Lol, yeah. I like the dude, but the truth is, if he had ANY interest in playing on the WNT, he would be. My conclusion is that he doesn't. And that's fine.

don't know if trying to break them up was the right shot there.. once again a strategic error

You're really in your feelings. It's just a show man. Relax, breathe, light up a joint or something. Get laid maybe? Or go hit some balls to relieve the stress. Or seek therapy.

This is not healthy behavior.

It would make the world a much better place if more people would react to the wrongs of the world. I react that way to every wrong I see. I once worked as a handy man at my family's apartment complex. There was a young couple who I taught the husband how to play pool. One day I'm walking past the courtyard and I hear them yelling at each other and the wife comes out of the house and the husband follows. He grabs her and slams her into the porch fence hard enough to break the sunglasses off of her face. I run over and slam him against the wall and only the terror and complete supplication on his face saved him from a beating.

I was accused of having an affair with his wife because people can't seem to understand standing up against wrongs. I ALWAYS stand up against wrongs in whatever way I can.

nice shot on the one to do that runout

100%. Crying about the crowd is ridiculous. The US team has absolutely fallen apart at key moments. I admittedly do not watch all that much pool live, but some of the misses and blown shape has been unforgiveable. Yes, there is pressure, but damn, these are pros that do this for a living...crazy.

If it were on the other foot, you bitches would be screaming at the moon. it would be "Yeah, the only way the Americans can win is by cheating" GTFO of here.

You get the crowd trying to shark basketball players when they on the free throw line.
What’s the big deal?

The Europeans don’t mind the noise while shooting the 9.
Pro pool players should be mentally above and beyond letting some sharking affect them.
Just an excuse for poor performance

If you're winning its not an issue and it's fun, if you're losing, it's the reason you're losing and you should be able to beat the people up . Did I get it right? This is actually how people think.

If America was winning and encouraging the yelling there wouldn't be a word said

Yeah I would suggest everyone stop watching until they do something about it. Them allowing the crowd to be going nuts only when americans are down on the 9 ball is absolutely ridiculous. I won't be watching any more WNT events. I've also cancelled my sub.

labubu the mouse, i can't unsee it now

Any certain cue?

Can you provide better pics?

I’m listening to New Orleans Christmas playlist and Mosconi on mute. Highly recommended

You are conflating two separate issue.

The US team's performance is one thing (it sucks); the behavior of the crowd is another (also sucks).
