Shane and Earl up at World Cup of Pool

[SouthernDraw]

Hmmm, I watched the russia match and shane was leaving him terrible and he bailed out the team with great shots. His break was no good though and cost them a few games.

I thought Earl's best moment in that match was when he got down on a shot and the nearest Russian player tried to shark him with a funny colored towel. He stopped, looked at the player and then complained to Michaela, who saw it and also and extended his time. The player was trying everything to set Earl off, but Earl kept his composure. The most disappointing aspect about the incident was how Wyche didn't even acknowledge it in commentary. If it were Earl, the camera would quickly fix on him and the commentary would center towards his behavior. Pool tries to get away from these activities, but when you see it on tv and no one comments about it being wrong, it just perpetuates the behavior. And when the rule of fair game isn't taken seriously, it relegates pool to a game status rather than a true sport.

England vs. USA at 7:30 p.m., British time. What time is that for East Coast? I wonder.

If I'm reading the chart right, we're 5 hours behind on the East Cost. That would make this match start 2:30 p.m., EASTERN Time, I think.

For United States, Midwest, i.e., Des Moines, Iowa, that would be 1:30 p.m.

For Denver, Colorado, area, that would be 12:30 p.m.

For California, that would be 11:30 a.m.

Now they're saying Holland v. Germany goes first at 2:30 p.m., EASTERN TIME, and Earl and Shane won't be up until 4 p.m., EASTERN TIME. What a bummer! I've already got the popcorn made.

I'll be updating for sure, Mark. I will set them up on separate screens, so I can do both at the time. I'm on my work computer, so I have amenities. Being able to type 150-plus words per minute helps too.

Thank you JAM, I have had no problems the past couple of days but today nothing works. ESPN is asking for some provider stuff that I don't have. Haha sports is saying content coming soon and Matchroom keeps going to an opps error page . I'm running bad here lol :smile:

earl/shane go down 9-7. they were down 7-2 and came back to tie it 7-7. got a bad break, england got a nice shot on the one and made a tough run out to to make it 8-7. then boyes made a perfect break for an easy run out for the win. nice come back by earl and shane though, got to see them let their stroke out.

 

[hang-the-9]

Nice match, can't say either team won by luck or the break rule, the miss by Shane on the 2 was brutal though.

Was very exiting to watch the USA team go from 7-2 to tie it up 7-7 only to fall due to a dry break.

While its fun to watch a person/team string racks together, and it enables comebacks from being down easier, the shorter races (say under 9) should be alternate break.

Just had a chance to watch the match. Good. One. Cant remember which game it was but the shot where shane had the 6 and 9 tied up and was shooting the 5. I can't see why he didn't come up with a safe on that one. Instead hit it too hard and missed the 5.....and broke the 6 and 9 up! Oh well. They played great. And Earl showed some real composure. .....for Earl that is.

And I noticed something else in this match......Earl wasn't wearing his arm weights!
Was there a reason for that?
