Mosconi day 1 lineups announced - thoughts

Mike played horrible that game but had a HUGE heart on the last few balls!! USA 1-0!!! :groucho::thumbup2:

 

[Joe_Jaguar]

Dechaine misses the 3 but it comes all the way to the opposite corner and in! I love his reaction - all smiles, no apologies. He's in a tough spot on the 5 now though.

The better reaction was the look on Lil' Boyes' face when the camera swung around to him. Looked like someone stole his barbie doll.

Usa!!!!!!!!

He definitely had something HUGE in that game but it wasn't the heart. lol

 

[oldplayer]

[gxman]

LOL. These are funny but captured the action perfectly.

I'll take it. Those rolls have gone Europe's way recently. I remember Boyes doing his stupid bow and arrow routine after dogging a ball in last year.

 

[Cardigan Kid]

The faces of Europe told me a lot. They have doubt in their eyes.
There was more drama in that first set than I could handle.
My hands were shaking just holding my phone! :grin-square:
Bravo dechaine! What a way to fight off the demons. The look on Coach Wilson's eyes when he shook hands with dechaine told a lot as well.
Go U.S.A.!

5x5 match racks breakdown USA wins 5-4 to lead 1-0
Corey 0 Niels 1
Shane 1 Boyes 0
Justin 0 Darren 1
Mike Dechaine 1 Van den berg 0
Sky 0 Albin 1
Corey 1 Niels 0
Shane 0 Boyes 1
Justin 1 Darren 0
Mike Dechaine 1 Van den berg 0

So Mike was the key for USA winning 2 racks. Darren lost it for Europe after that bad position on 5

 

[jojopiff]

Interesting 2 rail bank by Dechaine to get on the 5 from the 3. That's why I'm sitting at home tho

 

[ChicagoJoe]

What's going on with Boyes and someone in the audience on the left side?

Daz's rack was tough.

 

[chevybob20]

Nick to break. 1 ball down and no pocket for the 2. 9-3 close to each other on the rail. 9 blocking the 3. Safety battle ensues.

 

[chevybob20]

Speaking of luck, Carl kicks and slops in the 5.

3-9 cluster is looming large.

 

[Apocalypse2017]

CD whaaaaaat!!!!

 

[ChicagoJoe]

This is pretty damn entertaining.

 

[gxman]

wow corey coming with some amazing shots!

 

[chevybob20]

Corey Duel just hit the perfect 1 pocket cross over bank on the 3 ball. Mike hooks Corey 2 balls behind the 8. Corey jumps, pockets the ball the CB runs on top of the rail and returns to the slate!

USA runs out. 1-1

 

[ChicagoJoe]

Corey with probably the two shots of the tourney in one rack.
