Appreciate the updates. Can't watch at work.
Mosconi Cup 2019 Day 3
- Thread starter Nostroke
- Start date
Shane breaks wet in Rack 6 and Skyler faces a long missable one ball into the bottom corner and he is not up to the task, Filler must play safe, and does so well. SVB will attempt a difficult jump-in cut of the one and he hits it like a charm. What an amazing shot! The finish line is in sight and Shane/Skyler should run out for the 5-1 victory, but Skyler has a shocking miss on the four ball. Kaci misses right back on the four and Shane gets things back in order, making the four. He and Skyler run out from there for a 5-1 lead. They really played well in this one.
Team USA now leads the Mosconi Cup by six matches to five.

I will not try and predict who wins todays session but I will go out on a limb and predict all five matches don't end up with a score of 5-1.
1 down, 4 to go.
i was getting my hopes up. this is looking dark for us euro fans. neils is shaky, alex is shaky and i think kaci has a lot on his mind and is underperforming
but yeh, get them oldies out of the com-box. where is boyes and jj??
lol, nice. Glad I didn't say there would be no 5-1's today. Great start to todays play!
Cheers
i don't know but he hasn't missed many balls aside from the one last match
niels still misses those cut shots. 0-1
Match 12 is ready to go, and it’s back to singles. Trailing 6-5 in matches, the pressure is on Europe here. Skyler and Niels are up and if Skyler can play the way he did in Match 11, his chances are excellent. It’s Feijen who wins the lag and he breaks wet in rack 1 but doesn’t have a shot on the one. He must kick safe in the absence of a decent push out. His safety is a thing of beauty. Skyler, facing a tough kick, makes a good hit but sells out the one ball. Niels can’t cash in the opportunity presented, but plays a good safety on the three ball. Skyler’s kick is exceptional, and Niels will either play yet another safety or chance a tough cut on the three in the corner. He gambles and loses, hanging the three, and Skyler has an opportunity here. He gets a little funny on the six but rises to the occasion, cutting it thin into the corner. The rest is easy and Skyler leads 1-0. That was one weird rack
Would have never guess we'd see Neil's make so many mistakes
Nice play by Woodward. 2-0.
Skyler breaks dry in rack 2, leaving no shot on the one for Niels and the layout looks very messy. Feijen plays a strong safe, sending the one by the nine. If Skyler misses the hit, the rack will be over by combo, but he makes a good hit, and is very fortunate to snooker back. Niels jumps in the one ball on a really fine effort but later hooks himself on the three and misses the kick. I’ve never seen Niels play this badly on the offense side of the game. Skyler cashes in this gift and now lead 2-0.
Huge miss by sky hoping it doesn't come back to hurt him
Sky broke dry Neils runs out 2-2 Neils break
