Mosconi Updates Please

They NEED to switch this to at least being Europe vs America.
Give Team America the ability to get Alex, then you have Alex and SVB on the same team, that would be awesome and those are two of the greatest players to ever live. Then you only need to find 3 other players, Earl is shooting well, Corey can play, and there you have 4 pretty good players for the 5 man team. Add Archer as a fifth, he got pummeled in this last match but he can still turn it on and do the same thing back to people when things click for him.
Adding a 3rd team to the mix, team Asia and making this a 3 way event? That would be the nuts, that would be so freaking cool to see how the dynamics work and how each team deals with the other.
Of course Team Asia would be insane, you could have 5 of these 6 Orcullo, Ko, Biado, Corteza, Chang, Wu. Who the heck is going to beat that? No one, that is who.
Mvp
Neils or Karl is definitely getting MVP this year, they're both playing extra sharp.

Full circle. We'd then have the original World Team Billiards concept. I'd vote for it. But it would have to include Team China, Team Taiwan, Team Japan, and oh yeah, Team Pinoy!
Freddie <~~~ go Team USA!
Neils is even breathing perfectly.
Exactly. There should be an intercontinental cup. Europe vs Asia vs America. What a huge event that would be.
Good luck having e.g. China and Taiwan and Japan in the same team. The Mosconi cup was essentially a USA vs. Britain exhibition when it started, no chance for getting e.g. the Yugoslavian countries to participite at that time.
These days there is an evergrowing idea of a united Europe, so the Mosconi and Ryder Cups are doing fine.
Think you'll find that, aside from a few sporting events the Euros can set aside their differences to get together and whoop up on us yanks, the idea of a united Europe isn't quite supported universally.
I hadn't had time to read AZ since the matches started.
My 2 cents du jour. More to follow once I get more time. It's kinda crazy here.
OK, ya'll saw the carnage. Not sure why Earl wasn't fireplugged as an igniter. Your guess is perhaps as good as mine.
The Euro's are happy, US fans are ok-ish.
Pinky, I, and at least 20 other AZers went to Best Billiards afterwards. Sjm, Cuebuddy, Lou Fig, Will (won the AZ contest for tickets and wore the red, white, blue & stars outfit left of table), Jimmy, Joe, Rick S, fat Albert, EZ Money, Vagabond's Brits, other Brits, and and...
I brought my cue to Vegas. No case, wouldn't fit in suitcase. Pull it out for our "private" Diamond room at Best Billiards I chalked it, and all I had was ferrule. No tip. We negotiated a triple scotch double game. Rick (Rixx Images) spots me a cue, empathizing with my tears.. I take one shot with his cue, and his tip falls off. WTF? Done. I'm on housecue detail, feeling jinxed, dang thing had more deflection than JB Cases on a good day.
I'm hoarse and whipped.
I decreed my love to Michaela on live stream. She ignored me. She's married dammit. But I think we'll get her white gloves after the inevitable happens.
I'm all over the place right now. Just left elevator where Hatch walks out and invites us to his room, with at least 10 people, including his Mom. We're @ to head there. Not saying he's in mourning, but he's not doing cartwheels.
Players and people on the ïnside were yakking up a storm. Earl may have had an opinion.
Johnny's daughter, LeeAnne, was an awesome cheerleader: "he's big, he's bad, his name is Johnny Archer".
I won $5 before table time and tip fixings were more. That's all that counts for a selfish pool player.
Just got a $23 roast beef sandwhich at Carnegie Deli.
Nathan has keys for the BB arena and some really well done tats.
The volcano continues to blow on every hour.
None of my pictures are publishable.
I'll try to make more sense soon.

JUST when I was getting over the fact that I had to digress and pay bills while the better half was unemployed since July instead of being out there.... I truly hope Pinklady cranks the bidet up to full blast next time you seek a drinking fountain....
KK9 is too hoarse to speak to you now, but under his breath, he is cursing you, and wonders why a "grown-ass adult" is knowledgeable about our Vegas bidet?
(shhhh!)
it's all about the NSA baby... and I found codes =) What exactly is that tattoo btw? =P
and speaking of Vegas Scoop of the Day....
there is so-oooo much, i can't even start, cause we are whipped. and 30 mins late to shoot @ BB Arena.
but suffice it to say - you can't MAKE this sh1t up!
PS - today started @ Media Room w/ Mike Howerton, where he graciously (sporting more hair than Jerry & Jay will ever wish to have :wink
was feverishly working to bring the pool world to all of us, and....
I NOW HAVE MY OWN AZB TSHIRT!!!!
(thanks Mike & Jerry & Mr. Wilson)
then we went to the Players' Practice Room -

Every year we get a new intake of posters proposing to add more teams to the event.
But the Mosconi Cup is what it is - a contest between USA and Europe.
The Asia, Philippines things etc are open to any enterprising person who fancy their as a Pool Promoter.
But be aware that this is the 20th time for the MC and Matchroom have spent many of those years building up the brand.

Well, if we go in that direction, then it should be Team Germany, Team Denmark, Team Holland, and Team England
JAM <---go Team USA :wink:
