Europe Mosconi Cup Team Finalised
- Thread starter coco9
- Start date
Two worthy contenders, yet I have mixed feelings based on behavior exhibited at last year's cup. Americans are condemned for their behind-the-scenes and on-table behavior, but nothing, not one little peep, is mentioned about the blue-blooded Euros at last year's Cup.
With that said, I do respect Mosconi Cup generosity to continuing this tradition. In this regard, I will have to say the Sinerenity Prayer, I guess. :angel2:
Really surprised Karl makes it over Thorsten. I guess playing to the UK fans and Blackpool specifically since Karl is from there.

Well - the Europeans had blue-blooded-behaviour and the USA had Earl. :grin:
If the Euros go without Thorsten Hohman, they leave out an opportunity.
World Cup of Pool champs is probably what swung it, I would guess.
It could be competitive this year.
More like crotch-grabbing Boxing Brits.
I agree about Thorsten, though. He has not completed in many, if any, Euro events, which is probably why he has been eliminated from the selection criteria. Things aren't so bad for Mr. Hohmann, though, after pocketing $25,000 in California earlier this month at the Challenge of Champions.
Life is good for the German living in America. Hey, maybe Team USA could use a pinch shooter with Thorsten. :grin-square:
Maybe Boyes won't be so fast to open his pie hole as last year, when he opened it the
wrong way to the wrong person got his shirt ripped off, and his team ran to his aid. :grin:

Europe must be pretty condient to waste 1 of their wildcard on Boyes.
Bad choice in Boyes- Thorsten should be in . Injustice that they leave him out again after last year. If not Thorsten better other choices Mika or even Ralf
This may be USA best chance to win

Put Darren on our side too, representing Pennsylvania. :grin:
Mika and thorsten are basically American now a days, they should just play for American team
1,2 barbecue
Good choice, they could not leave out Darren A. and adding Karl B., his winning WcoP teammate playing home is an excellent choice. Mark G. earned the spot through a good point system, as well as Niels F. and our own Nick E.
I like the US team too, coming this year with a different approach, we just have to wait and see how it goes, I'm sure it's going to be a great Mosconi cup!!

If Mika is left out again, they just have to naturalise Mika and it is game on :grin:
Mark Gray is old vet player perhaps oldest in the team 40+
Was ex-snooker player (not an elite in snooker) who migrated to pool. Played in MC few years ago. IMHO if team was handpicked would not pick him but he qualified for the 3 qualifying spots so he deserved it :grin:
