]]> Comment on Day 9 – WPC 2007 final Peach vs Gomez by SportsFan http://sportsaddick.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/day-9-wpc-2007-final-peach-vs-gomez/#comment-2 SportsFan Sun, 11 Nov 2007 15:50:17 +0000 http://sportsaddick.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/day-9-wpc-2007-final-peach-vs-gomez/#comment-2 Thanks for the many kind words you have written about our (Philippines')new pool hero Roberto Gomez. He is really a longshot, a virtual unknown even to us Filipino fans. So the fact that he has reached this far is already a big accomplishment. It was asking too much from him to ride out the extreme pressure. Gomez really needs a lot more experience and seasoning. It showed in his safeties and kickshots which were not the best. Hopefully he will get more respect after his performance here. Daryll Peach showed his class inspite of the crowd being against him. Sorry for that, that's just the way Filipino fans are, whatever the game is. We have so few things to cheer for, what with the way our country is being run. Sports unites us and it gives us the opportunity to feel proud about ourselves. I hope the international pool community supports our Filipino pool players. You must agree, for sheer creativity and imagination, the Filipino pool player has few peers. Hard shots, impossible situations do not faze us. We take risks; we make gutsy plays; we play our hearts out; we cry when we lose. Even when we'redown, we get up again. And we look forward to the next game when we can make "bawi" (or "exact revenge"). Our players will be back in the World Pool Championships finals again. And we'll thrill the world with another dramatic game of the sport we all love. Thanks for the many kind words you have written about our (Philippines’)new pool hero Roberto Gomez.
