Dammit, I wasn't thinking.
World Snooker posted the score to the China A game on Twitter.
I was Tivoe-ing that for later.

After a first session going to form, the first shocks come with Norway beating Thailand and Austria beating Poland.

The commentators are praising Ding for 'getting involved in the coin toss'.

Nothing says Eurosport snooker more than listening to Joe Johnson.

I haven't seen many of those ridiculous England flags on cars and vans and hanging in windows. Are the public aware that the Snooker World Cup is going on?
Kyren Wilson and Jack Lisowski are laying their heart and souls out on the table to play for Henry 8th's memory and no one seems interested.
This is not acceptable!!

Which is pretty bad when theres 3 world cups on at the moment. If the flags were out we wouldn't know which one people were following!

If Kyren and Jack bring the trophy back this week then I think it will be just the tonic England needs and they should be given an open top bus parade around all the major cities in England.
I would expect hundreds of thousands of people to turn out in each city. Similar to a Donald Trump rally.

This time, more than any other time, this time,
We're going to find a way,
Find a way to get away,
This time, getting it all together
We'll get it right
This time, get it right,
This time
It makes you wonder,
It makes you proud
To play for England,
And hear the crowd
As we're marching
On towards victory

Apparently, it's Jack Lisowski's birthday.
Let's hope he can help England to World Cup Success for his birthday.
