I like Alex Lely even though he does not reveal the funniest road-stories on air

I am all for Europe, being European, but I like the way this tournament is turning out. It is good for the Sport. I think for the first time there has not been any "Drama" going on and just People concentrating on pool and US-Team is acting like a Team for once. Good on them! I believe Johan's...

this is a Video from "my" poolhall in my hometown in Finland where the best of Finland goes against the best of Russia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BQx7z1TeRU

I was pretty much the only amateur there actually... There was nick vd berg, Stephan Cohen, serge das and a couple of more international level players there... Doing stuff at different level. It was called boot camp as well... Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Germany, UK, Netherlands, Poland....then there are the "smaller" countries that could field top-class Talent but not 10...even NL and Poland is pushing to get to 10....but mosconi is 5 or 6

but why is it? having done 3 of those bootcamps myself only as an Amateur but with Johann and Alex....I am familiar with the concept.... do they feel they have - nothing to learn? - demeaning/waste of time to do exercises - too costly? to me....as an Amateur....the first step would be "yeah...

I just wanted to chime in a Little bit. THere has been some comments on Coach not being able to motivate the People enough....but to me that is looking at things completely wrong. It is not the coaches Job to motivate....if you do not have the Motivation to be there and to win.....then you...

and Finland....B****rds trying to keep us down....:eek:

OI!!!! Your map of Europe is missing the best part! Where is Finland!! :eek::grin-square:

well he is biting the Hand that is feeding him....I am sure he has signed some contract with Matchroom for the tournament and they do not wish to be associated with personal insults on air..... in the end his behavior tells more about him and what he stands for ...I know whom I respect more...

If he said Kraut...that's not good...and to Ralf of all People. You'd be hard to find more of a Gentleman Player in the pool-world than Ralf....what if someone called Oscar a spic...I doubt that would go down well with him, his Team or the audience...

Stepanov was there once...

most of the People are in Europe...

I do not believe they Play officially under any flag. They (Matchroom) have just Chosen the flag of EU to be the easily recognizable Symbol for the Team. There has been non EU Players in the Team already before...Russian for example.... therefore neither British gov't nor any EU entity has any...
