These are some nervous nellies!!
I know the Canadian organization responsible for selecting our players ran down a list of candidates. The finally ended up with Tom and Ben. The extremely short notice made it very difficult to fill the spots from what I hear. I don't know Tom, and Ben has always struck me as more of a barbox specialist. Regardless it's a fantastic opportunity for them. I wish them the best, and hope they enjoy themselves.
Czech checkmated a not so hungry Hungary team 7-4. Match was comedy of errors. More misses than a Mrs pageant

Austria on the ropes.
Yeah, seriously. Both conceptualization and execution skills were lacking in this one, and they barely looked like professionals.
Austria is out in a very well played match by Slovakia. They got a roll or two early, but luck had far less to do with this result than the commentators seemed to want us to believe during the match. Thankfully, the commentators were far more generous in their post-match comments. Slovakia, in particular, played a fine defensive match, creating several extra chances.
Slovakia will now play the Czech Republic, a match that would once not have been possible at the World Cup of Pool, as they were both part of the same country, namely Czechoslovakia. One of them will reach the quarterfinals.

Hungarian Vilmos Foldes is quite a well known pro with some credentials. He reached the semis of the WPA World 9-ball one year, perhaps fifteen years ago.
Tom is from Edmunston New Brunswick, which borders a remote tip of Maine and a kinda remote part of Quebec. He has mostly played in regional tours in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Eastern Quebec. And he's travelled down occasionally for Joss NE tour, Turning Stone or to Canadian Championships. He almost got Alex, losing 13 to 15 in Canadian Championships a couple years ago
Had Foldes been living in the US at one time? He was in a lot of tournaments in the US for quite few years.
Though he is not as strong as Sajich, Ivan (Meng) Li has had some good success recently in regional and national 9-Ball and 10-Ball events in Australia, winning some titles.
He
He is in Las Vegas now, getting league games in via LMS. He's been in Vegas or California for at least the last five years.
A match neither team deserved to win.
