Mosconi Cup Updates

Johnny plays safe, leaves Europe a bank, they miss and leave the cueball on the end rail. Shane also plays safe, shooting the 8 up and down leaving the cueball on the other end, but leaves a tricky shot.

Niels cuts the 8 in but overruns position on the 9 leaving Nick a tough 9 into the side.

Nick jumps up after shooting the 9 but it goes down. Hill-hill!
 
Archer breaks in the last rack, making 4 balls.

Shane makes a nice cutshot on the 4 ball going 3 rails for the 5 ball into the corner pocket. 3 balls left on the table.

This surely has to be 6-5 for USA. Archer makes the 8ball but leaves the cueball tight on the rail. No problem for SVB. 6-5 USA

After one race to six I have learned that Chris Melling is a world beater and Shane Van Boening sucks.

Who knew?

I agree Justin, Its clear Shane is on his way down, careerwise.

Heres my suggested format, the TAR Cup.
Week 1
Shane vs Souquet - race to 100
Shane vs Neils - race to 100
Shane vs NVB - race to 100
Shane vs Chris M - race to 100
Shane vs Appleton - race to 100

I bet Shane gets to 11 before Europe. :)
 
Archer has played pretty much flawless.. His contributions have been absolutely essential in the USA getting both points so far!
 
Great match there, the U.S. really needed to win that one to stay in the Cup.

Great shot from Shane on the 4 ball to get going in the last rack.

Johnny is definitely priceless on the Mosconi Cup team.

Was that CaliRed in the crowd?

I've only seen his face from his ustream account, but the guy cheering after Shane made the 9 to win the set looked a lot like him

Put the crack pipe down and push yourself away from the keyboard. Your sounding like a fool.
 
Why not jump the 9 to make the 8 on the previous rack after Shane botched the shape? Looked like a 1/4 ball jump at most. No need for a jump cue either. No worry about going off the table. Shape might be an issue, but compared to that terrible safe....
 
Anyone else notice the difference between the fans in the US being respectful to both teams while at the table. Unlike the euro trash last year in york hall sharking, moving, dropping things and getting warned every other shot.
