    Gee that Landon kid is good !

    Don't you think it's sad that in so many other sports, a youngster as talented as Landon would be getting ready to go pro, whether it be tennis, golf, NBA, NFL etc etc But with pool, he needs to forge another career with pool as a secondary thing. There's never gonna be another generation of...

Hardly anyone can make a living from cuesports here. In...

    Team Europe (vs) Team USA

    Whilst definitely skillful, one pocket and bank pool are novelty games Melling would be favourite against Alex in Snooker and Darren Appleton would be favourite against anyone on the planet in 9 or 10ball. Man you clutchin man really clutchin As others have mentioned, it wasn't about the...

    I think Philippines v Team Europe would be razor close No way one team runs away with it Is Barry Hearn really open to messing with the 20 year tradition ? But he cant afford to have another year with the US team not having a chance. Although i guess there were many years when Europe didn't...

    An American disgrace

    The bottom line The American team except for SVB are the stars of yesteryear, the European team are the stars of today The commentators kept going on about how every player on both team was a world champ etc For the european team, these titles have come this year or at the most in the past...

    Earl is embarasing and shaming himself, his father, his family, his team and his nation really hard to watch someone be that much of a twat

    Mosconi Updates Please

    Pool like most sports at the elite level is a confidence thing Europe has it in spades USA are playing scared Could have been so different had USA got off to a better start Looks like no final day. They should tee up some money matches to televise on the final day

    Mosconi Updates Please

    Remember Darren Appleton, Karl Boyes and Chris Melling came from the game of UK 8ball (as well as snooker) I know when Americans come over and see UK 8ball they think it's a Mickey Mouse game, small balls on a small table etc The balls are smaller, but the pockets are also way smaller and with...
