World Cup live Thread

[CropDuster507]

Snyder gets a step-out. Leads on criteria 1-1.

 

[CropDuster507]

GEO gets a late, crappy TD call. Snyder turns around and scores with roughly 5seconds left.
3-3 criteria win for Snyder.
4-3 (15-14) USA going into HWT.
Our fate rests in Rey against #1 HWT in the world...

 

[dunkej01]

Snyder remains the man. Wrestle till the whistle

 

[CropDuster507]

Rey gives up a takedown, looking for a crap counter chest-wrap. 2-0 GEO, but being challenged.
We're going to lose this one. Most likely looking 3-0.

 

[CropDuster507]

Nevermind. I'm an idiot, apparently. 2-2 going back to the feet, for Rey exposure.

 

[TexasLion1979]

J'Den gets a huge takedown to cut the lead to 7-2. Another takedown that was sketchy. Looked for head pinch, but drops the bout 7-4.
3-3 (13-12) GEO adv according to Flo.

Really bad challenge by the USA coaches. Cox down by two might have gotten a two pt. takedown instead of going for a four.

 

[CropDuster507]

GEO takedown into a lace. Same exact shot and position. 8-2 GEO.

 

[CropDuster507]

6-2. I thought that was screwy. Now, into the second.

 

[CropDuster507]

Rey barely sniffs a leg a couple of times. GEO wins 6-2.
4-4 (17-16) GEO wins. Ugh.

 

[papa_ed]

I appreciate the pbp CD, thanks!

Thanks for all your work Crop, all in all a good weekend for the U.S.A. Without our star, JB. Congrats to him and his family. What a weekend for Frank, I'm speechless.

 

[Pile nome]

Thanks, Iowa!

At least Metcalf wasn't there to shit the bed

 

[CropDuster507]

Hate to be "that guy", but I'ma go catch RUS-IRI without pbp. If someone cares to take over, be my guest. It was fun, guys.

What kind of infant has to hide to come here?

 

[WildTurk]

The former Hawkeyes (Dennis & Ramos) had a very tough weekend.

No excuses whatsoever for them. Watch some videos of their opponents the last few years. Best in the World.

I would pay to watch Nico or Gilman wrestle Rahimi. Elite wrestling forsure

Russia and Iran are the Kings right now. USA is knocking down that door. Cant wait for Rio!

Agreed.

If nico or Gilman could do better they would be there. Felt the same when the tan guys were complaining about frank.

Lemon Pie doing lemon pie things..

Good eye!! Lol. I just noticed that if you jumble up the letters in his forum name it can indeed spell out Lemon Pie.

That's funny, when I scrambled the letters in his handle, it came out as douchenozzle.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Sweet Caroline is playing. Ugh. I despise listening to people singing this in unison, in public.

They do that at the Red Sox games in Boston. Makes me want to puke.

 

[dunkej01]

I saw that too but I dismissed it and said to myself ...nahh....but have to admit once I saw the post on HR, i said....self that is some decent mid level trolling.....not big cheese to la gran queso level but decent nonetheless

Yes it does! You're better at this than I am. Lol

Credit goes to Spooner on HR. Atleast i think it was him who scrambled it.

Was Lemon Pie banned over there? I was as well but never really considered making a new username.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

great job this weekend, Crop. I've done enough PBPs on this board to appreciate what a challenge it can be to get things right, to accurately detail what happens and what nearly happens, AND to try to enjoy the wrestling yourself.

also, kudos to WildTurk for getting this thread started, and doing some early PBP.

I was banned. Not sure if it's an IP ban, but used a VPN just in case.

Wasn't Metcalf undefeated at the last two World Cups?

 

[SRATH]

Thanks for the pbp.....,great stuff. USA making progress with some work to do, but certainly moving in the right direction.

Jersey Frank wins Flo Wrestler of The Week. Well done, sir! http://www.flowrestling.org/article/42590-flowrestler-of-the-week-frank-molinaro

 

[amalone]

Frank... just goes out there and proves the doubters wrong. Goes 4-0 over the weekend. Goes down 3-0 to the Georgian wrestler and he just tires the guy out with heavy hands and constant pressure on his opponents head. I watched the bout on NBC Sports and in this match.. I had every confidence that Frank would come back in the match... with no homerism thrown in. Frank is a hammer at 65kg and I doubt that anyone at the Olympics is going to be stronger than Frank. He could create magic at the Olympics if he guards against getting down early. If he creates the early pressure, gets early points... Frank could medal. Here's to him doing so.

Frank... just living the dream.

Impressive showing also by James Green going 4-0 at the World Cup. Did Kyle Snyder do the same? Wish Jordan Burroughs and Tervel Dlagnev were at this meet. Completely different results happen if they were. No one's beating Jordan and none of the matches come down to Tervel if Jordan wins.

I'd like to see those guys enter their names on the country entry form you get on the plane, in turbulence and with the golf pencil.

I don't disagree, but that says a lot more about the depth of talent in Russia than it does the quality of this team. Five of the Russians who wrestled against Iran yesterday are ranked in the top 5 in the world (and another one is ranked 9th).
