After listening to it again, Earl's comment didn't seem that bad. It is at 02:10:06 if you want to review it yourself.
Can someone recommend a site where I can watch the recorded plays. I can't watch live. I don't mind paying, I just need find a good site for viewing the recorded matches. Thanks.

The only option for US viewers appears to be DAZN. It is definitely not on matchroom.live. Otherwise, it requires somehow getting Sky Sports via a VPN service or whatnot.
Already paid for this year. Gonna support team USA. Just wish someone else was in Earl’s place. Cringe every time he is on
DAZN, 20 dollars for a month. Replays are available through the 7th
I don't know if I could disagree with this statement any more. First of all, we already have a World Cup. This is entirely put on for the fans and few players who qualify. Almost EVERY player interviewed states that there is no higher pressure situation in pool than playing this tournament.
I am guessing you were not around when the US was winning 11 years in a row? Or even a few years ago when the US won back to back?
Your last statement that the US never really has had the best players is laughable.
Up until recently, relatively speaking, the US has had the best players. Strickland, Seigal, Hall, Archer, Varner, SVB and on and on. The last 20 years is really when the Euros have caught, and yes, surpassed the US with the overall depth of their talent. But remember your world champion 9 baller is from the US.

Looks like it's been a rough 4 years for Thorpe...
I was just thinking the same thing...he has fallen off from a couple years ago. Then I remember he's young and probably making some not- so- wise life choices. Here's hoping he matures. It does stand in stark contrast to the youngsters Filler and Gorst, who seem to be laser focused on pool and being the best at it.

I see what you're saying. Thought you meant today.
Man, it's hard to look at this and think the USA managing to even go 2-3 today would be a huge victory. Europe is just stacked. Even in a 1-3 hole, Europe is probably still the favorite.
(I am an unabashed USA fan, btw.)
personally i like follow too there. maybe draw is more textbook (cb coming in line with next ob) but he didn't have much angle.
earl's comment was maybe not so good, but he made up for it by being very supportive in sky's match. by earl's standards he is (so far) behaving well.

First of all, other than Earl the early pool players (before the 90's) were garbage. Efren proved that. Secondly, Europe didn't play "american pool" but look how quickly they caught up? Why? Because the usa players fundamentally speaking were garbage.
Thirdly, a world cup with teams...not usa against Europe...that's a country against a continent..... If there already is one then no need for the mosconi cup.
Lastly, Mosconi couldn't play 9 ball to save his life...just watch him and Fats butcher the game on an 8 ball table with buckets. The old guys were straight pool players who ran up scores because the tables had buckets.
People aren't mentioning that Earl almost immediately apologized. Earl shouldn't have been chosen IMO, however, he IS acting differently so far and he WAS getting insanely unlucky.
