'€™s only representatives in the semifinals. They defeated Gideon/Markis 21-13 21-23 21-13 in the quarterfinals. Their next opponents are either Taiwan'€™s Sheng Mu Lee/Chia Hsin Tsai or South Korea'€™s Kim Ki-jung/Kim Sa-rang on Saturday.
