Surely it would be better if Shane was off the poll and we voted for the other four spots. If you want to keep it to 25 then try John Schmidt

Euro/UK Maybe just for this year, while USA are regrouping, an all UK Team would suffice. Appleton Peach Boyes Melling Shaw But that is still frightening with these on the bench Burford Gray Majid O'Sullivan White

Mark Wilson is dedicated and single minded in relation to this project. He almost has all his ducks in a row. When the news of his progress emerges soon then it will be a squad that he will stand firmly behind and they will do the same for him. They may not be to everybody's liking but he is...

Do you have some objection to me having an opinion on what happens to pool in the USA. There are many people on this Forum who could tell you why I am so keenly interested in discussing the American perspective of The Mosconi Cup. I was involved with this tournament from Day One when I ran...

This seems an unusual point of view from someone displaying such an obvious military avatar. What is the average age of combat soldiers that you send out into the world. I'll wager it is way below what any Mosconi newcomers are. Of course young players will handle the pressure. Or is Blackpool...

The whole point of this exercise is to allow the Captain and his players to associate and bond together to create the elusive team spirit, Do no doubt Matchroom should be announcing Mark Wilson's choices fairly soon.. Then let the fun begin! It only brings things in line with Europe where Coach...

They need look no further than Mosconi Cup Master of Ceremonies JOHN McDONALD. Sorted! Not a Scot but he has a Scottish.name. Neither is Michaela, who is English but is married to a Flying Scotsman

Perhaps you should look at this link http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=346554 It was posted before Mark was appointed and discussed with Matchroom. They are funding Mark's 'Boot Camp' but considered the schedule, as posted, too rigorous. But they will run a scaled down version of...

Tar Mark will have this under control. But he has the facilities to do their own thing and this coming weekend you can watch his Linderwood University Team take on another team fronted by Nick Varner. Some of his potential MC picks will be in action. I don't have a link yet but I will post it...

This team's age averages around 32 years old. Hardly youths

The thing to remember is that Mark has plenty of time because he is there for the long haul. Not just this year but long term. So he could go for a mixture of teenagers and young men. SVB obviously, but Shuff and Dominguez deserve another chance and Mike Dechaine is still a class player who only...

How about Justin Bergman and Joey Gray. Not forgetting Oscar Dominguez.

:smile:who? me?:smile:

The most significant thing about Mark's selection is that is almost 9 months earlier than usual.

Mark Selby played in the 2003 World Pool Championship after qualifying in his local club. He never made it out of the Group Stages where he had to face Fabio Petroni for a place in the Last 64. Fabio won 9-3.

That is never going to happen because the Mosconi Cup has a Box Office. But let's face it - who goes to see anyone in the US team other than Earl. But if the Captain was allowed to pick the squad then Matchroom would retain the right to veto anyone that they considered unsuitable for the task...

Number One on the Job Specification of Mosconi Cup US Coach/Manager: Must believe that my team can and will win. That is the object of a contest. It is not hoping to lose LESS BADLY. It is not the winning that matters it is the taking part - Bullshit. It is the Winners that get the prizes...

If you can't understand then I don't want you to understand it. I don't want to get any more graphic Suffice to say it is a compliment

Gets rid of the s**t and then refreshes

I think that the major deficiency that has emerged from the contemporary Mosconi Cups is the inability of the US players to act as a team and display some genuine national pride. Evey time I read something about Mark it is this quality to lead that is a recurring theme. Sure there are other...
