It was good for the event that Asia won and won handily. Not convinced Europe tried their very hardest, but it gives them a bit of a kicking before the Mosconi Whilst the crowd was good, surely they can give a heap of free tickets away to the local kids and their families to attend and have a...

Look i do like what Matchroom is doing for Pool, more events for me to watch, proper coverage, great. But it does seem to be the same old players over and over again, even in the open events. I know many events are ranking based or invitation but there are some supposed open tournaments Take...

Matchroom has really vamped up the events which is great for the players and great for fans BUT i know not everyone is a fan of Matchroom. As an Aussie with uk roots, it means i get to see these pool events on Foxtel in HD with proper production values and commentary. I remember trying to...

Congrats Shane, really good for World pool. USA needed this win. No one is going to begrude SHane this victory. Was almost meant to be after the Mika comeback

Quite a few comments about the drunk crowd. Darts have become huge (with huge prize pools for a 'pub game') because of the drunk crowds who come, dress up and have a good time.

The Ryder cup for Golf is basically a side show, in Golf it is all about the majors. In pool, yes there are some big tournaments, but the Mosconi cup is one of the bigger promoted and televised events of the year Jeremy Jones , the way he played showed that it is more about composure in that...

Shane obviously does not enjoy playing in the Mosconi Cup. If he quits playing in the event, he will get crucified for 'abandoning his country'. There is not a huge gaggle of upcoming US talent nipping at his heels to 'push' him out of the team. He will automatically be in the team for at least...

This year, if Europe had Appleton, Melling and Oushan instead of Feijen, Kaci and Kazadis, they would have won easily Shaw Filler Appleton Melling Oushan to me is the Europe dream team

Just watched the presentations and Barry Hearn's speech next year London, double capacity of york No way they don't try get more Englishmen on the team (i.e. Appleton and Melling).

I have to have a chuckle Compared to what Earl has said and done over the years, what Filler said and did this year is nothing

Europe are selecting players for this unique event based on regular tournament results The way around this is to have selection of a certain number of players via tournament results to a 10 to 16 player selection event held 2 months before the Mosconi Say 8 players from the year's tournament...

Who is your current Top 5 in the world for 9ball ? In no particular order, i think Joshua Filler Wu Chia Ching Shane Van Boening Jayson Shaw one of the philipinos

What was a bit of a disappointing tournament in terms of upset ended up having a cracking final ! Really good stuff Both players deserved to win and lose

I want to see Shane v Skyler in the final now

Look i know it's a short race where anything can happen But the list of players where it is the worst i have ever ever seen them play on TV is pretty big. So many schoolboy errors It really seemed like the players just didn't care if they lost Is Gibralter so grotty, everyone wanted to get...
