I'll have it running either at work PC or phone if the stream is blocked.

BTW, the tall red head in the back row middle on US side, Tyler, is out of my home room in Ayer, MA. He was the one that beat my son in the finals of the NH state Jr Championship of the 14-18 age group. Actually "tall" seems to be relative, those are some tall kids! He's just about the tallest person at our pool hall, yet is right in line with the rest in the picture LOL.

Hopefully he keeps his break in check, he likes to hit hard but without much control and jumps the cueball off the table quite often.

CallShotCowboy, are you involved in the event or know one of the players? You have been posting about this often.
 
Are the times for these matches posted anywhere? Their website shows the matches and a link to kozoom but kozoom links right back to the x-pats website. Do you need to be signed up any where to watch?

I think it will be closer than the Mosconi Cup finishes though :wink:

I don't know how the European kids play, but I know the US kids and they are capable of running out.

Europeans play strong, they played in Eurotour and Europeans Championships, I'll say that Euros had more big tournament experience, than Americans.

Just trying to drum up some excitement for the future of our sport from the trolls here on the forum which surprisingly seem to be more interested in tattoos and degenerates than where we are headed.

So can't run this on work PC, can't run it on Android phone, yet my iPhone which does not support Flash, runs it LOL.

Got the stream up now, they just racked for first game it looks like.

Can't see how many people are around the table but from the view it's not many, sad for such a great event.
 
all tied 1-1 after 2 matches. 3rd match is about to begin.

Not again...

Here we go again. As with the Mosconi Cup our young people will be playing against a talent pool picked from several nations instead of pitting one nation against the U.S.

I don't see how that makes any difference. It's just an excuse. If anything it's an advantage for us to be all in one country and speak one language.

The problem is that we in the US don't put the resources into an infrastructure for something like this. We're too cheap to support things like pool, let alone youth pool. And we're too individualistic to believe in building organizations for things like this. The only things that get support are mass-appeal popular culture crap. We're certainly not going to put something like this on TV. But it's the 4th of July tomorrow, so that means millions of people will watch hot-dog eating contests on ESPN! :angry:

USA vs Russia, on junior stage, Russians will destroy the Americans.

For those who don't know, it's a race to 11 matches.

USA came back from a devastating deficit (8-3) to leave it at 9-6 for the day.
(They're now 3 games down against the euros.)
Let's hope they can keep their heads in the game and make that push.
Go USA
