Update Edit 4 pm EST: Europe wins 11-2 with not really much scares. Most wins were 6-3 or better on their side, both US wins were hill-hill.
I know of one kid that should be great for the team next few years from CT that already played at World's and a younger kid from PA that should be the top US junior male player in a few years. Will see how future teams pan out.
Update Edit 12pm EST: US won a set, Manny Perez won his singles match by the score 6-5, the score match score is 9-2 Europe lead.
Manny was down 4-1 then came back to make it 5-5. The other player scratched after making a ball on the hill hill game, but Manny could not get out. His opponent got a long shot on the 6 and missed it, after a safe by each player, Manny got an open shot on the 6, then made the last 2 balls for the win.
US is still on it's last legs in the hole 9-2 going to 11.

US is on it's last legs
or :smile: depending on where you are from I guess LOL
Although with the score, it's tough to even root for Europe since they have run away with the title both in Junior and adult competition. It's like cheering for Jordan to win while playing ball with a middle schooler.
9-1 in Europe's favor now, going to 11 matches.
Currently Europe is up 3-1 in a race to 6 to put them on the hill. Make that 4-1 now.

Mental game should follow as the next step. And play on 9ft tables exclusively,those bar tables wont help you much on 9fters 
Failure is just success in progress for those who really want to make it happen,you just have to work both hard and smart.
