ENGLAND WINS THE WORLD CUP
In the semi-finals, England came through a tough match against Finland 9-6, while Holland ran away with their match against Austria, losing the first but then not dropping another rack, including running out four-in-a-row from 4-1 to 8-1.
England A 9-6 Finland
Holland 9-1 Austria
The final was a cliffhanger that came down to the last two balls. In a match full of errors from both teams, Holland reached the hill first at 9-7 and should have finished it, but allowed England back in and the match went hill-hill. England then squandered their opportunity by scratching the break in the final rack to give Holland ball-in-hand. That should have been the end of it and Holland ran the first seven balls of the final rack, but then made an error to let England in. England then should have won it, but missed and that should have been it in Holland"s favour, but they were very unlucky as the cueball and eightball went either side of the nine. They hit it but left an opportunity and this time England didn"t miss and finished off the nine.
England A 10-9 Holland

I don"t often go on 2+2, but I was there last night and came across this, posted yesterday:
"Built a 140,000 stack on Day One through some steady Negreanu play and threw it all away on a Trickett.."
Amused me anyway.

Got to wondering whether it could apply to APAT. Turns out there are many possibilities:
"Built a 140,000 stack on Day One through some steady McBride play and threw it all away on a Ward".
"Built a 140,000 stack on Day One through some steady Roberts play and threw it all away on a Sharp".
"Built a 140,000 stack on Day One through some steady Williams play and threw it all away on a Tam".
"Built a 140,000 stack on Day One through some steady Rudling-Smith play and threw it all away on a Rudling-Smith".
etc
