Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

I love the crowd noise. And no, I won't get off your lawn.

You would get of my lawn more quickly than you think.
I was hoping Skyler would give all of those disrespectful pieces of s*** the finger after he made that 9-ball while they tried desperately to shark him, unadressed by the biased ref who then silenced the crowd on a 2ball the euros were shooting in the very next rack.

Awesome shots on the 3-4-5 after the fluke in.

 

[SA96]

Should be 3-0.

Europe are so lucky.

I don't understand why he would shush the crowd for an easy 2 ball shot after letting them yell and scream on a tricky game ball.

This is the Mosconi Cup. This is exactly the atmosphere that we need.

In any other individual tournament, sure, keep the crowd banter to a minimum. But in a team event like this with this much history, let the crowd make some noise. Yes, even while down on the shot.

I believe the refs were actually instructed by MR to accept some crowd noise while down the shot that simply raises the noise floor. I'm pretty sure the refs wouldn't tolerate any abrupt shouting or whistling that could audibly stand out right when the shooter is down on the shot.

If that is the atmosphere you're after, perhaps changing the name of the event to the "Pub Drunk Challenge" would be more appropriate.

Comparing this deal to the snooker world championship is laughable. A more accurate comparison would be conduct during the USOpen which is fine. This is no championship.

I didn't say they were comparable.

They are both high level, high exposure cueing competitions. No laugh there ;-)

Anyone who have connections to MR can give them a note that, maybe its a good idea to open the camera even if its just at the audience preview or even if techs are working is far far better than us watching the Fedor/Ochoa screenshot. Maybe they can do it....I much rather watch the music and audience coming in than just staring at the screenshot.

i agree with everything except ochoa, who doesn't look anything like that

Should be 3-0.

Europe are so lucky.

But for some players, luck itself is an art.

 

[JAM]

Is it over yet?

 

[JolietJames]

I think the roles have been pretty even other than getting shots after the break

Looks like it's Skyler's turn to carry Gorst today.

 

[JAM]

Folks excuse my ignorance here but just how is the US supposed to win? Score is 8-3, right? Only four matches on tap, right? Something doesn't add up. Mosconi math??

Is it a race to 11 or best of 21? If USA wins 8 in a row, they win? I don't get it.

As I'm reading this, I'm wondering where Styers game would be if he had either Keith or CJ's fearless mentality...

yes, if they do that they win..

Now they are enforcing crowd noise when the Euros are down on the ball. I guess the (17) Americans in attendance are getting too loud.

I wanted to bring this up that is B's by Marcel.

How do you yell when Europe is down but nothing when Europe is screaming when USA is down

 

[boblzer0]

Problem is he didn't hit the 9 hard enough. Ball banging donkey.

 

[PoolBum]

Skyler was trying to play shape on the 10 ball.
