I think that's a culture thing but I could be wrong
Delighted Appleton defeated SVB (for the 8th straight time, apparently), Europe deserving the overnight lead.
C- is a pretty generous rating, considering his record.
Some fabulous pool played by both teams, really looking forward to the rest of this :thumbup:
I did a search for Shane Van Boening vs Darren Appleton and the first thing that came up was a 2014 match and Shane won it 7 to 3.
The next one that came up in 2014 had Shane beating Darren in the final of the Andy Mercer.
Maybe Darren was saying Shane won 8 straight.

I think Darren was kidding. FYI, Darren beat Shane at the Accu-stats Make it Happen event at Sandcastle a few weeks ago and Appleton/Boyes were victorious over Shane/Strickland at the World Cup of Pool.
Some say good play, some say not. I must say I found the day to be entirely enjoyable, similar misses by both sides, and some great shots too....along with some great safes, too. BTW, a pressure 9-ball by Corey after Appleton missed the 9 ball down the rail.
John Schmidt gets the gold ring for day one in my book. Great singles match, hard fought and won by John against a very strong playing opponent in Gray. With positive vibrations given by John throughout the match. Well played!
Again, a fun day 1, with both teams ready for an exciting day 2. Delighted so far.
ESPN3 works very nicely for me. Hope so for all others as well.

In MC singles H2H record, Daz now ahead 3-1
Don't know about non-MC matches
Very good summary . I like the player grades. Keep grading them
Thanks for clarifying the small booth monitors Jay. It seemed they couldn't see what was obvious on my big screen, such as how the player was aligning to the shot. It's a shame they don't put a large monitor in the booth. Sure makes the com's job very difficult.
Agree that the commentary has been great in all other regards! :grin-square:
Wish you were in there too btw!
Seventeen of the twenty US Moscocni teams won at least eight matches, and just two of them won less than seven, one of those chosen entirely by Matchroom. Less than eight matches won would be very poor and establish this team as one of our four worst ever.
We need to win this and anything less would be disappointing. There are no rebuilding years in pool. The time to perform is now and if we don't, we'll need to look at ourselves objectively in the mirror.
Yes, 2 PM eastern.
