So the current most in form American player will not get a chance to represent this country at the upcoming Mosconi Cup!

Completely agree!

We're down to the last 8 on the winners side. 6 of them are Europeans! And another 5 or 6 Europeans on the 1 loss side!

what about the Justin match?

Does anyone else disagree with the 2ball being racked at the back? It just makes all the racks less random. I want to see these top players have to work harder for a run out.

Came across this....

I look forward to that! :smile::grin:

Totally agree. This is a Matchroom invitational event. In the early years it was predominantly 'names' and snooker players that got the invites. But more recently they have set out a rankings system/selection process, although imo still slightly flawed, to obtain an invite. This was definitely a...

I am just saying that Matchroom have the final say/approval. With regard to the WCOP I believe there are changes in the pipeline with regard to choosing the pairs. In the past for some it has been a case of picking one and then saying to them "who do you want to play with" I've heard a...

Your points are valid. There is no doubting he is one of the top players in the world. My argument is that if you're just going to pick people based on this sort of criteria, it undermines the whole Mosconi points events. Also may I respectfully suggest that it is alittle naive to believe that...

In general there's not alot of money in pool. So an extra $15k to play in the MC is a big deal I'm a big fan of Jayson Shaw, He got in on a wildcard last year. IMO he does not even warrant consideration this year. He's not had a great year in the MC ranking events and there are loads more...

Any thoughts on who should join Filler, Kaci & Kazakis? IMO as all three will only be making their second appearances, I think one of the wildcards should go to a player with more MC experience but still high in the rankings. Possibly Feijen or Souquet. As for the second wildcard, that's tough...

Is this what you mean?

IMO Women actually have the potential to earn more. They have their own tour, which obviously men cannot enter. And then there are all the 'normal' comps. Most are 'open' events and not 'men only' events. eg US Open, International Open, Turning Stone, etc, etc, etc. So it should be Shane...

Agreed. So Jayson is Scottish and therefore by default is also British. A poor analogy might be a person from Houston is a Houstonian and therefore by default is also a Texan

Just to be pedantic, Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. GB is only England, Scotland &Wales. However, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is only it's shortened name. When you use it's full name, things become clear. The full name is: "The United...

One of my friends shared this with me earlier today.....

What was the Dream Challenge against Russia for? Was is about helping to decide on the team selection for the Mosconi Cup? Or was it about winning the contest and the prize money? If it was the latter. Then you would expect the coach to play his strongest team. So would that explain why, from...

I'm European, but also a pool fan. The best result for me would be for a close competitive Mosconi Cup (With a European win of course). Agreed that Corey lost to 2 monsters at the US Open, but so would of most other players. I believe a Corey playing well is better than a Max playing his best...

With all due respect, I think you are being selective with regard to the previous matches CD and ME have played. Who did ME lose to at the WC and US Open?
