Matchroom does it right, consistently delivering the best Pool shows for a worldwide television audience. The critics of short race 9-Ball need to watch these shows. Every match has many twists and turns, full of drama, pressure and excitement. The China A match vs. lowly Estonia earlier today was a classic. You could feel the tension as the players had to execute one difficult shot after another. I was also very impressed with the way Austria fought back from a 5-2 deficit against Poland. Albin Ouschan is a real champion, cool as a cucumber under intense pressure. One final thought. This competition demonstrates how popular a sport Pool is internationally. There are good teams competing here from all over the globe and upsets are the order of the day. Pool is no longer the exclusive domain of a few countries. Many smaller countries are fielding excellent teams. It would appear to me that Pool is gaining in popularity worldwide.
