Nice. Did Kazakis look nervous? I’m counting on him and Kaci to not get comfortable at all...will lead to a USA repeat.

I didn't think so, they all look pretty focused on both sides.
For what it’s worth, I clicked on their Facebook page and the high light of Tyler kicking in the 2 ball.....low res on a phone....the 4 looked like the 3...and I couldn’t see the 2 ball which was pulling a predator and blending in with the rail and cloth.
But the purple 5 was there for sure :grin:

tyler/svb up 2-1
Thanks, guys. I'm stuck at work and get to check every so often.
Updates are very appreciated.

Yeah and the time between matches is crazy-I literally went to the grocery store after match one and got back before the end of game 1 in the second match.
Well, I missed the team match but am watching match 2. Pretty business like for both teams, but the best chance for a service break came in rack two. SVB, in a tricky spot, found a nice two way cross corner bank shot, and nearly made it, but hit the shot too soft to get the defensive part, which resulted in a Europe runout. Love to see the US employing two way shots, because over the years, Team Europe has used this tactical shot far more than Team USA. This is a sign of good coaching.
In rack 4, SVB was called on to make a super tough shot, and wasn't up to it, and Team Europe ran up to the seven, followed by a superb safety by Feijen, putting great pressure on Styer, who attempted a jump but fouled and Europe ran out to tie the match at 2-2.
Exciting match so far.

In rack five, after a creditable kick safe by SVB, Kaci made an impressive carom in of the eight ball but left Feijen hooked, and Feijen failed to jump it in. Team USA faced an easy run out from there, but a shocking miss on the four ball by Styer gave Team Europe a rack that appeared lost. Europe leads 3-2.
styer does not seem as solid as last year to me. 3-2 EUR
YES! Ditto that for me too sir - very much appreciated!!
Styer breaks wet in the double hill rack, but SVB is jacked up. He, wisely in my opinion, opts for a safety but hits it too soft and Kaci plays a very nice safety after that. Styer makes a nice kick, but leaves a good shot for Team Europe and, shockingly, Feijen misses it by a mile. Team USA should run out from here and they make no mistake about it, closing out the match double hill, 5-4.
Well done! Team USA 2 Team Europe 0
Well done! Team USA 2 Team Europe 0
got a sneakin' suspicion that USA will win this year again. Another sneakin' suspicion: Europe's first point on the board, coming up after these messages.
