I'm sure I won't get a lot of responses, but anyone watching?
For those that aren't familiar, it's basically golf's Ryder Cup, except for pool. USA versus Europe. Last year it was played in Las Vegas with Europe winning. This year its being played in London.
Today started with a team match. 5 players from each team playing head to head until one team wins 5 racks.
Day 1 Highlights
Day 1 - Match 1
Team Match
Day 1 - Match 3
Shane Van Boening vs Filler
Day 1 - Match 4
I'm just now watching. Was not able to watch live today but will try to watch tomorrow.
Hopefully there's other pool players here that would enjoy the watch. I had friends that went to it in Vegas, I might go next year. If I'm not the only one watching I'll try to keep the thread updated.

I have the yearly DAZN subscription that is broadcasting it now. It is one of the better deals in sports streaming in my opinion with boxing, MMA, Snooker, Pool, Darts, Soccer, Cricket, etc. all being broadcast for the $99 a year subscription.
Hell, one PPV fight will cost almost that much.
ETA: I'm a player, and big fan of darts and have been following the PDC Darts Tournaments for many years now over the net. DAZN carries all the big tournaments and the Premier League play every spring.

Yeah, I considered just doing the one month for $20 thing, still might, but too busy during the day right now to watch live and can watch all the matches on YouTube tonight after work.
Good to know that DAZN is a good option though.
Thanks for keeping me from talking to myself, btw.

I always watch these eventually. The US has really been dominated over the past 10 years.

I miss the days of pool on ESPN. Archer, Reyes, Strickland. Etc.

Took the words out of my mouth. Those guys on the men's side and Jeanette Lee, Ewa Matawya, Allison Fisher, Vivian Villarreal on the women's. I was about 13-14 back then and absolutely obsessed with pool. I practically learned to play watching ESPN pool

Strickland is playing in it this year! Good start by US.

Earl got sent home. Somebody on his flight tested positive for covid.

Earl can really be an arse. But he is entertaining. And a damn fine player. He surely takes pride in repping the US.

Yeah, that blows. Jeremy Jones is doing his best but Earl would have been a huge help.
Still, we have a lead going into day 3. Up 5-4.

Willie and all those other sharks were celebrities back in the day. Saw Detroit Whitey do a demonstration back in the day.

I got to see Mosconi do an exhibition back in the early 70's and he ran rack after rack of straight pool without a miss before switching off and getting into some of his trick shots.
Very impressive stuff and one of my favorite old school pool players. There were a couple time he and Minnesota Fats played on TV-----Wide World Of Sports I believe, and Willie always came out on top.
Fats was more of a showman but never saw the prestige Willie gathered during his time at the tables.

Cool stuff and great times.

I will check it out after work. I think its great when the snooker players play 9 ball.

A regulation pool table has to feel like a bumper pool table to the snooker players with the size difference.
It didn't hurt Allison Fisher or Karen Korr to come from Snooker to the American game of 9 ball as they dominated for decades on the WPBA.

I never got to see stuff like that. But I did get to watch my friend's 12 year old play Jeanette Lee at her exhibit in Vegas during the APA tournament. It was a fun watch, she would mess with anyone that was playing her and the kid was giving back as much as she was giving. Lots of balls on that kid to get up in front of the crowd and give her some shite. I still show that to people on Facebook from time to time.

Today's matches.
Highlights
Match 3
Only thing I see so far. Hopefully that's not a bad sign. Trying not to look at any updates until I watch the matches.
