Should have had Hatchetman and Earl on the team.


They should have a team of the cast offs against the guys that were on the team this year.. Earl, Rodney, hatch, archer and Oscar. I bet those five could hold their own

we were outplayed. :thumbup:

love the big cat facepalm, btw.

Simple as that.
Outplayed.
We had our chances.

It was nice to see SVB keep it going when it was on the line.
There is no reason to believe we could not have come back.

I like the OP's list of "excuses."
No matter what, both teams played under the same conditions.

One could keep changing the "starting five" ad nauseam.
"Cast-offs?" What is that?

We have the team. No need to change anything.

May have missed if another said it already..

They played the MC during the day. Who does that?

That serves a big purpose. It takes into consideration the time difference
for the visiting team.

When the MC is in Europe those games are usually played late morning to
late afternoon as well.

It's a big world. You have to look at the big picture.

Tom Cruise would have handled those Euro-trash with ease...it would have been no contest if Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman were still alive with the man himself "Willie Mosconi" to captain the team.:grin:

The announcer spoke in some language only the Euro team seemed to understand.

The commentators were mean and talked bad about the Americans, who are all sensitive people.

The Euro's official traveling Mormon Tuberculosis Choir was too professional and strong, overwhelming the weaker non-singing simplistic slogans of the American side. They should have allowed a street dance off, like in Stomp the Yard.

The Euros took half the hill-hill matches. Who could possibly fade that!!!

Just joining in the fun of making excuses. Their play was the reason they lost. :(

Barry Hearn would not let team USA come out to Rick James music. It created a depressive and defeated mood in the US practice room.

Bergman was looking forward to wearing his Rick James wig.

Corey had been working on his dance moves forever it seemed.

Dechaine was saddened that after waiting years to get back on the team, he couldnt strut to the table as 'Superfreak' played in the background.

Skylar is the mother fooking honey badger. He did not give a fook as he was just happy to be there.

Shanes plans of coming to the table yelling, "I'm Rick James, *****....", were thwarted and there were not enough "player captains" this year to quickly come up with a viable solution.

All in all a sad situation, that could have been completely different if THE Funkmasters music would have been allowed to be heard. :thumbup:

The races were to short

The table had side pockets

Jump cues were allowed

The players didn't bet anything

The ref made the wrong call

European fans were annoying

Europe got all the rolls

9 counted on the break

There was no call shot

Did I forget any?

We didn't have Earl the Squirrel,
We didn't have Buddy Hall,
We didn't have Archer, no Hot Rod, no Earthquake, no Alex, and no non US North Americans,
We had shitty US commentators distracting the players,
We had Corey Deuel (has that ship finally f'n sailed yet?!),
9 racked on the spot,
No break box,
The Euros are all supported by their governments and it didn't cost them a cent to attend,
We don't have any asexual looking players,
We got no tards in the stand chanting EuuuuuuuuuRRRRRRoooooopppppppppeeeeee.
We like to talk a lot during Doubles play, we are just friendly that way,
We don't have a laughing midget team captain stirring up the crowd,
We had a shit ESPN3 coverage that thought the first 30 minutes each day wasn't worth showing therefore we all started our day angry,
We got Big Head Dechaine.

First off I'm all about team USA. Now to the main problem
It was played in Vegas so the high humidity was killing them.

Yeah, that was it...the humidity.
Due to the shooting of Oceans 11.

...took them 50 years to get rid of the excess moisture from Oceans Eleven

The Americans were playing in completely unfamiliar conditions.
They play in American pool halls and have never confronted the capricious behaviour of NEW cloth - for example, kicks.

Canada aka Alex P. should be allowed to play and it sould be Team North America.

Jayson Shaw lives in the U.S and should be allowed to play for Team USA.

There was a fan with a flashing camera. Mike Dechaine saw it.
