World Cup of Pool 2017 (13-18June2017), London /Scotch Doubles 9 Ball

Shane and Sky are winning, but they started off rocky. I was watching with muted audio as I'm working at my job. The expressions on their faces, each of their faces, seemed to lack self-confidence.

The Team Singapore has not played well, giving Shane and Sky the ability to recover from their mistakes.

Now in Game 6 out of 7, Sky and Shane look more relaxed and smiling, but still, the air of uncertainty looms on their faces from time to time. I don't see that look on, say, Mika, Rodney, Earl, Niels, Thorsten, Efren.

Just an observation.

I was thinking the same while watching the match.
Johan Ruijsink is there watching them and I think this puts a bit of extra pressure on them.

That could be. There is something to be said about the power of positive thinking. Both of them looked uncertain and scared, like wet cats.

When you see veteran players or maybe I should say seasoned players -- not saying Shane is not seasoned -- they don't have that look of uncertainty at the table.
 
Shane Sky whitewashes Singapore 7-0
Well played.

So many whitewashes 7-0 this year. 4 in round 1 while last year there was none. I see much fewer dry breaks this year- maybe AtLarge has the stats :smile:

Coming up
Round 2 Japan v Canada
Bookmakers have Canada as slight favorites
 
Go90 app if you are on Apple Device, its the same stream that is on Eleven Sports Network, but free. Not sure if it works on android devices.

I like to see a little fear on players I'm betting on...fear is your friend...
...panic is your enemy......fear keeps you striving.
