As a neutral im glad USA won Really didn't like this Europe team, with no Appleton, Boyes or Melling, didn't really like any of the players except for Shaw Kaci and Kazidis just shouldn't have been in the team rankings mean jack in pool because of the number of tours in the world Alex Kaz...

There can definitely be more Americans at the top of the game than there are now, no doubt, but there will never be a situation again where say 7 or 8 out of the Top 10 players in the world are Americans The transfer of knowledge is so different nowadays, not just with Pool but for everything...

Yeah Ramon Dekkers is a legend :)

It really is a tribute to the game of American pool that more and more people worldwide want to play it. A few decades ago, the best European cueists played snooker or English pool. English pool has effectively died off and only so many can survive on the brutally tough snooker tour so that has...

Man so many scratches by both teams ! USA had it's chances but no cigar still, this USA team has a heap of potential in future years

Another good day, glad it is still close I like the Justins I know he well and truly earnt his spot on the Euro team but if Europe had Chris Melling instead of mark gray, they would be better

If USA Lose narrowly (say 11-8 or 11-7), it would be considering a victory Another year with more team building and experience and on US soil, and then USA will truly be ready to compete if they fall short this year

I think people underestimate just how toxic Earl's presence was on the team Ithink people also underestimate also how past his prime for this particular format the likes of Rodney and Johnney were As a neutral, great to see USA put on a good showing, Shane seems so much at ease in the...

Karl and Darren are a great pairing in the doubles which i thinked helped Karl's selection I would have preferred to have seen Chris Melling but Karl is still strong

I don't know the new players but it's great to see a new fresh US Mosconi team Definitely the way forward

Yep guys, it's played by World Rules 8ball and yes for a foul you get two shots instead of ball in hand

Matt Bolton, the no 2 billiards player in the world v Sonny Lister, a legend of Australian 8 Ball in a 25K money match LIVE RIGHT NOW ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dsej1zJ7WU

Man, i've played in Pool leagues, Tennis leagues, indoor soccer leagues, basketball leagues Competition can bring out the worst in people, the worst i have seen is in female netball leagues ! When you have a heap of people who mainly work regular jobs, these competitive leagues are a bit of...

What does everyone think about Chinese 8 Ball and it's rules ? I think it is getting quite popular in China You can find some matches on this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/genipool14/videos They had a tournament with Shane Van Boeing, Darren Appleton, Chris Melling, karl Boyes...

Thanks for your insight Jerry The Matchroom sport world pool championship ended up having a field of 128 so you truly had the best in the world plus a heap of room for wildcards for snooker/english 8ball players and others. The round robin format meant that the best usually did get through to...

I can't believe there is 30 pages of this thread! Both Gareth and Shane are class players and both have cuesports/rule sets that they favour over others English 8ball is close to dead. Gareth is the last truly great player who will come from that code. Less and less young english player are...

Ronnie O Sullivan then Chris Melling and Darren Appleton used to be Reyes and Wu Chia Ching

Held in Cardiff in the early 2000s I know there is still a world 9 ball championship, but the tv coverage of the matchroom event was awesome and it did truly include the best players form Europe, Asia and the USA. Also because it was held in Britain, many snooker players gave it a crack which...

For the individual players, is it worth the stress and hassle ? Look at how much grief they have gotten from this forum alone ! When the US was easily beating Europe, they were beating up on snooker players and part time pool players. That was the idea of the Mosconi cup in the first place, to...

Great post, i enjoyed the read :) You only forgot to mention Chris Melling as another european stud who didn't make the team
