Josh Robert’s, for one, is a better player than several other picks in the last few years. However, it’s typical and expected, just as the losses are to other countries, around the world. Years ago, as great as the American players were, as soon as competition started to come to America from around the world, America has consistently been beaten down and completely humiliated by the rest of the world. I saw it in the 1960’s and 70’s, when soldiers returned from the war and described how the Filipino players took their money. Then, when the Filipino players came to America, they called it a “Filipino Invasion “!!!! What the Hell were they invading? The sheer arrogance of the statements about the “Foreign Players “ was ridiculous, ending with America shamefully getting our Asses kicked on the World stage. I don’t know where Pool would be without Non-American players! The World of Pool players knows that the United States is not putting their best players on the Felt, and them kicking our Asses is proof. I’m ashamed of what happened to the “American game”, and it’s proof that it never belonged to America. Just look at the names in the Major Tournaments! Twenty year old players are playing our Best, Head up, and are dominating America for the most part!
