Yeah, I thought the crowd went over the top (at times) and it wasn't the easiest environment to play in. Not all us fans are like that and I do hope that it hasn't left a negative opinion for team USA. I found all the American players to be very approachable, down to earth and I'm sure you...

That's what I tool from his interview that unless USA raise their game and at least run it close then 2017 might be the last Mosconi. However, looking at how many people were at the venue, I'm sure he will come up with something every December to keep the fans happy, would be a shame to can the...

Although I have been a European fan, I can only say I hope that USA come back stronger than ever next year. Team Europe have grown far too arrogant for me, and are a far cry from the team that I enjoyed and urged on to beat Strickland and co all those years ago. I keep reading the Mosconi...

The only way that will happen is to schedule 4 games tomorrow. America at this point look unmotivated and disinterested. A far cry from the team that I grew up loving to hate, who, in my opinion were ruthless, destructive and arrogant. Watching Grey getting selfies before the last rack...

I presume they want to give the fans something to watch tomorrow. In fact I wouldn't be suprised to only see 4 matches scheduled on day 3. The best matchroom could hope for is 2 2 tomorrow, going in 9 4 on day 4. Therefore no refunds :)

I thought Shaw got caught up in the atmosphere too much yesterday, seemed to think he was Conor McGregor when he was walking to the table. Then went on to tank some shots...

I'm pretty sure I saw the cueball roll off a couple of times, surely unacceptable at this type of level.

As I have tickets for Thursday and Friday, I found myself in the odd position of willing team USA to get some points on the board. I have waited all year for this, and now I fully expect it to be pretty much over tonight, I will be shocked if there is a 4th day. Europe certainly got the rolls...

A European fan here, need to complement team USA, you guys have a likeable team this year. Don't get me wrong I kind of miss Hatch, Strickland as I loved to hate them - and made the games a little more tense. But you guys seem so much more together this year and I think you could sneak it. On a...

that is shocking. such a great game...

I think Hearn did try and push it a few years ago, especially with the use of the Steve Davis. It always remained on SKY though and was usually lost amongst other more popular sports. With the BBC in the UK (free to air) hardly having any sport, Snooker being one of their Jewels, I would like...

I think more people would play it if there were more televised events. I was thinking it would be 'massive' in the sense of good crowds and reasonable viewing figures. One critiscm that people have for snooker is that it has become a little dull and slow / boring. 9ball is a very exciting...

Maniac: As a UK viewer I was surprised by the attendance... It always seems much busier when it is hosted in the UK (I hope to get tickets in 2014!). It is such an exciting game, I can't believe it isn't bigger, I think it has the potential to be HUGE in the UK. Going forward, I imagine the...

I don't think Earl is a disgrace. I would just say Earl is Earl. In snooker we are crying out for a character like him, he often crosses the line and his talking during shots is off putting, however I think that makes you want to beat him more, so in a way he is only harming his chances. I...

I thought that the US were a little unlucky this year. It seems their hands were forced to who they had to pick. I was excited to see the return of Earl and with Hatch (one of my fav US players) and Morris it was an entertaining line up. The commentators over here, kept saying that Hatch and...
