This isn't to just slam Brandon, I think we can only inagine the pressure out there and we all know he is a talented player. He just was thrown to the lions a little here with this enviroment at York Hall. He has won some tounaments but nothing really big in front of the cameras with an audience like this. Again this is very hard but he needs some more experience and maybe he will get it here with the Mosconi Cup but this is or should not be on the job training. He got VERY lucky in his team match as he had left it wide open and then Johnny Archer had to save him in the doubles match and then obviously outclassed in the singles against Appleton. Hopefully he can get his self together for the next 3 days and perform like we know he can. The exposure that Bigtruck gives him only because they are friends and that isn't the type of exposure that would get him ready for this. Before someone says he is already used to the cameras. GO Team USA
Total agree
Yes he has won the 9 ball State Championship 2 years in a row and probably wouldv'e won it for a 3rd if there wasn't a conflicting tourney.
Unless you play in York Hall you will never know this crowd EVER...
Ive said the same about his gain here in London
Should not be job training?? That was just plain retarded
oke:
Yes and no... This is a team effort so they both are playing in tandem. You cover each others butts but sure.. maybe Brandon was a little light in position and execution but you don't miss from your PC im sure...
Darren is the current 9 ball world champion and Shuff tallied two games against him. How did MD do?? Oh yeah thats right shot maybe 4 times at best and lost 5-0. I guess he is out classed aswell...
This last bit im at lost for words. Its almost like you have a beef with Big Truck!! What the hell does Ray have to do with Shuff and him being there?? You sir really need to evaluate yourself and mayeb think before you type. SO much hate!!! :nono:
Overall Shuff had game day butterflies and why shouldn't he?? He is living his dream!!! How many of you can be where you dreamed you could be?? Not many of you. He needs to work his PSR into the shot clock (which he is not use to) to allow him to play better. I have faith in Shuff and the rest of the team that they will do well and pull this off!! Keep that in mind... This is a TEAM EFFORT!!! Every-bodies play affects the whole team. Day one is over and now that it is he knows what to expect and I really think you will see a different player from here on out!!
Good luck to Brandon and the rest of the team!! They all deserve to be there and they all will play there hearts out.
USA!!!!!! :thumbup2:
