I am amazed that anybody showing an interest in a subject should not have read up a bit about it before posting threads about it. Fourteen of that list will not play as the five selected will come from Brandon Shuff, Corey Deuel. Jeremy Sossei, John Schmidt, Justin Bergman, Justin Hall, Oscar...

I have two sets of these one of which is unopened and still in the original cellophane.They were given to me by Maurice Rind who owned World Wide Collectibles.who published them. I was over in Vegas for the World Team Billiards finals and the cards were launched to coincide with that. I was...

David Alcaide is a class player and a top guy as well. Perhaps he doesn't think that pool should be the only thing in his life and is not as dedicated as he could be. But when his cue comes out of the case he can take down ANYONE. 8 Ball is a popular game in his native Spain and he plays plenty...

I don't think that you will be finding any of the Mosconi Eight getting into action games now. They have their priorities altered and it is an image that their captain is trying to bury. Perhaps the only exception is Shane. But I cannot see too many beating a path to HIS door given the form he...

The money for both teams is considerably higher this year.

When Matchroom gave Mark the Mosconi job they trusted him to an unprecedented degree because that is the only way that this could work. So he set about creating his squad of 8 players. That they are on the list shows that they can play a bit but he interviewed a large number of candidates. He...

DARYL PEACH was born in Yorkshire an spent most of his early life there

There have been a host of good ideas brought up by members of this forum regarding the new look MC team. But if you look at this link http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=346554 then it may enlighten you to the fact that Mark was thinking along those lines before he was offered the...

I am more than happy tha Mark has chosen Don to accompany him on The Road to Mosconi0. Few people wil understand the enormity of the task that Mark has undertaken. Matchroom have placed him in a unique position by letting him have responsibilities that no previous Captain (including European...

The thing about Mark's Play Great Pool is that you will never, ever have to buy anothr instructional book for as long as you can hold a cue. Even a handcuffed corpse could take something from this book.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you. I have seen all but about three of the 20 Mosconi Cups. In virtually every case it has been won by the team who have the best team spirit. In the early years the US had Rempe, Varner etc who wee all close knit with each other.The Euro tean hardly knew each...

The five man mosconi cup team - not yet. The five players who will make up the US Mosconi Cup team will not be known until way late in the Summer roughly about the same time as the Euro names are revealed. What you will have are the names of eight players who comprise the Mosconi Cup Squad...

You will need eight. So who are your eight. The first person to name all eight correctly - I will send them a Special Mosconi related gift. But you will have to be quick! But nothing will be revealed before Matchroom's Official Press Release.

Careful Howard. You might have to crack out the Zimmer Frame

I reckon that would be a 'One Horse Race' and the 3-0 scoreline would not be in SVB's favor. At best he could maybe come close in American 8 Ball but he would need a few more big table game to match up to Potts. Even Darren would be reluctant to take him on in that format.

If you saw Ronnie's cue ball control in that final 147 and given the sort of action that you get on those large carom balls, you would have to believe Ronnie would make them dance and the crowd gasp if he were to play 3 cushion.

Well Matchroom once had a Brazilian player in the European Masters and he travelled from there. Lee Chen Man has represented Hong Kong, England and Scotland in various Matchroom events. So the rules are there are no rules

/////////////////////Since Mark Wilson was given the Mosconi captaincy the Winds of Change are blowing through the game and there is a spirit of optimism in the air, a sense of anticipation as people await the announcement of The Wilson Warriors. How about this combination Shane or Dechaine but...

I like Mike. I met him a few years ago when we shared a taxi on the way to the Galveston tournament and I thought that he was an OK guy. I also agree with SJM that he is the US number two player. But there is a problem. It is not that he is unpopular with the public, it is just that he is...

I think that you are going to see a lot of interesting things happening around this year's Mosconi Cup
