They may beat us in pool but geez. ‘We built this city’? Then again they think Sweet Caroline came out last week.
He also said maybe expanding to North America and including Canadabarry hearn was on between the matches. his response was more events in the US
which i guess in time can grow US players. but until then the euro and asian players gonna rob those events
Who is going to pay for that?Sure it’s disappointing, but should anyone be surprised? We simplify can’t compete with Europe. I don’t think it’s within the rules, but we need to put together a team soon after this cup and have them play together for a year.
Wait till we learn that team USA pooled all their money and bet 11-0 Europe...
Greatest Mosconi cup victory in US history!!!!
So, has the Mosconi cup jumped the shark?
Gorst looked shell shocked in that first game against Filler. I think the whole Team USA is shell shocked after what just happened in that first match. Filler's position shot from the six to seven in rack one was twice as hard as Styer's eight to nine was, and he hit it perfectly. That clearly shows the difference ability wise in these two teams. Pros playing amateurs is how it looks.
Yes, in addition to this, I would say good luck finding a good mechanic to do tips.Most young adults do not have the kind of income (or wealth) that would allow them to buy a high end cue.
And you don't fix that problem by making high end cues lower priced--
You fix the problem by making low end jobs pay more--
{{OR make lesser gamblers win big more often}}
Filler doesn't make many mistakes. You need to punish him when he does. Crazy how clinical Gorst normally is, but never quite seems the same player at Mosconi.
8-0 would turn into 11-0, maybe 11-1. Feels like some kind of change would have to happen, especially with USA having no one on the bench to help them out and Team Europe not even being at peak power this year.Maybe four matches today. 8-0 is a distinct possibility now.
