This has become an oddly compelling event. Seeing how many ways Team USA can find a way to lose.

At least the players are putting up a fight. Styer and Gorst gave it their all, mistakes and all. SVB is the only one really playing his game, though.

Uh oh, did you just call this event compelling?!

Gorst looked shell shocked in that first game against Filler. I think the whole Team USA is shell shocked after what just happened in that first match. Filler's position shot from the six to seven in rack one was twice as hard as Styer's eight to nine was, and he hit it perfectly. That clearly shows the difference ability wise in these two teams. Pros playing amateurs is how it looks.

Watching Greg Norman collapse or figure skaters fall or field goal kickers miss is also compelling. That's part of sports!

Nah. A person would have to really have issues to put this much effort into what I post on here.:)

How many lags does Shane have to lose before another player gets a chance.

it's no conspiracy, the US team just isn't that good.

We have the talent but not the work ethic, along with a small handful of folks with the work ethic but not the talent. Only SVB combines the two.

We have no billiard schools, no coaches for the professional level players and the Euro’s include 14.1 in their arsenal.
Johan Ruijsink specifically had JJ as Vice Captain to learn, implement and continue the things Team USA learned during the 3 years he coached them, winning 2 out of 3 Mosconi Cups.
I’d like to know why all those lessons have fallen by the wayside.
 
So our best case scenario is ending the day 6-3 right?

Worst case scenario is 8-0, since they will likely not play a 5th match if the slaughter continues.

If they only play 4 matches today then our best case scenario is 6-2.

Ouch.
 
So, the US has to win 11 before these Euro cats win 5, right??? The fat lady can start warming up whenever she'd like. Hey what was that??? Think i saw Bergman and Johan in the background. ;)
