according to wikipedia, they are already in the semis stage.

DOM x PUR (again!) and COL x MEX.

we see here some of the same teams as in the recent pan am cup. CUB finished 0-3 in pool play (!). COL again defeats PUR... bricio in the MEX team.

Today is the finals:

emerging Colombia will try to challenge Dominican Republic.

there is a link to 4 different channels. I'm pretty sure one of those will broadcast the gold medal match.

I'm impressed how quickly colombians have emerged as a force in the panam area. For sure, the brazilian coach Rizzola has to take a lot of credit for this success.

CUB lost to TTO!!!! will play for last place against CRC.

yes, COL has made great strides lately. very impressed with the titulares, pity the team was not so good when they had moreno & montaño.

what i noticed with rizola though that i don’t like is, he makes the double substitution, and they play one rally/play, then he takes them out! why? he always does that. it’s silly.

i wonder if PUR will add ocasio & enright for the WCh, they have not played with this NT and it’s almost time for the WCh.

final live right now:

it seems that pri rivera made a triumphant return to the NT... look who got the MVP award?

it seems that both COL and PUR cannot match DOM's firepower these days... DOM easily dominated this tournament. too bad, DOM can't get their act together against tougher opposition.

These are two different tournaments. US did not participate on the Central American Caribbean Games because they are part of NORTH AMERICA. Rivera was the MVP.

Carlini was probably the MVP of the Pan American Cup.
