Editor’s note: Live video stream is down for some reason. In the meantime, follow USA v. New Zealand on Pointstreak.
Editor’s pick for game of the day: New Zealand (3-1) vs. USA 4-0). USA playing with greater confidence in 2012 will get their first big test against a tough New Zealand squad, which is coming off a tough extra inning loss to 4-time gold medalist Australia yesterday. New Zealand led in that game 5-1, so clearly they can play with the best.
Here are the standings through Day 5. Top four teams in each pool advance to the playoff round.
Update: USA Jrs. have defeated New Zealand to run their record to 5-0 in 2012 ISF Jr. Men’s World at Parana, Argentina, will face also unbeaten (and 4 time gold medal winner) Australia tomorrow in final pool play game.
