Oh cmon 'Murica.. Imagine you again lost the Superbowl against a couple Germans, Scottish and Hungarians... for the 4th or 5th time in a row! Would there not be any rich football fan that would be able to set aside some spare change to set up a training site to nurture talents to regain pride...

Europe made a lot of mistakes too. Imo they only played marginally better than in the Reyes Cup.

There might be a business model. But even more if I was very rich, then I would be excited to be the founding father of a (possible) renaissance in a sport I'm passionate about.

Some rich AZ billiards fan can sure spare a million to set up a training fund for a bunch of talents? Grow them now. I find it peculiar that pool is so ingrained in USA culture but no angel investor to be found? Joe Rogan?

Also I believe Bob Jewett pointed out a billiards player did this to prevent anyone accusing said player of using the chalk to measure kick shots.

Recall which game? Just want to see it again. Never saw such perfect balancing out the spin vs rail induced spin

1) has there been any 9 ball break? 2) there has been a shot where the cue ball dropped dead after bouncing on the rail. Day 2 I think. Anyone recall the shot? The cue ball jumped on the rail and efffectively dropped dead next to it. Never seen it before.

Well lets hope USA gets a couple rolls and grab a win and start believin'. It does feel exactly like last Reyes cup. Europe immediately trailing a lot, seemingly not feeling it, no teamspirit, then win a point or two with a slimmer of hope.... aaaand they lost.

I would be curious what would happen if some rich person adopted the best 10 youth (16-18yr old) players and get them trained full throttle. Training camp, trips to Phillipines, everything. Hmm well they would make a solid team probably, but won't beat world class players out of nowhere. Never...

And lets not forget Alcaide making that final shot. Cold.

Europe has one hell of a line up

Its his coping mechanism. Anyway, I hope USA gets on their feet. The Reyes Cup was kind of boring and a similar result, with Europe winning would be equally boring tbh. When it's kind of close the Mosconi Cup is perhaps the most fun event to watch!
