World Cup
- Thread starter Str8DBLz
- Start date
So as not to start another thread on the World Cup action, my posting of any comments will be here. I have fond memories of this competition from the mid-1980's when it was held most years at Centennial Hall on the campus of the University of Toledo. At the time, we lived in Maumee, OH and a couple years in Monroe, MI. It was NOT very well attended at that time.
Action starts in 20 minutes. Go Jason, Go Kyle, Go USA!
EDIT: Action starts at 11:00am EST.

I think action starts at 11:30 EST (Flo has the annoying habit of listing all their times CST).
Thanks nerf, just looked at the schedule again. Probably won't see much of today's second match (vs China). It's starting at 11:00am EST.
This USA Wrestling Preview says 10 CT:

Why is Zane Richards going against Zandanbud instead of Suriano? Zandanbud is one of Mongolias best guys and I would think Suriano matches up better.
Edit. Good thing I’m not the coach!! Richard’s with the 10-0 tech. He looked incredible. Zandanbud was world bronze this year so that’s a great result for Richards

Anyone else having problems with the flo feed? Stopping and constantlly buffering. Any advice? (Other than not giving these pricks at flo another cent of my money>)

In the end, didn't matter. Yianni was outwrestled. That arm throw for the last four was impressive.
Might've been a 'correct throw' call. Yianni was kind of horsed around anyway, not much to complain about there. That Mongolian was good.
VINCENZO gets the call at 74kg!

I wished I believed in something the way that Cenzo believes he can throw anybody.
Cenzo gets the first match instead of Nolf and he goes down 8-0. Kept getting to double overs but never really came close to scoring and instead gave up 3 tds, a step out, and a shot clock point. Cenzo looked flat. He also was the leanest I think I’ve ever seen him. Seems to be in great shape
Jordan Burroughs, now wanted for murder in Coralville
JB with a tech in just about a min. What an absolute pleasure it has been to watch JB’s career. Such a talent and seems to be just as good of a person as he is a wrestler
He looked a bit "NLWC" there w/ the ankle pick and the bow & arrow.
Zahid having a coke after the match?

Zillmer shooting, gets the get, but can't get the Mongolian down.
Zillmer loses 3-1 but gave a really nice effort.

Nate Jackson gets the forfeit at 92kg and then Kyle Snyder gets a forfeit at 97kg. Weird situation though because at 97kg the Mongolian took the mat but then didn’t wrestle at gave Snyder the forfeit win. Not sure why he didn’t wrestle especially since he came out to the center
I guess Mongolia had visa issues at 61 and 92--but the 97 forfeit was a surprise to the announcer, and seemingly, Snyder as well.
