Chill- didn’t mean to start anything… I was going off a comment an earlier poster made… ---

I was very impressed with how he called the game and infused excitement and insights with his commentary. The cherry on top was how he was able to throw in a reference to Rudyard Kipling’s “If.” Wow! That takes skill and intellect. We are lucky to have him calling the game. ---

I ran the numbers on the ages of the players. 88% of the players are 2008 or 2009 birthyears. 15% are Q1 2008, 31% have Q1 birthdays in any year. The quarterly splits for 2008 are pretty even but 2009 skews towards the older kids, no surprise there. | | | | Q1 | | | | | | Q2 | | | | | | Q3 | | | | | | Q4 | | | | | | Total | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Country | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Q1 Total | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Q2 Total | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Q3 Total | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Q4 Total | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Grand Total | | ARG | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 14 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | AUS | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 12 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | BRA | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | CAN | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | CHN | 4 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 14 | | COL | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 15 | | CRO | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | ESP | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 8 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | GRE | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 13 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | HKG | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 14 | | HUN | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | ITA | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | MNE | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 8 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | NZL | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | POR | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 15 | | RSA | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 11 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14 | | SGP | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | SRB | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 15 | | TUR | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 9 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | USA | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 12 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | Total | 43 | 33 | 9 | 6 | 0 | 91 | 53 | 28 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 90 | 44 | 13 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 63 | 32 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 48 | 172 | 85 | 24 | 10 | 1 | 292 | | Percent | 15% | 11% | 3% | 2% | 0% | 31% | 18% | 10% | 3% | 0% | 0% | 31% | 15% | 4% | 1% | 1% | 0% | 22% | 11% | 4% | 1% | 0% | 0% | 16% | 59% | 29% | 8% | 3% | 0% | 100% | ---

Good stuff, Gibson. Thanks. I think Aiden Shin deserves a shout out. Youngest player on the team. Mostly 1-2 years younger. He averaged (not counting our starting goalie) the second most minutes, 4th most goals, and tied for second in assists. ---

Yep, we already established that if you are born in a odd year, you should quit water polo and hate your parents for messing you up so royally. Keep up the good fight. ---

Seems like any quarter but one. Although Q2 produced best talent this year, 8/14. ---

I don’t think the World Champs tournament committee factors in American kids not getting fair recognition or the participation trophies they think they deserve when they are organizing the tournament. This is a world championship, equivalent to the Olympics for their age group, not a youth rec league. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though. ---

Agree. WPDAD28 is just saying he feels bad for them, not that anyone needs to change it. There is a line in the sand and it makes sense globally. But yes, I feel bad for them too but it is what it is. ---

Could be worse. Could be an August 1 bday in an odd year. . . ---
