The races are not short Day 1 Europe won 20-17 in games Day 2 Europe won 22-16 Day 3 Europe won 21-17 Day 4 Europe won 14-13 Overall pretty even matches with Europe winning all four days 77-63. Solid and telling, but still relatively close each day.

Team USA is on the right track, its only a matter of time - they will win the Mosconi again soon. But not this year I hope :-)

Mike Massey - who knows a tiny bit about draw shots - say that himself at 1.12: "To do the power draw shot, you have to drop the elbow"

Really: USA had a population of 322 millions in 2014. The countries who have been able to produce Mosconi Cup players in the recent years when Europe have been dominant are Germany, UK, Netherlands, Greece, Finland, Poland, and I could even throw in Austria - that is around 225 millions - 100...

Sad and shocking news. I met him when I was in Vegas for the US Open 10ball in 2010 or 2011. At the time I was playing with an OB cue - luckily I still have it. Royce went out of his way to make me feel welcome - a true gentleman. RIP

There is at least one fake Orcullo account on FB, has been causing him some problems I am guessing this stupidity comes from one of the fake ones. Dennis is not that gago

haha, excellent reply Angel. Hope you are doing well - great initiative :thumbup:

Its hard to compare US Open and WPC. they have different formats, and even if some players from WPC are missing in the Open, the US Open has an extra dimension with the double elimination format. I am not saying you can fluke yourself to a world title by luck of the draw, but the single...

Thats correct, in this match he was a bit unlucky though. He had two dry breaks with open table for Rodney. Plus he got unlucky when he opened up the 4-10 cluster in the last game. Thats the only "mistakes" he made. Rodney scratched on a safe from Carlo, he missed a nine-ball, he got lucky with...

Alcano is now under the Bugsy wings again in the Philippines, and is making an effort to get his playing career up and going again. Extremely talented player, just need structure and discipline

Colin, I have seen those scratches on a Diamond before, but not on a Brunswick. I hate Diamond :grin-square:

Thanks for the info SJM. Do you happen to know which ones were alternate break and which were winners break? Just wondering if that makes a difference between these two

wrong forum? :thumbup:

I could be wrong, but I believe Strickland once said about Okumura: He is so slow, it takes him 3 hours to watch 60 Minutes

:thumbup:AtLarge, thanks for the efforts :) and btw, even if this thread doesn't have the same number of hits as the drama threads in the Main Forum, don't you worry - your contribution is 100 times more valuable and appreciated

Veru true, I had an 8' table with 5" pockets at home for a couple of years - at the same time I played tournaments on 9' tables and tighter pockets. So I could compare this over time. HUGE difference in straight pool, I don't consider the runs I had in straight pool on my home table as my...

That reminds me of the two players I saw lagging for the break. One of them miscued and never got the CB past the line, the other schratched in the corner. Any ref's here? :eek:

nope, he is not there :)

Earl Strickland is currently in Norway, more specific a very small place called Reisa in the northern parts of Norway Some info in english about the tournament here: http://www.reisaopen.no/news/item/1-reisa-open-first-news. and on facebook (in Norwegian, but there is always google...

If your wife is into ice-hockey, maybe Efren is Wayne Gretzky? Or if she likes religion, Efren is God.
